Well, President Nathan finally came forward to explain his rationale for releasing the funds and all but I'm a tat too lazy to write in to praise him for it so I'll just do so on my blog...hehe..
Well, they gave him an entire front page plus centre portion of the Straits Times paper that day. An interview to clarify points and such, not a bad read although I would have preferred more details (it seemed rather general) as to how he came to a conclusion. I would also have preferred to see more private sector CEOs seating on the Council of Presidential Advisors so that President Nathan would be able to get a clearer picture of what's happening in Singapore. Doesn't hurt to have more qualified advisors yeah? After all, the nature of the presidency is not well-disposed to giving out governmental favours (apart from official pardons for parole prisoners), especially not to businesses, so no worries where such advice can be drawn from. Anyway, the President has the final say yeah?
Nevertheless, its a good thing that we're getting more accountability from the government which would doubtlessly benefit all of us in the long run...
