TY President Mdm Halimah Yacob .... must have sung the national anthem a million times by now 😅 Welcome President Tharman, I am sure many important things to look into but I wonder if can we consider updating the bands repertoire? That is within the president's scope right? Or do we need approval from presidential advisors for that? 😁

Saran usul dari saya warga Indonesia, bendera yang dipegang jangan sampai menyentuh lantai atau tanah

[@ferdyholim5687]

Itu bukan bendera negara. Itu panji-panji kesatuan militer. Terlihat seperti bendera, tapi perhatikanlah, ada simbol kesatuan militer di bagian kanan bawah. Sesuai tradisi Inggris, panji-panji militer ditundukkan untuk menghormati kepala negara, menunjukkan supremasi kepala negara.

Singapore jaga melay biarpun kaum minoriti manakala melay di Malaysia hina bangsa dan agama lain

[@jry.....why.1605]

To be honest, i didn't know that Singapore have a president? This is because, prime minister always be in public.

[@PAPNOaccountability]

While it’s understandable that discussions of the Halimah Presidency might focus on issues of race, gender and meritocracy, I think that those are the side issues. In fact, this whole debate over Halimah’s ‘Malayness’ is a convenient distraction from the fundamental issues at stake.

[@michaellfh]

Would it make more sense if she ran in a Presidential Election reserved for members of our Indian community?

[@zack.111]

People should know that to register an IC, (a person’s race can be registered differently if he or she is of mixed parentage. For example, a child of Chinese and European descent can be registered as Chinese, European or Eurasian.) As such, it is not an issue, she is known as Malay as her mother is Malay.

[@jessiejames7492]

@@zack.111 maybe now but some yrs back, they only follow the fathers nationality. I am eurasian my husband is a foreign. My daughter though mixed is registered as her fathers nationality. I wrote to the authorities to change it but was given a firm NO. Seems like rules are rules then. Cannot bend.
