NETIZENS START PETITION DEMANDING PAP GOVT TO RECOGNISE ONG TENG CHEONG AS S'PORES FIRST ELECTED PRESIDENT



This is a call for the Government of Singapore, led by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, to not disregard and disrespect Mr Ong Teng Cheong as our nation’s first Elected President.

This call is made in light of remarks made in Parliament by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Mr Chan Chun Sing, on 6 February 2017.

Mr Chan, in responding to a question from the Workers’ Party Member of Parliament for Aljunied GRC, Ms Sylvia Lim, said that “President Wee Kim Wee was the first president to exercise the powers under the new Elected Presidency act”, and thus Mr Wee was Singapore’s first Elected President.

Mr Chan said that the Government was advised on this by the Attorney General.

Mr Wee is the fourth of Singapore’s seven presidents.

We contend that the Attorney General is wrong in advising the Government that Mr Wee was our country’s first Elected President simply because Mr Wee had exercised the powers under the Elected President scheme; and we ask that the honour be rightly bestowed on Mr Ong Teng Cheong instead.

We present the following reasons for this call.

- Mr Wee, who held the post of president with distinction and honour, was nonetheless unelected, a fundamental requirement of our Constitution. He did not present himself to the people of Singapore as a candidate. Instead, Mr Wee was appointed by then Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew.

- No other candidate was able to present himself as a challenge to Mr Wee and to let the people of Singapore choose or make their choice in a democratic and open election.

- Mr Ong had relinquished his position as a minister in the Government, resigned his post from the People’s Action Party (PAP), before offering himself as a candidate for the Elected Presidency.

- Mr Ong faced an opponent in Mr Chua Kim Yeow, a former Accountant General, in an open and democratic presidential election in 1993. Mr Ong won the popular vote and became our 5th President, and our First Elected President.

Also, we note that through the last 24 years since Mr Ong became Singapore’s 5th President, numerous media reports and articles have cited and recognised him as our first Elected President.

But the highest recognition of Mr Ong as Singapore’s first Elected President came from our former Prime Minister, Goh Chok Tong, himself.

In his condolence letter to Mr Ong’s family when Mr Ong passed away in 2002, Mr Goh wrote:

“As the first elected President, Teng Cheong had to work the two-key system…”

Mr Goh is, of course, correct and right in recognising Mr Ong and affirming the fact that Mr Ong was indeed Singapore’s first Elected President.


So was our founding Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, who had initiated the idea for an Elected President as far back as 1985.

Mr Lee had said then “that Singapore might have its first elected President at the end of Mr Wee’s four-year term or, perhaps, earlier.”

Mr Ong’s status is also recognised by curators of our nation’s history.

The website of the National Library Board (NLB) also affirms this fact, with this title on its “History SG” page on Mr Ong:

“ONG TENG CHEONG IS THE FIRST ELECTED PRESIDENT OF SINGAPORE”.

Please see here: http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/history/events/a99d13...

The basis for anyone being recognised as an Elected President is two-fold:

1. He must offer himself as a candidate in a presidential election, so that the people of Singapore have a choice to express their wish. This is at the very heart of a democratic election, whether parliamentary or presidential. This is an unequivocal stipulation in Article 17(2) of the Constitution.

NewFuture

2. Even if it turns out that there is no actual contest because of a lack of opponents, the candidate would still be recognised as the winner because he had actually stepped forward and put himself up as a candidate for the people to choose.

The Elected President scheme was introduced so that the candidate and eventual president would have to go through an open election to get the people’s endorsement. And this was required for one very important reason:

The Elected President must have the moral authority to act on behalf of the people in being a check on the government of the day. And he can only have such moral authority if he has the assent of the people who bestow such powers on him through the vote.

With all due respect to Mr Wee, he did not offer himself as a candidate in an open election. This is not his fault as the scheme was introduced halfway through his term.

Nevertheless, it would not be right to recognise him as our first Elected President.

Professor of Law, Jack Lee, of the Singapore Management University, wrote on the Singapore Law website in 2016 that while Mr Wee was the first to exercise the powers of the Elected President scheme, “[the] provision [in the law] was carefully worded to avoid deeming Wee Kim Wee as having been elected, so although he exercised all the discretionary powers of an elected President, the first truly elected President was Ong Teng Cheong.”

It is quite clear that Mr Ong, who fulfils all the necessary and important requirements of the Elected President scheme as stated in the Constitution, should be recognised as SINGAPORE’S FIRST ELECTED PRESIDENT.

We must not do him a dishonour by brushing off his contribution with a simple stroke of the pen without any substantive, rational explanation.

Mr Ong gave his whole life to public service, first as a Member of Parliament, later as minister and deputy prime minister, and finally as president.

To now dismiss him as Singapore’s first Elected President is to dishonour him, and to dishonour Singaporeans who still hold him in the highest regard.

It is also an attempt to re-write our history.

We thus call on the Singapore Government to respect history and to respect Mr Ong, and to recognise him as our first Elected President.

NETIZENS开始诉讼请求代表认可ONG TENG CHEONG作为S'PORES第一选举主席



这是呼吁由李显龙总理领导的新加坡政府不要忽视和不尊重翁藤昌先生为我国第一任当选总统。

这一呼吁是根据总理办公室（PMO）部长陈春星先生在2017年2月6日在议会发表的讲话。

陈先生在回应阿鲁尼GRC议会工人党议员提出的问题时说：「金总会长是第一位行使新当选总统职权下的主席」， Wee是新加坡第一位当选总统。

陈先生表示，律政司已就此事向政府提供意见。

Wee先生是新加坡七位总统中的第四位。

我们认为律政司错误地向政府提供意见，认为Wee先生是我国第一位当选总统，因为韦先生已行使当选总统制下的权力;我们要求将这项荣誉正确地授予Ong Teng Cheong先生。

我们提出这个电话的以下原因。

- 担任总统职位的Wee先生是有区别和荣誉的，但仍然没有当选，这是我们宪法的一项基本要求。他没有向新加坡人民作为候选人。相反，魏先生是当时的总理李光耀任命的。

- 没有其他候选人能够表示自己是对韦先生的挑战，让新加坡人民在民主和公开的选举中选择或作出选择。

-  Ong先生已放弃他作为政府部长的职位，在人民行动党（PAP）中辞职，然后成为当选总统的候选人。

-  Ong先生在1993年的一次公开和民主的总统选举中，在前会计总裁Chua Kim Yeow先生面对一个对手。Ong赢得了人民投票，成为我们的第五任总统和我们第一任当选总统。

此外，我们注意到，在Ong成为新加坡第五任总统以来的最后24年里，许多媒体报道和文章都引用并承认他是我们的第一位当选总统。

但Ong先生作为新加坡第一任当选总统的最高承认来自我们的前总理吴作栋本人。

吴先生2002年去世时，在致Ong先生的家人的慰问信中写道：

“作为第一任当选总统，腾昌不得不工作的双键系统...”

吴先生当然是正确和正确地承认翁先生，并确认翁先生确实是新加坡的第一位当选总统。


我们的创始总理李光耀也在1985年提出了当选总统的想法。

当时李先生说“新加坡可能在韦先生的四年任期结束时，或者也许更早的时候，首次当选总统。

Ong先生的地位也受到我们国家历史的策展人的承认。

国家图书馆委员会（NLB）的网站也肯定了这个事实，在Ong先生的“历史SG”页上有这个标题：

“ONG TENG CHEONG是新加坡第一任主席”。

请参阅：http：//eresources.nlb.gov.sg/history/events/a99d13 ...

任何人被承认为当选总统的基础是双重的：

1.他必须在总统选举中作为候选人，让新加坡人民有选择表达他们的愿望。这是民主选举的核心，无论是议会还是总统。这是“宪法”第17（2）条中明确规定的。

NewFuture

即使事实证明，由于没有对手，没有实际的竞争，候选人仍然会被认可为赢家，因为他实际上向前走，并把自己作为人民的选择候选人。

当选总统计划的推出，使候选人和最终总统将必须经过公开选举得到人民的支持。这是必需的一个很重要的原因：

当选总统必须有道德权威代表人民作为当天政府的支票。只有拥有通过投票赋予他权力的人的同意，他才能有这样的道德权威。

我非常尊重魏先生，他没有在公开选举中提供自己作为候选人。这不是他的错，因为该计划是在他的任期中途引入的。

然而，承认他为我们的第一任当选总统是不正确的。

新加坡管理大学法学教授李杰在2016年的新加坡法律网站上写道，虽然魏先生是第一个行使当选总统计划的权力，“[法律]措辞是为了避免认为魏金伟被选举产生，所以尽管他行使了当选总统的所有酌处权，但第一位真正当选的总统是王振昌。

很明显，Ong先生应该被承认为新加坡第一任主席，他履行了“宪法”规定的当选总统制度的所有必要和重要的要求。

我们不能用一笔简单的笔笔划刷他的贡献，而不作任何实质性的，理性的解释。

Ong先生作为国会议员，后来担任部长和副总理，最后担任总统，他的一生都服务于公共服务。

现在解雇他，因为新加坡的第一位当选总统是羞辱他，并且拒绝仍然坚持他的新加坡人。

这也是试图重写我们的历史。

因此，我们呼吁新加坡政府尊重历史，尊重翁先生，并承认他是我们的第一位当选总统。

在偶印象中，
老王素第一任。。。

PAP IS REWRITING HISTORY BY DENYING ONG TENG CHEONG AS OUR 1ST ELECTED PRESIDENT


I'm surprised no one - except Sylvia Lim - is concerned that the Government has disregarded Ong Teng Cheong as our nation's first Elected President. It has instead strangely bestowed Wee Kim Wee with that honour.

By doing this, the govt has changed our history, and subverted the very basis of the Elected President scheme: to have the president go through an actual election so that he will have the moral authority to carry out his duty as a check on the govt, on behalf of the people of Singapore.

Article 17(2) of our Constitution states clearly:

"The President shall be elected by the citizens of Singapore in accordance with any law made by the Legislature."

President Wee never went through an actual election. President Ong did and was the first president to do so. Am I missing something or is this a non-issue?

PAP作为我们第一选定主席的DENYING ONG TENG CHEONG


我很惊讶没有人 - 除了Sylvia Lim以外，担心政府不会将Ong Teng Cheong当作我们国家的第一位当选总统。它以奇怪的方式给了Wee Kim Wee这个荣誉。

通过这样做，政府已经改变了我们的历史，颠覆了当选总统计划的基础：让总统经历一次实际选举，使他有道德权威履行其职责，作为政府的支票，代表新加坡人民。

我国宪法第17（2）条明确规定：

“总统由新加坡公民根据立法机构制定的任何法律选举产生。

韦总统从来没有经过过实际的选举。 Ong总统做了并且是第一位总统这样做。我缺少的东西或者这是一个非问题？
