    Halimah Yacob Submits Letters Of Resignation As Speaker Of Parliament, MP M-YT GRC And PAP Member

    Halimah Yacob, who confirmed on Sunday (Aug 6) that she intends to contest the upcoming Presidential Election that has been reserved for Malay candidates, submitted her letters of resignation on Monday from her roles as Speaker of Parliament and People’s Action Party Member of Parliament (Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC).

    “I also tender my resignation from the People’s Action Party with immediate effect,” she said in her resignation letter to Prime Minister and Secretary-General of the PAP, Mr Lee Hsien Loong.

    She will also cease to be a member of the PAP Central Executive Committee and Chairperson of the PAP Seniors’ Group.

    She told Mr Lee that she had decided to contest the Presidential Election “after careful consideration and consultation with friends, colleagues and family members”.

    Speaking at a National Day dinner at the Marsiling Mega Sports Park, Mdm Halima had said: “I recognise that the position of the elected President has the tremendous capacity to do good for all Singaporeans and for Singapore.

    “Hence, I wish to inform you that I will be contesting in the coming Presidential Election.”

    She said on Sunday that she will ask Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to consider sending an adviser to support the work of the other Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC MPs Lawrence Wong, Alex Yam and Ong Teng Koon. She also said she had asked Mr Lee to look into making “quick replacements” for the appointments she is holding.

    Damanhuri Abas: If There Is No By-Election In MYT GRC, The Malays Are Triple Short-Changed

    If there is no By-Election in MYT GRC, the Malays are triple short-changed.

    1. Our race used for EP reserved justification when in reality it don’t matter to us as we were never honestly asked for nor about it. It is all about preventing Dr TCB his last shot not about us lah (jangan shiok sendrik). We are used BIG time guys.

    2. End up now we probably will get a genetically bad-deal, you know what i mean. I know of someone who could have made it (the re-EP) at least all worth while (true blue Malay, my takraw buddy in campus, me NUS and he NTU, very good man) but it was not meant to be i guess.

    3. Race card evoked and the PAP got a 2 year free-Malay (minority) ride for a GRC with a substantial number of Malays in Marsiling. This proves once again this Minority representation thingey is but a convenient bogeyman wagged on command to serve political ends.

    Kudos to us the Malays. 52 years on. We got it made bro.

    Fortunately there is God and HIS justice!!! There ain’t No free ride up there bros. Patient i am and in God i put my trust and whose help i seek, for this country and the truly multi-racial people in it that we love and want to see.

    Happy National Day my fellow Singaporeans.

  • No By-Election If Mdm President Halimah Yacob (Minority MP) Leaves GRC, Explained Chan Chun Sing

    No By-Election If Mdm President Halimah Yacob (Minority MP) Leaves GRC, Explained Chan Chun Sing

    If a minority candidate leaves his group representation constituency (GRC), a by-election will not be called, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Chan Chun Sing said in February 2017.

    That was the response he gave to the opposition Workers’ Party’s Mr Pritam Singh (Aljunied GRC), who wanted to know what would happen if a minority member of a GRC were to step down to run for presidency.

    Mr Singh specifically used Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob as an example in his question.

    As most Singaporeans have known, Madam Halimah, the minority member of Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, has been tipped as a potential candidate for the upcoming election, which is reserved for Malays since months ago.

    Mr Chan said that when Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong explained the GRC system in Parliament decades back, he said its intent was to achieve two purposes:

    One, to ensure enough minority members in the House. This, Mr Chan said, had been achieved over the years.

    Two, to ensure no political campaign on issues of race and religion, “that we will all, regardless of party lines, campaign on the basis that we are all Singaporeans, that we will not use race, language or religion for political reasons”, Mr Chan said.

    Elected members are also expected to serve all residents, regardless of race, language and religion.

    These key goals would not be affected if one member of the GRC left, Mr Chan added.

  • Commentary: Halimah Yacob Has Abandoned And Betrayed Residents That Voted For Her In The First Place

    Commentary: Halimah Yacob Has Abandoned And Betrayed Residents That Voted For Her In The First Place

    She was voted by the residents living in Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, yet instead of serving the residents as she was voted in for the next 5 years, she abandoned the residents who had voted for her and choose to run in September’s Presidential Election. And wayang so much whether want to contest in the election, no way would I voted for this joker who abandons the residents and abandons her constituents and self-claim herself Malay while her father is an Indian.

    She betrays the residents who had voted for her in Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC and betray her own race. What would you expect if she was voted in, perhaps would be even worse than Tony Tan who has done nothing while being a president.

  • Leave Halimah Yacob’s Issue Aside And You Realise Singaporeans Are The Ones Taken For A Ride

    Leave Halimah Yacob’s Issue Aside And You Realise Singaporeans Are The Ones Taken For A Ride

    Halimah Yacob finally confirmed PAP’s scheme to install her as their choice of “Elected President” by announcing her intentions to run for the election yesterday .

    As early as February this year, the PAP had already unintentionally divulged its plan through Chan Chun Sing’s faux pas in Parliament during his speech on the revised EP.

    So why didn’t Halimah Yacob just come clean on this instead of pretending to be mull over whether to contest?

    The announcement was not even unexpected yet that did not stop many from rolling their eyes in bewilderment. Truely a “bittersweet” moment.

    Since everything has already been carefully planned for from the beginning, why still the need for her to wayang so much to the people?

    In the end, it is the government and the ministers who are ultimately taking us Singaporeans for a ride.
