Can you give a short explanation on how you're planning to use this dataset?

I want to study trends in how commerce is being conducted in Singapore. Specifically, I want to understand if more companies are being formed over time, directors from which nationality contribute to company formation in Singapore. Broadly, I want to use this data as a proxy to further understand if Singaporeans are becoming more enterprising by forming companies.

As a bonus, it would be helpful to also visualize a graph centred on common directors across various companies, to understand the relation or connection between companies.
