Of August, candidates and f*cking doing it

It's August.

Singapore soon turns 46 and Singaporeans would get to cast their vote for a a president who plays a ceremonial role for 4 million dollars.

Else where in the world, a president who has handled at least 2 wars on his resume is now trying to steer his country out of recession. He earns S$507,400 (US$400,000).

Here on the little red dot, a presidential hopeful visits Batam to extend campaign efforts. Oh yes. Visit the little island where locals go for a weekend get away to wakeboard, massage, play golf and have... liaisons.

Another candidate, openly endorsed by the PAP is fending accusations on how he had perhaps allow his son to receive preferential treatment while serving national service.

Then NTUC steps forth to say that they have no decision yet to back any presidential candidate. The only met one candidate because "it had never invited him before, and its members were curious to know more about the man."

Let's see which other candidates would woo NTUC over. Today, another Tan has submitted his forms for presidential eligibility candidate.

After a general election high, this presidential election seems like a snooze fest. Turning 46 and non the wiser?

Thankfully, we've got a cool valedictorian who summarized astutely on she and her coursemates' academic path to bring some cheer into our local news coverage. Watch it here.

The day we achieve true political openess, we should all gather at Hong Lim Park to say, "We fucking did it!"
