Is There A Reserved Election For Eurasian Race?

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)[reply

@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)[reply]
@Sgconlaw: I see. Thank you for enlightening me. Linrx81 (talk) 10:30, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

70.4% or 70.40%

small detail but i feel that writing 70.40% is more concise as it is 4 significant figures, along with the rest. 58.182.55.199 (talk) 18:22, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it as a two decimal points, like its standards. Sculture65 (talk) 07:35, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've posted this item at ITN, hence it's already on the main page as a bold link. That disqualifies it from DYK. Schwede66 22:31, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong inauguration date

Under 'Aftermath', "Tharman Shanmugratanam's inauguration will be scheduled to take place at The Istana on Thursday, 14 September 2021" is wrong.

It should be 14 September 2023. 101.100.160.71 (talk) 01:35, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
