The role of Singapore's Elected President
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- When Singapore became an independent nation-state in 1965, the President carried out mainly ceremonial and community duties. The 1990 Constitutional Amendment enlarged the President’s powers to include a constitutional duty to safeguard national reserves and the integrity of the public service. Instead of being appointed by Parliament, the President was to be elected by popular vote. Today, the elected presidency is a 32-year-old institution and is still evolving.
The Role of Singapore’s Elected President offers a glimpse at the beginnings of the office of the elected presidency and tracks the legacy and defining moments of Singapore’s elected presidents.

Very well made video and very educational video.
Hearing Lee Kuan Yew at the start of the video gave me goosebumps, amazing man!
Education or Brainwashing? For Starters, how can ELECTED Head of STATE
be Only Symbolic & not hv Executive Powers ? 😂
Im listening from australia. Really enjoying what you have to say.cheers
We, the citizens of Singapore should be pro-Singapore, and not pro-party. Choose one that can help Singapore to shine!
vote NTUC, don't vote for people with ties to US banking elite that will sellout to US interest. US didn't honor the TPP and we got nothing, yet we still change our law to allow US to govern our IP. that is selling out the country. we need to regain our neutrality and power to make our own law and standard. and if we have to adopt a standard, we should go with the european to avoid becoming a pawn in the US-China contention. if we go with US, Malaysia go with China, the one that lose out will be Singapore. we cannot allow Malaysia to position itself as an alternative to Singapore. I hope people realise the bigger picture in the world.
Roles of President DOES NOT include posting "Pretty Girls" on social media!
You call that pretty ? No wonder so many mistress in PAP
I rather have a President that talk about pretty girl than a president who dine with child rapist...
ong teng cheong was the best president, sadly he didn't get the funeral and sent off by the country when he did the most for us
Very well made video and very educational video.
Hearing Lee Kuan Yew at the start of the video gave me goosebumps, amazing man!
From my understanding, it was his family who refused a state funeral.
5:01, we need to see this Presidential debate and air publicly before the Presidential election by Singapore citizens
Among the President's of Singapore, I truly respect Mr Ong Teng Chong. He shines as star in many Heart 💜❤️💜❤️💜 .
ong teng cheong easily the best president still
Who say former PAP minister cannot be a good president and protect our interests of our national reserve?

It could be seen that President Ong could have contributed more to Singapore as a minister with executive powers. This video serves as a good reminder to us all.
let be honest, they will never let Ong be minister. this is why we have to capture the presidency. something is better than nothing. President Ong understand this, the question is do the people of Singapore understand it.
Very well made video and very educational video.
Hearing Lee Kuan Yew at the start of the video gave me goosebumps, amazing man!❤❤
i still feel ong teng cheong and SR nathan done the most for singapore
As the 1st elected President of Singapore, Mr. Ong truely work hard and tried to do his job, but i feel he's not satisfied on working with government and get what he want to his expectation
thats why someone not happy with him n from there on u know what happened like now

Very well made video and very educational video.

Thank you Mdm. President for your work during the difficult time of Covid-19.
Your contributions will forever be honoured in Singapore’s history.
Hormat Mdm. President Halimah Yacob, President wanita pertama Singapura.
Pertama tu
Yes I'm sure Singaporeans are all very proud of her helping to promote MILO and to proclaim that Fish is actually cheaper than Chicken. :)
That is why Singapore is prosperous
OTC was still the best. My parents sing praises about him when I was young till now.
vote NTUC again.
Yeah, President Ong knew exactly what it really means to be "grassroots", not from any other level, but the down-to-earth "grassroots" level. Which means his relationship with them was one of genuine empathy, not "put-on" condescension.
Very well made video and very educational video.
Hearing Lee Kuan Yew at the start of the video gave me goosebumps, amazing man!
I from the minority community and the citizen of Singapore i respect Mr Ong Teng Chong who served as President.
Ong Teng Cheong was the best president & he had done a lot for Singapore. 😢 He passed away many years ago from cancer. 😢
38:08 Fondly remembering President Ong Teng Cheong and the First Lady. ❤😊
One of the role of a Singapore President must be to help promote MILO. :)
To the best of my memory, wee kim wee and ong teng cheong are the best so far. The people need a people president!
I believe SR Nathan deserves to be mentioned in that same breath too, his work as a diplomat was unparalleled.
MR ONG TENG CHEONG forced his idea of building MRT even tho other govt ministers object 😊
Mr Lee kuan yew in 1975 ND speech already spoke of this. He said ‘we will have a better bus system and even a high speed rail. He always thought years ahead
OTC didn't force, being a city planner, he recommended the MRT system to solve our transport problems.
President Ong looks so presidential. ❤❤
We the world ppl must learn the inclusiveness, government efficiency from Singapore…
Ong Teng Cheong was our elected President why was his death not honoured so?
Cos he went against the PAP...
We, the citizens of Singapore will always honour him, despite what the PAP govt had done.
Waduh, kursus online mentor Roy Shakti mahal banget sampai puluhan juta. Emang dia artis sih. Tapi buat anak kuliahan kayak gue ya rasanya berat harus ngeluarin duit segitu. Apalagi dengernya banyak yang berutang buat ikutan kursus idola Roy Shakti. Menurut gue sih, harga mahal belum tentu kualitas bagus. Masih banyak kok mentor bagus tapi harga terjangkau. Daripada hutang mending cari yang sesuai budget aja. Ilmu bisnis kan bisa dipelajari dari mana aja, gak harus sama idola Roy Shakti.
Respect
I think pap has this mindset that only they are angels and will never squander the reserves. Hence, they are curtailing the power of the presidency. If one day, the pap turns bad, is the sitting president ready and strong enough to stop the bad pap government? That's my concern
Why don't you concern u will turn bad before they turn bad
@@fromis.9it's a valid concern,why you so triggered?
In all fairness, if PAP thought that they will forever be the best guardian of the reserve, why bother to pass the constitution to have elected president?!
@@muhammadridzwan5909 and Singaporean turning bad is also a concern, so why so triggered

I would rather the present govt put right our present woes at home. Ask the common man in the street. There must be conversations with the common people. Do you see them doing that? Only once every xxxxxxx yrs or so. Go around, shakes hands, talk, then thats it! President here has no powers on his own. . Face it. They have to listen to the Presidential council.
If ong teng cheong was the first elected president, then why is the last election a reserved election?
To maintain multiracialism in the presidency. As mentioned in the documentary, the last Malay president before Halimah, is in 1965. See 33:40, Prof Tommy Koh talked about this.
14:05 got briefly state about it... Good lo. Every race gets to be President... No one left out.
@@knock-knockwhosthere9933 why playing the race game? PM race shd not be like this. Yet PAP says its not ready to give us a non chinese ! Against our national pledge, constitution !
@@jessiejames7492 ... Deep down inside they realised the minorities cannot be isolated for too long. So they made the amendment to the Constitution that allows Halimah to win in an uncontested election the following year. She was also PAP member. Where got race game... More like win-win... She's also the first woman President.

20:34, this man is more suited to be the Prime Minister judging by his real world experience in ministry, leadership, forward thinking, unparalleled ability to understand nuance of both domestic and international policy, and remarkable global accolades exhibited during his tenure as the chairman of the IMF (Not Impossible Mission Force hor) in navigating complex financial landscapes.
NB: I am not PAPies supporter hor 😂
yes but he probably know himself PM is a sai kang role thats why he openly said it upfront he dont want to be PM. President on the other hand is more relaxed, as SR Nathan said in the video the role of the president is not to micromanage the government, the government is the one to come up with the solutions not him lol
No motivation to vote. Wasting my time. None of them are my ideal candidates other than George Goh. Who think the same too?

14:35 How is Halimah eligible to contest for presidency? She is ethnically Indian and neither a past minister nor a Chairman/CEO of a company with at least $500 million in share. This always baffles me.
She was a former mp and speaker of parliament
Why Tan Cheng Bock didn't come to apply for presidential election this year?
Why don't you ask him directly?!😝
@@鲁焚化炉 Don't be dumb! if i know him I would ask him already! what a stupid question you asking!
He doesn’t qualify. He has never managed any large organization before.
If we correct, TCB is ineligible because by constitution president has to be nonpartisan (cannot be affiliated to a political party; he was PSP at the time, so wait for #ge2025)
@@FriendshipFeed yes, but he also didn’t bother trying because he won’t qualify even if he quit PSP.
Im a millenial who is voting for my president for the first time this year (because last election was a RESERVED election with a walkover).
When I was old enough to understand a little bit of politics back in primary sch, I rmb my parents telling me about the diff impt statesmen (alr knew about LKY and GCT from social studies), and they mentioned how OTC was our first elected president but he was disrespected by the PAP when he was just trying to do his job for SGeans (without a state funeral somemore, how petty and dirty can they play?) Fast forward 10+ years to 2017 PE, i was so ready to vote for TCB (like many others) because he missed out by only a few thousands votes to then PAP-backed Mr Tony Tan in 2011 and I truly felt TCB was the better candidate. I think the sentiments on the ground was TCB gonna win 2017 PE no doubt, and PAP KNEW.
Then what happened? A sudden increase of 100 to 500 million equity. Not only that, the sudden intro of reserved election for the Malays. On one hand, PAP tells us we are not ready for a non Chinese PM. On other hand, they suddenly play the race card for our presidency. Truly feels like a slap on all Singaporeans' faces and treating us like citizens who arent educated and discerning of what is good or not good for us. At the end of the day, it's a game called Democracy where PAP makes the rules, and we gotta follow.
vote NTUC.
CPA should be elected as well not appointed to be truely a check and balance.
I like president Ong with the integrity image projected since I am young.
What’s the point of allowing the president to veto if parliament can still overrule the president ?
Overriding a veto would require a super-majority, not a simple majority.

the role is to having higher salary than the previous and retired after 6years.
Roy Shakti dengan semena-mena menarik biaya mahal dari kantong masyarakat untuk kursusnya, namun kualitas kursusnya sendiri jauh dari harapan. Materi yang diajarkan sangat dangkal dan tidak memberikan keterampilan nyata yang bisa meningkatkan kompetensi siswa. Justru di tengah kursus, Roy Shakti berkali-kali memasarkan kursus keuangan lanjutan dengan membuat janji-janji muluk soal keuntungan besar, tanpa bukti yang jelas.
There are definitely some important and relevant questions to ask about the state of the presidential office in Singapore. How do Singaporeans, in general, regard the office and its current functions? Do they see healthy vitality and vibrancy in the presidency and its functions - relevant, and in keeping with the changing needs and aspirations of the nation? Or is it just a stale, perfunctory office of diplomatic traditions and ceremonial niceties? As Singapore progresses, should the office of the President evolve with it? If so, how? If not, why not? These are the questions not just for the politicians to decide. They are for the ordinary folks - the grassroots - to decide too. So, how to go about it? Any ideas... from any quarters? Maybe the current presidential hopefuls can show their originality to throw some light on this subject too...
our president should be our chief diplomat. the way other country treat a head of state and how they treat a career diplomat is different. the president should not be someone we lock up in a cage, but someone who meet with as many foreign leader as possible both in singapore as host and overseas as guest. so send a message that singaporean want to have better ties with our neighbours and other countries of importance. such as a tour of the middleeast as middleeast realigns in a post-america world, we should convince them to invest more in Singapore. there is alot that can be done without being involve in direct politic, just the goodwill and PR value of the president can be a positive.
For yrs we were led to believe the president is a puppet ruler.
Very well made video and very educational video.
Hearing Lee Kuan Yew at the start of the video gave me goosebumps, amazing man!
Yang paling mengejutkan dan patut dipertanyakan, Roy Shakti terang-terangan menggunakan kursus yang bermasalah ini sebagai alat pemasaran produk dan kursus keuangan lanjutan yang dia klaim sangat menguntungkan. Roy Shakti memanfaatkan posisinya sebagai pengajar untuk memasarkan produk keuangan kepada para siswanya. Ini adalah skema penipuan besar-besaran yang memanfaatkan kepercayaan dan wibawa Roy Shakti sebagai pendidik di mata masyarakat.
until now i dunno whether Hamilah is indian or malay. amazing she could switched races and qualify for the reserve presidency meant for malays, when she is classified as an indian according to The Straits Times, and her father being an indian
Saya sebagai bagian dari masyarakat Indonesia merasa perlu untuk menegaskan pelaporan terhadap berbagai pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh Roy Shakti dalam penyelenggaraan kursusnya, yang sangat merugikan masyarakat umum.
Mr. Ong Teng Cheong💕
Nice to know this,🙂
I hope the next president will initiate an independent covid inquiry.
Guys sorry i wanna know is Singapore Prime Mister is the highest rather than the President?
The prime minister is the head of government. The president is the head of state.
Mądrze rządzony przesmyk i dlatego musi istnieć w obecnym kształcie wiecznie. Wszyscy jesteśmy obrońcami Singapuru.
Just do away the PE. It's a risk if rich men want to play politics and be king. With wealth, the rich can stand for PE and be even richer if elected as president. This risk of Singapore falling into president vs government conflict is real and should be avoided. Appoint an experienced minister to be president. No more PE
I don’t know why they haven’t changed the title of PM to PAP-M seriously
Kursus Roy Shakti tidak memberikan keterampilan atau pengetahuan yang saya harapkan. Dengan biaya yang begitu tinggi, saya mengharapkan lebih banyak.
I am looking forward to voting in the presidential election next month, let’s vote wisely. 😊👍
Roy Shakti tampaknya lebih tertarik pada uang daripada pendidikan. Harga kursusnya sangat tinggi, dan saya tidak merasa mendapatkan nilai yang sesuai.

President Elect is directly elected by Singaporeans while PM is not.
President Elect has Singaporeans direct mandate, while PM does not.
President Elect should hv equal or more functional n responsibility as PM
Singapore inherited the Westminster system whereby the Head of State is non-executive by design. This was born out of the desire to move away from absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy in Britain.
This is best understood when put in contrast to the US whose answer to absolute monarchy was to have a republic with an executive president, meaning you have a non-hereditary Head of State and Head of Government who by definition has to be of the people, by the people and for the people. So how do you ensure the Government doesn't have too much powers? You separate 'the Government' it into three branches where the President leads an executive branch that cannot similtaneously be part of the legislative branch, meaning to say that a cabinet member cannot be a member of either house of Congress. Thus, cabinet members by design are not elected, but merely appointed by the President who is an executive Head of State elected by the people (and later requiring confirmation by the legislative branch).
In the UK? How do you retain the monarchy but ensure the Government doesn't have too much power? You separate the roles of the Head of State with the Head of Government. This means executive power is vested in the Head of State but *exercised* by the Head of Government. So 'the Government' in this case acts on behalf of the Head of State who is the symbol of the country in one person. Hence, the evolution of the terms 'minister' (servant) and 'His Majesty's Government' in the UK. But how do you ensure that the Government acting on behalf of the Head of State has legitimacy? You make them directly elected and accountable to Parliament. Since the Head of State is non-executive, the Government acting on their behalf and advising them by design has to be elected to hold them to account and give them legitimacy, and hence the person who can command the confidence of the majority in Parliament is the Prime Minister.
In Singapore's case, it could've stopped there. But being a small state with no upper house of Parliament, the Government decided to fortify the Institution of the President instead by giving it 'custodial powers' on top the usual 'ceremonial powers' accorded in the Constitution. This means that the President is still non-executive, but with a custodial role added on top of that. So the President has got to have the 'moral authority' to say no to the Government if it wishes to unlock a door that requires the President's second key. So if the President is not elected the Government can counter any objection by saying they have the mandate. So that is the basis in which the President has to be directly elected by the people instead of just being indirectly elected by Parliament.
To have equal or more responsibilities as the Prime Minister is to make the President an executive Head of State. That would mean having the Prime Minister being a member of Parliament directly elected by the people while also commanding the majority of members in Parliament is redundant, which was there in the first place because you want to have a legitimate Government acting on behalf and advising a non-executive Head of State.
What you are suggesting by design is closer to the US system. And just look at them, Presidents has to be part of the mudslinging in politics, whereas Heads of State in the Wesminster System are above politics by design. If something goes wrong, it is the fault of the Minister who was acting on behalf of the Head of State, and not the Head of State themselves. The roles of the President including the lack of executive roles by the President is a feature, not a bug. You will only appreciate this feature of the President being above politics when you have a volatile politicial situation like in Malaysia where that stabilising force is crucial in determining the destiny of a country.
@Bryan-dr5qy Singapore system is a partial, cherries picking inherited system. To compare a complete n incompetent system is absurb n ridiculous. Singapore system should continue to evolves n make improvements n changes.
IN DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM, IT IS THE POWER OF PEOPLE'S MANDATE THAT GIVE THE POWER TO THE COUNTRY ADMINISTRATOR N EXECUTOR. WHO HAS FULL PEOPLE MANDATE SHOULD HV THE MOST VOICE N SUPPORT OF PEOPLE TO RUN THE COUNTRY.
@Bryan-dr5qy For this case, its clearly President Elect , directly elected by people should hv the ultimate mandate at least equal to a PM that is not directly voted into office by people.
@@deschan2246 It's axiomatic really
1. Since we already have an executive Prime Minister, do you still want a President?
2. Do you want the President to have a check in key areas as a custodian?
3. Do you think the President should be directly elected?
The fact that the President is directly elected is to give him moral authority to veto the Government *in the key areas where he has a custodial power over* . It is not to make him an executive presideny that frequently has constitutional deadlocks like in the US.
If you want someone to oppose the Government on policy the burden is on the Opposition as the Government in waiting to get the mandate from the people.
Elections are a process of getting the moral authority through an electoral mandate to exercise the specific functions defined by the Constitution for that particular office. For the Government it is to exercise the executive authority vested in the President. For the President it is to exercise authority in a ceremonial, constitutional and custodial capacity, not an executive one. If you disagree that the Government should operate outside its constitutional boundaries, then the President is no different. But if from the onset you disagree with the premises, then ultimately you are advocacting for a compeltely different system instead of finetuning the existing system.
@@Bryan-dr5qywestminster is an imperialist system, we don't need to still follow the idea of our colonizers. since we have no monarchy, it is irrational to keep such a system. the president serve as the head of state and so has huge diplomatic value, how other country see a minister visit and how they see a president visit is different, we should better use our president to gain goodwill and PR from other countries. to push the presidency to the backseat undermine the visibility of our countries. no matter how power the PM is, he is still not the head of state and will always be 2nd tier in protocol.
What is a freak elections ? Pap out ?
Ah Lian n Kosong both of you better watch you and bull hit about what you would do totally out of this world.
The role of Singapore's Elected President is to obey the Prime Minister.
Singapore president should became the military head too
just look at the outgoing one - oh yah it is a role played. hahaha.
A redundant role that needs to be abolished, a total waste of millions of taxpayers' dollars and resources.
Look at how other countries with weak check and balance, they easily fall into coup d etat and dictatorship.
