Silly "Sena" is the biggest worm SL has in conducting/saying dumb things. Imported from Polonnaruwa.

The Singapore President is a figurehead (like what we need). So, our President should have said this to the Singapore PM. I wonder who is advising our President. By the way, should not our President's delegation, if to be taken seriously, be having govt ministers instead of members of the opposition? Our country may be looking silly and clueless in the eyes of the world.

It's a record for a head of state to make a state visit with opposition MP's. Shame and also shows the instability of a country. At least some credible MP's would have brightened things up. Here they are all the switch over brokers of a rougue govt.
