The late Lee Kuan Yew take pains to set up the elected president before he left the PM office. His aim is to have a check on the future government using the reserves.
Today in "Today", Shanmugam says "S'poreans must decide...." What is he implying? Asking the citizen to repeal what Lee KW has done to protect the country? He was in the parliament when Lee KW proposed and passed the bill.Now after Goh CT handed over to Lee junior he is suggesting otherwise. Since he is a Minister, I belief he is speaking on behalf of the government. I must ask what his intention is. Is he considering the Constitutional Commission report already suggesting to have a separate "appointed body" to have the custodial role.
Raising the financial management threshold, Suggesting minority race President. Suggesting repealing of President power. Is the government going some direction?
Any effort to dilute or impede the President's custodial role is a sign of going against Lee KW's idea of protecting the country.
