"Whoever wins needs to hold the government accountable. If George Goh is unable to meet this standard, he should just step aside,” said Tan Tee Seng, socio-political commentator
“You can’t check on the government, because you know, the Prime Minister Office is an executive power, it’s like the brain. The President, to be bound by the Constitution, is like the heart. These work together.” These remarks have failed to land with some, who have perceived it as a lack of courage to stand up against the ruling party.
Mr Tan criticised Mr Goh’s assertion that citizens cannot check on the government and likened it to a controversial Facebook post by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s wife, Ho Ching, calling it asinine. Interestingly, Mdm Ho’s Facebook post was published a day before Mr Goh made his comments. Mr Tan pointed out that due to the PAP’s unchallenged dominance and limited avenues for feedback, Singapore’s Presidential Election has become an eagerly anticipated referendum for citizens. He noted that the past ex-politician presidents, Ong Teng Cheong and Tony Tan, were elected with marginal victories, which he interpreted as a clear indication that voters expect the president to hold the government accountable.
