Singapore is preparing for its presidential election, with three candidates vying for the largely ceremonial role. One of the key responsibilities of the President is to guard the country's reserves, which remain a state secret. The campaigning has highlighted issues such as dissatisfaction with the high cost of living and a lack of accountability among lawmakers. Some Singaporeans are calling for a more outspoken president who will question the government's policies. The election is seen as tightly managed by the establishment, leading to frustration among some voters.
