however, since singapore now has a written constitution, conventions play a much less significant role. in comparison, countries such as the united kingdom which lack a written constitution derive a major part of constitutional law from conventions. back in singapore's colonial days, the government adopted many constitutional conventions from the united kingdom. after independence, an attempt was made to incorporate many of these westminster conventions into the new written constitution. for example, section 3 of the parliament (privileges, immunities and powers) act – the act was enacted pursuant to article 63 of the constitution – states that the privileges and immunities of parliament are to be the same as those associated with the house of commons of the united kingdom. in addition, article 21(1) of the constitution embodies the constitutionally recognised westminster convention that the president generally acts on the advice of the cabinet.
