( September 0) HiGHLiGHts from AdjoURnment Motion by Sylvia Lim Counting from President Wee Kim Wee or President Ong Teng Cheong for ReseRVed PresidentiAL Election: PoliCY Decision or LeGAL Question? The government s handling of the Parliamentary debates on the legislative changes for a Reserved Presidential Election has been most unsatisfactory. Here we are, debating changes affecting the highest office in the land, yet the government decides to engage in ambiguous language and red herrings. We in this House should have been told in no uncertain terms that it was the government that wanted to start the count from President Wee. The government should have defended its own decision on why counting from President Wee was appropriate. It should not have evaded the debate by using the AGC s advice as a distraction, and then gone to court to say that the AGC s advice was irrelevant! ( October 0)
