I'm sure his lawyers have already done the due diligence
From another individual:
It goes without saying that TS has all the credentials for the job. It is also evident that he is a good person, with an active conscience. He loves the country and cares for the man in the street. He is known to have supported local entrepreneurs. But what he appears to be lacking in is “fire in the belly, and steel in the nerve” that LKY talked about as essentials in leaders. In my work experience with TS, he pushes for what he believes in but only to a point. He has, what I would consider last mile inertia. He becomes or tends to become risk adverse. There is a tendency to avoid what is unpleasant. This combined with his loyalty to LHL presents an undesirable combination. When it comes to local politics or real politics, I feel he could have used his leverage to push the boundaries more. Perhaps he does, within the system. We may not see, or have not seen it.
A separate but related point is that, regardless of the merit or demerits of his candidacy, the ruling party’s campaign strategy lacks sophistication. The party machinery led by pseudo tacticians should be less blatant in trying to pull wool over our eyes by orchestrating every step. From what has happened so far, the synchronous TS’s and GG’s statements, it looks like GG’s candidacy is an intrinsic part of TS’s campaign. It may appear that GG was asked to enter the fray, even if only to lose, to show a desire for contest, which appears to be the current mantra. This is not necessary, and seems to make TS look less authentic.

This is exactly the part that bothers me. GG kept driving home the point that people must be allowed to vote for their next president. But he never articulates how he's going to bring change to the nation
Good point.
He should and must provide the reasons for people to vote for him, not simply continue to claim that he is independent.

For a small country with 4 million ppl...there sure are alot of civil serpents, MPs n committees etc...n of course highly paid civil serpents which leads to a very expensive public sector..no wonder GST needs to be at 10% and more
Very philosophical
There appears to be too many positions, such as:
Ministers in the PMO
Majors
Town Councils (there were economies if scale, and efficiencies when HDB dealt with all HDB flats and estate matters)
Ministers of State, Senior Ministers of State, Second Minister
Permanent Secretaries, Second Perm Sec, Deputy Secretaries
Parliamentary Secretaries
Numerous departments in the various Ministries
Personal Assistants and/or Exective Assistants to the Ministers, to the PPS, to the Perm Sec
The increasing number of departments and units in the SPF, and SAF
The Govt Ministries,PMO,Govt Agencies,Govt Tech,CDC.....etc were padded with lackeys.
