    Ikmal: “You can run but you cant hide my friend. Your mother sure cannot recognize you after this.”

    Not really sure what transpired before this incident. A video footage of the man sprayed was posted online and Ikmal suggest that people beat up the guy first if they saw him before calling the police afterwards.

    Ikmal: “Okay kawan kawan we have one monkey here. Around my block 272 jurong west st 24 kalau jumpa pukul dulu baru call police. Thanks kasi share ni monyet.”

  • Salleh Marican: I Am Disappointed That The PEC Committee Did Not See Me Fit

    Salleh Marican: I Am Disappointed That The PEC Committee Did Not See Me Fit

    Mainstream media CNA stated that the reason Second Chance CEO Salleh Marican did not qualify as his firm was “considerably below” the S$500 million shareholders’ equity required. But how many people, even other races, would have qualified in handling over $500 million equity?

    Did PAP do their homework thoroughly when they set that 500mil asset requirements to ensure that no “Malay” can match it? Meanwhile, Halimah has managed $0. Look at the loophole PAP has left for itself. Helping your mother to sell nasi lemak in your younger days do not provide you with expertise in handling over $500 million equity.

    Singaporeans don’t even comprehend why the need to be qualified in handling huge amount of money is a requirement in serving Singapore as President. If you got heart and passion, you should be eligible. Then for the next election, can we suggest that only people like Jack Ma or Peter Lim are eligible because they will raise the ceiling to a billion and hit PAP’s criteria?

    Shortly after the announcement by PEC, Salleh gave the following statement on his FB profile.

    “I am disappointed that the committee did not see it fit to give me the go-head to take part in the Presidential Election.

    But this doesn’t mean my work to help my fellow citizens comes to an end. My team and I will regroup to see how the effort to help our disadvantaged sisters and brothers can go forward.

    Since I threw my hat into ring months ago, I have realized there is an urgent need to help my fellow citizens. And I pledge to do exactly that.

    To my family, friends, business associates and well wishers who had stood by me in my decision to become the President of Singapore I say: The fight to serve Singapore is not over. We will regroup and put our plans into action soon.”

  • SDP On EP Walkover: PAP’s Contempt For Our Constitution And Our Flag Must Be Roundly Condemned

    SDP On EP Walkover: PAP’s Contempt For Our Constitution And Our Flag Must Be Roundly Condemned

    Singapore Democrats

    The walkover of the Presidential Election comes as no surprise. The PAP had changed the rules and revised the criteria of the Elected Presidency to pave the way for Ms Halimah Yacob to assume the office.

    Nevertheless, this is a sad day for Singapore. The rule of law has been mercilessly mocked and denigrated. The contempt the PAP has shown for our constitution and our flag which symbolises the ideals of democracy, unity and progress must be roundly condemned.

    By doing what it has done, the PAP has shown yet again that its only goal is to strengthen its grip on power. That the goal is detrimental to the interests and progress of Singapore is of secondary concern to the party.

    It is bad enough that the PAP has manipulated the system to get one if its own to become the president. That it has dangerously played the race card and divided the people to achieve this must be of grave concern to all Singaporeans.

    The SDP protests this outcome in the strongest manner possible.

  • Halimah Yacob Who Is The Only Eligible PE Candidate Sparks #NotMyPresident Hashtag Across Singapore

    Halimah Yacob Who Is The Only Eligible PE Candidate Sparks #NotMyPresident Hashtag Across Singapore

    Barely minutes after former Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob was confirmed on Monday (11 September) as the only eligible candidate for this year’s Presidential Election (PE), a number of Singaporeans began using the hashtag #notmypresident in their social media posts.

    The use of the hashtag has continued to gather momentum in the past few hours, with Singaporeans expressing dissatisfaction that there would be a walkover for the PE. Polling Day for the PE, which is reserved for Malay candidates, has been set for 23 September but is unlikely to take place.

    For example on Twitter a user tweeted, “come on. only Halimah received the eligibility certificate. did you guys have to make it THAT obvious? #NOTMYPRESIDENT”. Others came up with different hashtag to show their displeasure such as #rejectPE201, #reservedforPAP and #MadamKelongPresident but the most popular remains with the #notmypresident hashtag.

  • Commentary: In A Perverse Way, The Outcome Was A ‘Fitting Finale’ To The Reserved PE2017

    Commentary: In A Perverse Way, The Outcome Was A ‘Fitting Finale’ To The Reserved PE2017

    In a perverse way, the outcome of the first Reserved Presidency, a non-event, was a fitting finale to the reserved presidential election (which has now become a non-election).

    How so?

    * The Malay community never asked for a Malay president, and now we have one. I wonder how many in the community will be jubilant.

    * A confirmation that meritocracy is not sacrosanct, and it can be disapplied selectively. We wonder when the next disapplication will be.

    * An affirmation of the perception that Malays need a crutch and will only “succeed” upon affirmative action.

    * The question that is begged to be answered is why the Community had failed to come up with a qualified candidate for the Presidency (other than Mdm Halimah)? Has the bar been set too high that it excludes others who would be willing and able to be President? Or is the community not good enough?

    * Singaporeans generally will not be pleased. Apart from the fact that other non-Malay communities have been denied the opportunity to field candidates, Singaporeans too have been denied the opportunity to cast votes, the most basic form of democracy.

    * Mdm Halimah can’t be too pleased. She would have won a presidential election which was open. She would have won a presidential election that was reserved. But she has been denied that opportunity to have the electorate’s mandate.
