In Singapore it’s only about a few days for Halimah Yacob to be the president of the country.

The interesting fact about this news it’s that actually there’s not election. The main reason for this to happen it’s that Ms. Halimah it’s the only available candidate for being elected, because she’s the only one that did pass the narrow selection for being a candidate to the presidency.

This it isn’t the whole news since she’ll be the first female president in Singapore, this important step in the democracy of the country it’s being taken under the popular pressure, since the election’s method it is assumed to be a democratic one, and you’re supposed to vote which of the candidates you like the best.

In this news I’ll stand for the citizens. My reasons are because since I’ll have the vote right in a year I would also like to take part of the process of the elections, since it’ll be elected a person that will take the country decisions. And even the final result it’s not likable, you will know at least that you did stand for your beliefs.
