I think you read the constitution differently. All Westminster governments are allowed to pursue agreements and non-parliamentary approval is the norm. The more appropriate issue is what the IMF is doing with its increased funding.

You should go back to your economic textbooks of IMF abilities and needs of funds.

Whether it is a loan, funding, committment or gestures involving huge amount of our tax monies, no one should single-handedly approved it. Othewise why need to have president, why need to have parliament meant for such debate. Apparently, the pledge to IMF was slipped under the table in the name of trust. Don't forget LKY trust no one and he doesn't believe in such. To him trust is an aspiration otherwise why ONLY HIS FAMI-LEE members held so tightly to Temasek, GIC where the bulk of Singaporeans money was held. His PM son is an insult to uphold the "conflict-of-interest" ideology making ball-less Singaporeans the laughing stock of the world.
