Yes, I agree.
Naturalised citizens have already lived in the country for many years and even given up their original citizenship of their homeland just to get the Singaporean citizenship. They have contributed a lot to Singapore in terms of education and work force, and also made many sacrifices just to live in Singapore as a citizen.

Every citizen, no matter naturalised or not, have the same rights as other citizens. Thus if other citizens have the right to run for presidency, naturalised citizens should also have the right to.

No, I do not agree.

Naturalised citizens should not be allowed to run for presidency.

Even though naturalised citizens may have contributed to the development of Singapore, they may not be properly integrated with the local culture of Singapore. Failure to understand the local culture in Singapore might result in unrest or a clash in ideology if the wrong policies are enacted at the wrong time.

Besides this, having a naturalised citizen to run for president may result in a lack of nationalism from the people for the country. As the naturalised citizen may not properly understand the local culture and traditions, he/she may not be able to properly stimulate the population to feel patriotic to their country.

Thus, I feel that naturalised citizens should not be allowed to run for presidency.

No
I feel that they would not feel dedicated as they are not born here and sometimes, they might not understand the issues that might happen since they did not grow up in the country. They might also lead the country unfairly. Sometimes when there are issues between the country that they rule and the country that they were born in, it might cause many problems.

No, A Naturalised citizen should not be able to take up presidency

Naturalised citizen was originally born in another country. Although they are a part of the the country for a long period of time. They were not born in this country so they should not be able to run for the presidency as they had not always been a citizen of the country.

# data[].attributes.body
No, because a Naturalised citizen cannot fully understand the customs , culture and the ways of a country, especially if they moved here after adulthood.

Their minds are shaped by the country they grew up in, the ideologies and customs of that country is already solidified in their minds

No

I do not agree that naturalised citizens should take up presidency. Naturalised citizens are not born with pure Singaporean blood. So they may have their loyalties to be invested on another country. "Naturalisation" is granted by rights, but it may not be granted in their hearts. Thus, naturalised citizens would not have the strong sense of belonging in a country that is not their true home. So, they will lack the necessary commitments and patriotism to lay their very lives in service to a country that is not their sovereign.

# data[].attributes.body
No

Naturalised citizens should not be allowed to run for Presidency as they are not true citizens by blood and that they might not be loyal as they might betray the country and they will follow the orders of another country and sabotage the country.

Yes, if they serve in the country for long enough. See, when they become naturalised citizens they are part of Singapore and have the same rights as anyone else. If they have mature views and everyone agrees with him and trusts him why shouldn't he be allowed to be a president? He is part of the country, has seen what needs to be improved and if he can convince the majority of the people to vote for him he must become president, because I know many migrants who are very intelligent and I've seen Singaporean politicians who feel vastly unqualified. Hence, they should be allowed to run for president.

Yes, I agree that Naturalised citizens should be allowed to run for Presidency.
Naturalised citizens have contributed a lot to the country, they have left their original country to study, to work and to live here in Singapore. This proves their patriotism towards Singapore. They, like Singaporeans, live on this piece of land too. Therefore, they should have the same rights, same voice, same benefits as Singaporeans.
Hence, I agree that Naturalised citizens should be allowed to run for Presidency.

I disagree that naturalised citizens should be allowed to run for presidency. Since he/she was probably another citizen, they could rule the country unfairly, for example, he/she might set laws that are biased and benefits his/her own people, hence I disagree that naturalised citizens should be allowed for presidency.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes

I agree to that naturalised citizens should be allowed to run for presidency as they have served long enough such that they gained citizenship. Therefore shows that naturalised citizens have contributed to the country enough and should have the chance to run the country as they have been part of the country's growing.

# data[].attributes.body
NO area

Imagine a random person from another country who lived in Singapore but becomes President after election. Singapore will then be in charged of by a person who lived in Singapore for a way shorter time than us. I feel that it is unfair.

P: I agree that

Naturalised citizens should be allowed to run for Presidency

E: Singapore's president are usually only for ceremonial purposes. They do not have power over the military like the US President does.

E: This leads to lesser responsibilities for the President of Singapore and it is ok to have a Naturalised Citizen to run for presidency in Singapore. Unlike the USA, Singapore's president does not require them to have many talents/skills.

L: Therefore, naturalised citizens should be allowed to run for Presidency

# data[].attributes.body
My stand: No.

Why? Even if they are naturalised citizens, the process of "naturalisation" is not towards their will, but towards the legal status. It means that they might not have the will to become a natural citizen of Singapore.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes

I agree that

Naturalised citizens should be allowed to run for Presidency because they have contributed long enough to Singapore and are citizens of Singapore, so they should know how to handle Singapore.

When they are able to take care of Singapore and are able to establish ties with another,  the president is good enough.

Therefore, I agree that

Naturalised citizens should be allowed to run for Presidency.

Yes, I agree that Naturalised citizens should be allowed to run for presidency as even though they gained citizenship, that individual had given up his other citizenship in the country he was born in and had came to Singapore to be a citizenship here. Therefore, this proves their loyalty to Singapore and their love for our country.

# data[].attributes.body
Naturalised citizens should be able to run for presidency as they have also contributed to the development of the country and they have gone through everything a normal citizen of the country would have gone through also

Naturalised citizens should not be allowed to run for Presidency.
Since they were from another country,they might be bias make make laws such that they help the people from their own country while he neglects other.
