So the elections are over. Now there's time to peruse some constitution-ny things.

Did you know the Speaker of Parliament DOESN'T have to an elected MP?

sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/CONS1963?P…

"The Speaker may be elected, in such manner as Parliament may from time to time decide, either from among the Members of Parliament who are neither Ministers nor Parliamentary Secretaries or **from among persons who are not Members of Parliament**"

Perhaps in the spirit of non-partisan, fairly distributed opinions in our hallowed halls of people ruling and policy making, we should have a NEUTRAL person conducting business.

Job pays pretty well, ahem

I nominate @mrbrown becos Kim Huat will be super entertaining in person #ge2020 #Singapore #NeutralSpeakerPlease
