Elected presidency, GRC, NCMP schemes have served Singapore well: SM Lee
Singapore's political system and long-term stability are much better served by the check and balance of an elected president, while the GRC scheme has protected and fostered multi-racial politics, says Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Singapore's political system and long-term stability have been greatly benefited by the elected presidency, Non-Constituency MP (NCMP) and Group Representation Constituency (GRC) schemes, according to Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong. He stated these institutions have proven effective over time and under successive governments. The elected presidency, introduced in 1991, was designed to maintain a stable, well-functioning political system, while the GRC scheme has protected and fostered multi-racial politics.
The NCMP scheme was originally conceived to prevent opposition voices from being entirely silenced in parliament.
