@redwiresg: Businessman George Goh and ex-GIC chief investment officer Ng Kok Song have submitted their Certificate of Eligibility (COE) for the upcoming Presidential Election. Goh submitted his COE earlier today, while Ng turned in his forms yesterday. They now join former NTUC Income chief Tan Kin Lian, who reportedly submitted his COE some 3 weeks ago. The eligibility of Goh and Tan will be assessed based on the private sector deliberative track. Goh does not automatically qualify as he does not manage one company that has S$500 million in shareholders' equity. Tan qualified in PE2011 under the private sector deliberative track for his position as NTUC Income chief. However, it is uncertain whether he will be allowed to run this time as it is up to the Presidential Elections Committee to decide if NTUC should be considered a cooperative rather than an enterprise. Ng will be assessed under the public sector deliberative track as his role as chief investment officer does not make him the top executive of GIC. If Goh, Tan and Ng qualify, they will contest PE2023 with former deputy prime minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who resigned from parliament and as a PAP member and Jurong GRC MP to run for president.
