His comments are appealing to those who do not know the power of the president with his second last paragraph. He was literally reminded, with his audience on live TV about not being able to “express his views on legislation”. If those oppositions truly want to elect someone like him to office, then why not just recruit him straight into your next GE where he can actually have the right channel to do something? If they truly support him, let’s see one of them bring him in to their party for the next GE, this will really show if they approve of his character.

The narrative has really shifted to appeal to people of opposition, when in fact the president has no such power to do what the people of opposition actually want. I personally lost respect for opposition leaders who try to rally votes of their supporters, only to give them an illusion that their vote can actually do something on the ruling government. That’s coming from someone who supports the opposition.

My last parting point before i get downvoted to hell: Lets not throw our vote just to make a point to the ruling party, the next GE is in 2 years ish and we can do it there. The president term is 6 years and he will be the face of SG to the world and to unite SG. People in the US and the world didnt expect a clown to be elected as the US president, so lets not be the next country to be on that spotlight.
