In alot of countries with a presidental election, there is usually a term limit for the president, ranging from 8-10 years.
So do you think there should be a term limit for singapore as well? In regards to the Prime minster?
Although we need to bear in mind the potential benefit and disadvantage of a term limit.
No term limit means the government can plan in the long term, while having a term limt means the party may be able to plan things in the short term only.

there is never any term limit for PMs. only some of the heads of states have term limits.
so that's why our government is head by a PM (which is not limited by a term limit), instead of a president.

Term?? what term, you guys mandated the PAP to govt singapore thru election, and within their echelon, they will elect their PM, and they do change PM too, LKY to GCT and now LHL. So? What is the problem? If you dun like them, just dun vote them the next time lah.
the point is that they choose their PM after they as MPs were elected. we don't get to choose our PM.

Of course you dun get to choose, you endorsed the party to be the govt ruling you for the next 4 to 5 years, and under their consitutions, they will hold a referendum to elect a PM thru a proposal follow by voting within themselves under close door. You just sit back and relax and see how they perform, if they are no good, after 4 to 5 years, you vote another party lah.

No point of talking when there is no action to get rid of the ruling party.

The thing is,in US presidential system, no person is allowed to stay / remained as President for more than 2 terms.

Yeah I know...but this is a simple thread discussing the idea and benefits/negative of a term limit.
And in mind that one of the longest president and one of their best president Franklin D. (Delano) Roosevelt served for 4 till his death.
He basically secured the US as a world global superpower in this world.
Of course, good leaders don't come often.

Exactly, so they changed the person from Lee KY to Goh CT and then recently Lee HL. But then we are not US of A, we are Republic of Singapore. One nation, one singapore, One PAP and One PM.
