Tan Cheng Bock v AG [2017] SGCA 50 elected by Parliament under the previous Art 17(1), and those who were elected by the citizens of Singapore under the present Art 17A. In both cases, the relevant Presidents were “elected under this Constitution”. Hence, on this view, the “5 most recent terms” in Art 19B(1) can start from the term of any past President specified by Parliament, subject to the point we have made at [71(a)] above. 100 We make one final point, which we alluded to in passing earlier. As we noted at [72(a)], Art 163 confirms that President Wee was to be regarded as having “held the office” of President even after the 1991 Amendment altered the office of the President. When Art 19B was drafted, Parliament had knowledge of Art 163 and it seems reasonable to infer, as Mr Nair submitted, that the use of the words “held the office” in the former was influenced in part by their use in the latter. The relevant question is not whether President Wee was elected to the Presidency under the post-1991 Amendment iteration of the Constitution but whether he is properly to be said to have held that office even after the 1991 Amendment, and as to that, if there were any conceivable doubt over this, Art 163 makes it explicitly clear that he did. 101 We summarise our interpretation of the plain meaning of Arts 19B(1) and 164, having regard to the text of the provisions in their statutory context, as follows: (a) The counting of “terms of office” under Art 19B(1) may include terms already served, as well as partial terms of office that were uncompleted. (b) Art 164 allows Parliament to specify any of the past five terms of office of the President that immediately precede the 2017 election as the first term to be counted under Art 19B(1). 50
