  Do you get to choose how much of your monthly salary goes to CPF?
  
  Do you get to choose how much GST you need to pay when you purchase something?
  
  Do you get to choose whether transport fares go up or down?

  Beceause our system is based on the british system. Believe it or not, in the UK. there is no rule that says that a government must have a PM! It was only recently that the words "prime minister" has even been mentioned in any legislation!

  I dun really get your point. I am just stating a fact: that the singapore system is based on the UK's.
  
  Re having a monarch, that is a function performed by our president.
