A 63 year old woman, Halimah Yacob has been declared Singapore’s eighth president on Wednesday after a “walkover” election that saw no vote after no other contenders ran for the position.

Yacob, had been the only candidate deemed eligible to stand in the country’s Elections Department, having held a key public position as speaker of parliament for three years.

The other two contenders, Salleh Marican and Farid Khan, were both denied eligibility, having fallen short of a constitutional rule that required any candidate from the private sector to have led a company with shareholder equity of at least 500 million Singapore dollars (372 million dollars).

Following the announcement, Yacob thanked her supporters in a speech, calling it a “a proud moment for Singapore, for multiculturalism and multi-racialism.”

Yacob is Singapore’s first Malay president in 47 years and the first woman to occupy the president’s office.

When their religion said women should stay indoor

Congrats ma
"When their religion said women should stay indoor"

The above statement stinks of ignorance. Can you quote a religious text on this. Get your facts right.

A UNESCO listed heritage site which is the world's first university was founded by a Muslim woman named Fatima Al-Firhi in Fez Morocco.
Search for this - The University of al-Qarawiyyin. There have been female Muslim heads of state or presidents in the past ... even in Pakistan. A current Iranian Vice President, Masoumeh Ebtekar is a Muslim woman, and on and on it goes

President in Singapore works really hard (mentally and physically) so not so many persons will want to take up the job. In Nigeria where money is shared in Abuja every month ending,hundreds of people fight and kill to become President and Governors.#EndRevenueAllocation.
