As I understand about the Presidential Elections, there will be a reserved election for each minority group when certain criterion are met. Noting that after Malay Presiden Yusof bin Ishak, Eurasian President Benjamin Sheares was sworn in, is there therefore a reserved election after Presiden Halimah Yacob for a Eurasian candidate? Linrx81 ( talk) 16:15, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- @ Linrx81: for the purpose of reserved elections, the Indian and other minority communities are considered as a single category. Thus, since S. R. Nathan, who was Indian and thus from this category, was president within the five most recent presidential terms, there is no need to hold a reserved election for the Indian and other minority communities category. — SGconlaw ( talk) 17:28, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

- I also consider about the following proposals, because they do share in common:
- ...both Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Halimah Yacob debuted in 2001 Singaporean general election as Members of Parliament for Jurong GRC before becoming Presidents?
- ... Halimah Yacob, the eighth President of Singapore, was one of the six appointed assentors for the President-elect Ong Teng Cheong in 1993?
- ... Tharman Shanmugaratnam was the third President of Singapore-elect with a former portfolio as a Deputy Prime Minister?
- ...2011 was the first year in Singapore where both parliamentary and presidential election ran concurrently in a span of three months?
- ... Tharman Shanmugaratnam considered a durian and a pineapple for his symbol, but eventually chose the latter to reference his prior ministerial roles?
- ... Sample counts, first introduced in the 2015 parliamentary election, carries an accuracy margin within 0.07% to 5%, which help reduce speculations and human error during counting?
- ...the Polling day for the 2023 Singaporean presidential election occurred exactly 30 years ago where Ong Teng Cheong was inaugurated as President of Singapore?
Under 'Aftermath', "Tharman Shanmugratanam's inauguration will be scheduled to take place at The Istana on Thursday, 14 September 2021" is wrong.
