Goh’s press statement said companies he owned and acquired, including some which were listed in Singapore and the United Kingdom, had a collective market capitalisation value of S$3.15 billion.

“This is especially so, given the President’s role in checking the Government in the two important areas concerned with the national reserves and key public office appointments,” Goh said.

You read the above. He openly declare that he will be independent and not be yes man. He may also not approve all appointments made by the PAP.

“All four of Singapore’s past elected presidents were political appointment holders or from the public sector. It is time to have a truly independent person with a pair of fresh eyes to play the role the elected president was created for,” he said.

The PAP regime does not want some one independent to be president who will question its decisions for the people.

They will not risk allowing George Goh to run and potentially defeat Tharman. If that happens, there will be a psychological flip switch that the PAP can be defeated at the next GE.

They will disqualify him.

.talking is one thing, doing it is another

Why Mr Goh didn't opposed his appointment as a non resident ambassador to Morocco while toe along PAPs policy and directives ?

Let's qualify him to show Tharman is better person to be selected by citizens to be next president

That's likely the script.

Easy. He must manage a company with shareholder funds of at least $500m for 3 years. He did not achieve this.

He says he owns several biz with $1.3 bn but that's different from managing.

It is a grey area that they can attack him on.

Who says that the president's job is to question the government?

Show me which part of the constitution says so.

I wonder if being Chairman is considered managing or not managing position. He created these companies from nothing but he hands over to proteges midway and takes up position of chairman rather than ceo.

My feel is any argument they van make to get rid of him as a competitor to Tharman they will do it.

But logically a person who grow assets from nothing to 3B and oversees it as chairman is more than qualified compared with people like Halimah.

The concept of "fairness" is non existent among elite leaders.
