Alpha78 6th Gear June 15, 2011 Share June 15, 2011 Pledge my allegience to the President? That's too much to ask for a ceremonial position. Theoretically, the President is the head of state, and the head of the civil service administration. Theoretically, the Presidency forms one of the three pillars, where the Legislative and Judiciary form the other two, and all three are supposed to be independent. Theoretically, the President guards our reserves and has the power to veto the government if he deems the usage of the reserves as inappropriate. Theoretically...

Vulcann 6th Gear June 15, 2011 Author Share June 15, 2011 Pledge my allegience to the President? That's too much to ask for a ceremonial position. Precisely the same reaction after the powers that be who have recently pour cold water over the enthusiasm of some excited candidates declaring what they intend to do if got elected & this is because of what the constitition stated about the ceremonial role of the EP. What will happen if a rogue government takes over one unfortunate day & suddenly the SAF personnel who have been pledging their allegiance to the President & ROS all this while are urged instead to follow orders from them? Does the ROS represent the government of the day or us citizens? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KARTer 2nd Gear June 15, 2011 Share June 15, 2011 Frankly speaking.... my 2-1/2 year in SAF. never mention this pledge before as for president personal opinion is because president is head of state similar to king. As human beings like us, the presi can make mistakes, when this happens, are we going to support him blindly?? Maybe since he has no executive power, he cant really do harm to others / our nation, therefore he has no chance even to make mistake? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park88 1st Gear June 15, 2011 Share June 15, 2011 this is to ensure you know why we prataman 4 mil a year excluding any other type of bonuses rumors has it (strange that it has to be rumor) that he takes home about$7mil a year after all the bonuses anybody for president The SAF Pledge We, members of the Singapore Armed Forces, do solemnly and sincerely pledge that we will always bear true faith and allegiance to the President and the Republic of Singapore. We will always support and defend the Constitution. We will preserve and protect the honour and independence of our country with our lives. So says the SAF pledge which many of us have been saying throughout our NSF & reservist days. My question is why are we pledging our allegiance to the President? Is it because he is the head of state? What about the PM or the Defence Minister who is the head of MINDEF & of course SAF. And the allegiance to the Republic of Singapore is to her people or the government of the day? Other than comments from fellow MCFers bros & sis, any constitutional experts to comment?

Actually we didn't encounter any wild boars during BMT but heard that there were elephants there. Many stories circulating abt the island though...
