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.
