425 35 PREAMBLE 665. In this Part, the Committee makes its recommendations on TORs #3, #4, and #5. The recommendations are made in light of the Committee’s findings, the testimony
of expert witnesses and CSA, and submissions from the public. The Committee has also taken into consideration the comprehensive, careful, and thoughtful recommendations by the Solicitor-General, and the collective
recommendations from MOH, MOHH, SingHealth, and IHiS.
35.1 Terminology 666. The importance of the recommendations and the seriousness with which we take their implementation are denoted by the use of the following terms a) The term “
MUST” indicates requirements to be followed strictly and from which no deviation ought to be permitted. The use of MUST reflects our view that the degree of necessity for implementation of these recommendations is particularly high. b) The term “
SHOULD” indicates that,
among several possibilities, one is recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others, or that a certain course of action is preferred
but not necessarily required, or that (in the negative form) a certain possibility or course of action is discouraged but not prohibited. There may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to choose a different course, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course.
