I just read in Business Times yesterday that the President of Singapore was paid $2.37 Million last year. Holy cow. I'd love a job like that. Just shaking hands and kissing babies.
When I told my Mom that I should be allowed to run for election, she said "Are you mad?" I replied, "No, I'm furious!" :)
Aside from the fact that I don't meet the technical requirements (sigh), I think I'm eminently qualified.
1. I'm sociable and friendly (good to have in a President)
2. I'm not the proud look-down-my-nose-at-everyone-else type, I treat everyone equally politely.
3. I don't look like Quasimodo (no blowing of horns here)
4. I'm a good and responsible person (I know that sounds lame, but it's an important point)
I could probably think of a few more plus-points, but it would just be an academic exercise in futility. If I could ever qualify to run, I'd be running against a thousand other hopefuls. That would hugely dilute the votes of opposition. No, to stand a chance, there must only be one challenger. I just wish someone really worthy would step forward, someone like Rockson. :)
