Really don't understand why the hell he did such a silly thing.

Nobody has asked the most important question... Is Laura bushy or shaved?

Several names suggested for Speaker role
Retired ministers, office-holders and lawyer-MPs among contenders

Two former Cabinet ministers, two office-holders and two senior lawyers were among the names suggested to be the next Speaker of Parliament by political observers yesterday, a day after Mr Michael Palmer's shock resignation.

They are: Retired ministers Wong Kan Seng, 66, and Mah Bow Tan, 64; Senior Minister of State Indranee Rajah and Minister of State Halimah Yacob; and lawyer-MPs Alvin Yeo and Hri Kumar Nair.

Others include Deputy Speakers Charles Chong and Seah Kian Peng. Both would be most familiar with the role and an easy choice to move up, said some observers.

But it may also be possible that someone with more political heft is appointed, especially as the House has the most number of opposition MPs (nine) since 1966, said Nominated MP (NMP) Eugene Tan.

Former deputy prime minister Wong and former national development minister Mah, now backbenchers, could help maintain orderly proceedings during debates, said Mr Tan.

To a lesser extent, Ms Rajah, and Madam Halimah are contenders too because they are office-holders, said their parliamentary colleagues.

"But Ms Rajah would find it very difficult to sit there for many years and not be able to speak up in debates," said an MP who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The Speaker presides over sittings and enforces rules for the orderly conduct of parliamentary business.

He or she also need not be an elected MP. "That is provided for in the law, but we have not had that for many years," said Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, when asked on Wednesday at a press conference announcing Mr Palmer's resignation, owing to his extramarital affair.

Age could come into play as well in who is picked, said veteran MP Inderjit Singh.

Mr Palmer, 44, had said in September last year, after he was nominated for the post, that his sense was that the party wanted "someone new and younger".

The youngest is Mr Nair, 46. Following him is Ms Rajah, 49, Mr Yeo, 50, Mr Seah, 51, Madam Halimah, 58, and Mr Chong, 59.

If the House is inclined to appoint - as had happened before - someone with a legal background, Ms Rajah, who holds the law portfolio, Mr Nair and Mr Yeo could be front runners.

Singapore's first four Speakers were legally trained, as is Mr Palmer, the country's eighth.

Said former NMP Siew Kum Hong: "You want someone with experience and gravitas, and among the non-office-holders, Mr Yeo and Mr Nair stand out."

As for Ms Rajah, a former deputy managing director of law firm Drew & Napier, an MP said: "When it comes to knowing the law and parliamentary procedures, no one else would be better."

======================
We want nobody but EMERITIUS SENIOR MINTSTER GOH CHOK TONG!
EMS Goh would be influential yet intimating with the opposition, challenging the new opposition, esp Hougang Huat-ah to speak & do it (election fever is over, now it's time for the real hard work). At same time, EMS Goh would be a calming influence during hot exchanges of ides from the new PAP MPs.

EMS Goh for Speaker of the House!

PAP was unaware of SMS exchanges

Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean clarified that he did not know about the exchanges when Mr Palmer had first approached him over his extramarital affair with Ms Ong on Dec 8.

The New Paper revealed in a report last Thursday that it had received the exchanges from an unnamed source on Dec 8, and speculation has been rife that it was this that drove the former MP to resign from politics.

The exchanges showed intimate conversations between Mr Palmer, 44, who had been MP for Punggol East Single Member Constituency, and Ms Ong, 33.

Ms Ong, who had been a constituency director of the Pasir Ris West office, tendered her resignation last Monday, said the People's Association (PA).

Mr Teo, who is also an MP for Pasir Ris-Punggol Group Representation Constituency, said: "The important thing is (that) he has taken responsibility for this and he has stepped out."

The MP had been speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a Deepavali celebration event in Rivervale Drive in the Punggol East ward.

Mr Teo said that one of his top priorities for Punggol East residents is to see to the resolution of upgrading works at Rivervale Plaza shopping complex.

Works there have been delayed because the contractor has gone bust, he said.

Later yesterday afternoon, Mr Teo went door to door at Block 193 to hand out leaflets detailing the next Meet-the-People Session, to be held today.

He said that he will attend the session, along with Minister of State Teo Ser Luck, who has been tasked with overseeing the ward.

During the block visit, Mr Teo said that residents raised issues, such as the cleanliness of the area. But, by and large, they "were very satisfied" so far, he said.

He added that those who mentioned Mr Palmer said that they were very sorry to see him go.

Mr Teo said that the residents felt that Mr Palmer had done good work as an MP, and they hope that this will be carried on.

At a separate community event yesterday, PA chief executive director Yam Ah Mee said Ms Ong was a " very good staff" member.

He said that he felt "so sorry for her" and urged the public to give Ms Ong "space to move forward" to address her issues.

cum clean on the selection for this CONtractor.
how can this happen in a PAP ward, esp Speaker of The House ward?
I am very disappointed with the drop in standard of governance.
In my eyes, no one can beat Emeritius Senor Minster Gog Chok Tong.
If can, I will vote EMS Goh as president!

Laura Ong......Palmer is better....cos angmo tua kee!!!

The role of Speaker of the Parliament is to maintain order during debates. As such, the Speaker cannot speak on issues. I will like to nominate MM Lee for the role. It's the only way to stop him from talking in parliament. Haha.

Speaker also cannot vote usually, unless tie, a la USA?

No problem to solve this .... ask PAP to nominate Ah Pek Yam Ah Mee to contest in Punggol East Single Member Ward and make sure that he win .... then make him the Speaker !

With his deadpan face and voice I don't think any woman will be attracted to him .... hence no extramarital affairs, unlike the handsome Ang Moh Michael Palmer with his "yua kee"
