Constitutional Commission reviewing elected presidency to hold public hearings in April and May
SINGAPORE – The Constitutional Commission formed to review Singapore’s elected presidency will hear from a number of contributors at public hearings in April and May.
In a statement on Monday (Apr 11), the Commission revealed that it had received more than 100 written submissions from the various contributors on specific aspects of the elected presidency.
It had invited the public to send in their views on Feb 18 this year.
The nine-member Commission said that it had “carefully considered all submissions, and has decided to invite a number of contributors to make oral representations clarifying or elaborating on their written submissions”.
The public hearings are tentatively scheduled for Apr 18, Apr 22, Apr 26 and May 6, between 9.30am and 5pm. They will be held at the Supreme Court auditorium, and will be open to the public.
The public will be informed if the Commission decides that it needs more hearing dates.
The Constitutional Commission, chaired by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, was announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in Parliament on Jan 27.
It is tasked with looking into three key aspects of the elected presidency system. These are the qualifying process for presidential candidates, the framework governing the exercise of the president’s custodial powers, and ensuring minorities have a chance to be elected.
The Elected Presidency was introduced in 1991, and the next election must be held by August next year.
The Commission expects to complete its report, containing its recommendations, by the third quarter of the year.
