from what I know, letting it lapse = fresh look at the LTVP
Q3 last year.
I do not have a complete 'audit trail' but do you recall how you used to apply (online via 'e-submission') and then at 'Completion of formalities' have to appear and bring a wad of your original documents with you (edu, birth, marriage certs etc)?
Well on my most recent approval letter (I would post a pic, but obviously it's waaaay too big, so I'll summarise it).

'Your LTVP has been approved in-principle subject to production of the following documents and your medical

- Passport
- DE card
- Photo
- Medical report
Your sponsor must be present.
Completion of Formalities
- Come to Visitor Services Centre
- Make an appointment on-line.
- Be prompt.
Notes:
- This IPA is valid for 2 months
- This IPA is not a valid pass to remain in SG [etc]
- Final approval subject to the result of the medical
[... and that's about it.]

No mention of bringing edu, marriage etc certs at all. And as ICA are not going to rely solely on previously e-submitted copies of such documents I conclude they are not required for renewal.
