It is announced that it will participate in Many people are surprised.
President Halima decided not to run for re-election.Began to talk about who would be the presidential candidate in the system. The names of Shangdanman appeared many times, but in early June, the presidential election procedure was the first to announce the election before starting. The timing was still surprising.
In this environment with diverse opinions and views, there are only about 1,200 people in Singapore's city in line with the qualifications of the president.It is not easy for those who are sure, have high reputation, and generally acceptable to accept it. Shangdanman is a very few such people.
I am more concerned about whether this presidential election occurs, can it break the three myths of Singaporeans for Singaporean politics: first, minority races will not be elected in open elections; second, in the constitution, in the constitutionIt is a certain political power center to give the presidential power; third, the so -called "Singapore values" are instilled to us in order to consolidate the regime in order to consolidate the regime.
About the first myth, Shang Damman is the perfect goldstone.
He has been in politics for 22 years, and gradually formed a charm that is different from other political leaders, not the kind of "boss".= NOFOLLOW TARGET = _blank> As he said , he is not a striker or center on the hockey stadium. He is the central defender of conceived tactics.It will become a target and attack.In addition, when he is the Minister of Education and the Minister of Finance, the social fair policy that has been implemented has been recognized by the intellectual community. Each election has been elected from politics, and the number of votes in votes is one of the best. The 2020 election for the People's Action Party was quite severe.His leading Jurong settings also had 74.62%votes.
Although no one has explicitly stated that she is going to run, I believe that many people really hope that strong opponents can stand up, let us see how much racial factors account for how much the choice of Singaporeans.Even if Shangdan still wins, regardless of whether the competition is fierce or not, we can still observe racial factors throughout Singapore from the voting rate, not just the Jurong settings, have we diluted or even disappeared?
The formation ofThe formation of the second myth is the understanding and understanding of the definition of power specified in the Constitution.The Singapore Constitution stipulates that the president is the head of state. Whether the ruling party will continue to win the election, whether it encounters a strong or a vulnerable government, the president will not be the center of the political structure.
Three of the most practical power of the president are related to the state finance. One of them is the second key to keep the national reserve.EssenceThese areas are the most familiar in Shangdanman's public service career.
In this global environment in crisis, the national reserve or accumulation method may need to be adjusted. If there is a president who has a deep understanding of the state finance, how to establish a working relationship between the president and the government is a Singaporean.Both should be concerned.
From the Deputy Prime Minister to being the president, there were Singapore's fifth president Wang Dingchang and the seventh president Chen Qingyan. The two former presidents have different styles.In this era, what will he handle the relationship between different powers?
In addition, in terms of the political environment in Singapore, after the next or two elections, it is a big problem whether the ruling party can continue to form a cabinet. At that timeimportant.
The third point is about "Singapore values", which contacted Singapore's survival.We are in a area that is always turbulent. Whether it is because of the wrestling of the great power or the changes in regional countries, it has an impact on us. Our national education has made us know this reality that cannot be changed for a long time.
But there are more and more competitive forces in the world today, and the introduction of massive information can easily shake public opinion.Internally, political parties in society are active, and people are increasingly likely to believe in a leader of a political party politics. A head of state with independent thinking and united the people can clarify the national interests to the Singaporeans with their own judgment and courage to clarify the national interests to the Singaporeans., Can test the survival consensus of the Singaporeans to the country.
On the day of Shangdaman's announcement, the public opinion response was basically positive. Some people mocked the ruling party "afraid of losing", so they sacrificed the ace of Sandman.
From the presidential election campaign, this is indeed a very good strategy, but if you think about it, the ruling party is definitely not just the presidential election, but also the national election that can continue to be in power.If candidates from the system in the presidential election are elected, voters in the national election are more likely to give non -party candidate opportunities to diversify.
The next election must be held within two years.Decide whether to continue the leader or give it to Huang Xuncai to meet the exam.Although the ruling party also has Prime Minister Li, Zhang Zhixian State-owned government as a member of the state-owned asset administration and highly respected membersWithout Shangdanman's advantage of the People's Action Party, the People's Action Party should weaken the people's action party.
In other words, the fourth -generation political leaders must persuade the changing voters in their own strengths in the next national election.Therefore, even if the ruling party ’s intention has won the presidential election, the next battle may only be more difficult.If the presidential campaign lost, the loss of the ruling party would be even greater.
In general, Shangdan decided to participate in the presidential election very well. His strength is beyond doubt, but it is not a typical elite printed by a mold.To a high -quality presidential election, this will play a very important role in Singapore's political history.
