S'pore President not meant to be independent voice or check on government: Ho Ching
"Don’t fly the false flag of independence, check and balance, complaints bureau, etc."

This was what Ho Ching, wife of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, said in a Facebook post on Wednesday (Jun. 14).

The primary role is that of a head of state, representing Singapore as a nation and state, and the symbol of unity for our people. The secondary role for which the election is to be held is to hold a second key to help safeguard our reserves and the integrity of our key institutions."

She also stressed that while it is a critical and important role, the presidency is not a political one in Singapore's parliamentary system.

So Tharman is over-qualified...
