Certificates of Eligibility have been issued to former GIC chief investment officer Ng Kok Song, former Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, and former presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian.
At the close of applications on Thursday evening, the ELD said six people had submitted applications for the certificate. "Based on the information available to the Committee, it is satisfied that Mr Ng is a man of integrity, good character and reputation," it said. Prior to his resignation from the Government and the ruling People's Action Party, Mr Tharman's political career spanned 22 years and he won his Jurong Group Representation Constituency seat in four General Elections.
"The Committee is satisfied, having regard to the nature of Mr Tan’s office in NTUC Income Insurance Co-operative Limited, the size and complexity of NTUC Income Insurance Co-operative Limited and Mr Tan’s performance in the office, that Mr Tan has experience and ability that is comparable to the experience and ability of a person who has served as the chief executive of a typical company with at least S$500 million of shareholders’ equity," the ELD said.
