As countries grapple with US President Donald Trump’s tariffs and a mounting trade war, Singapore will head to the polls where such global affairs are not expected to be top of mind for voters casting their ballots on May 3. Domestic concerns such as the rising cost of living, jobs and housing are more likely to move the needle in an election where Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will seek a strong mandate, as he steers the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) into the polls for the first time since taking office last May. Wong leads his band of fourth-generation leaders, commonly known as the 4G, with candidate introductions reported nearly daily. The PAP has dominated Singapore’s elections since 1959, before independence in 1965. It is among the longest-uninterrupted governing parties in history. With the ongoing tariffs turmoil, Singapore’s open economy is especially vulnerable, authorities warn. But analysts say bread-and-butter issues weigh more heavily on voters’ minds and the trade war may not result in the electorate taking a flight-to-safety approach to the ballot in favour of the PAP. “Elections in Singapore tend to be a domestic affair, with the focus very much on local and municipal issues that are personal to the voter and less about foreign issues,” said Mustafa Izzuddin, a senior analyst at Solaris Strategies Singapore. “Singapore is not immune to the trade war, so the ruling party will emphasise it to the voters but I don’t think there is substantial mileage to gain from it.” A voter wearing a face mask leaves a polling station after casting his ballot, during the general election amid the Covid-19 outbreak in Singapore on July 10, 2020. Photo: Reuters Nydia Ngiow, managing director at consulting firm BowerGroupAsia, meanwhile suggested global issues would come into play if Singaporeans felt a direct hit. “It is unlikely that geopolitics will become a major campaign theme – unless Singaporeans feel a direct and tangible impact on their cost of living, job security, or the broader economy,” Ngiow said. Yet, independent political observer Felix Tan said: “There’s always the flight to safety, especially for those who have gone through and seen some very tough times. However, younger voters might not see the tariffs as dire conditions.” Analysts also note that despite the last election in 2020 being held while Singapore was grappling with the dire threat of the Covid-19 pandemic, the opposition won a record 10 out of the 93 seats on offer. “At this point, the real-time effects of global tensions, such as the ongoing tariff war, are not as immediately felt as the pandemic once was. Even in 2020, when the PAP leaned heavily on this rhetoric, the results did not turn out as strongly in their favour as expected,” Ngiow said. Teo Kay Key, a research fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies’ Social Lab, argued that even if the trade war posed a tangible bogeyman, it did not equate to a better result for the PAP. “Even if people feel fearful and uncertain for their futures, they might not feel that there is a need to fly to safety, and instead want to consider having more perspectives in parliament instead,” Teo said. Voters are likely to focus on issues such as housing and cost-of-living pressures for the coming election in Singapore, analysts say. Photo: Shutterstock Analysts note that surveys conducted in the lead-up to the election writ announced on Tuesday regularly found cost-of-living concerns to be the biggest factor among voters. On such pressures in Singapore, Bilveer Singh, associate professor of political science at the National University of Singapore, pointed to two consecutive goods and services tax (GST) rises from 7 per cent to 9 per cent in 2023 and last year, which might hurt the incumbent. “The worst-hit are the middle and lower classes which are the majority. The cost of living already shot up before the trade war began, so it will be difficult to sell the flight-to-safety argument and pin this all on Trump,” Singh said. To alleviate cost pressures, Wong’s government unveiled a raft of relief measures as part of a S$143.1 billion (US$109 billion) budget in February that included vouchers for necessities, rebates for utilities and income tax, and gifts to commemorate Singapore’s 60th year of independence. Similar efforts involving vouchers and payouts have been rolled out since the pandemic. On February 28, responding to Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh’s questioning of policies during the budget debate, Wong stressed the GST increase did not lead to inflation “turbocharging”, pointing to price moderations after the tax rate was raised twice. He also said inflation was driven by global factors such as war and ensuing supply chain disruptions. ‘The house never wins’ Yet Ngiow pointed out that government measures, while generous, were often seen as short-term relief. “This risks voter scepticism: people are impatient for long-term strategies to show results, yet quick to criticise perceived inaction, with support measures risking being viewed as a natural given. In this dichotomy, the house never wins.” People walk at the Geylang Serai Ramadan bazaar ahead of the Eid al-Fitr celebration in Singapore in April 2024. Analysts say cohesion is likely to be a theme some voters will focus on. Photo: EPA-EFE Aside from bread-and-butter issues, Bilveer Singh said cohesion would be another theme with some voters, especially those from the Muslim community. “The Muslim population is not a majority but they can make up 15 to 17 per cent in some areas and a lot of them haven’t been happy with the way the government has handled the situation in Gaza and how long it took them to address the comments made by Calvin Cheng,” he said. He was referring to how Singapore’s top office holders, including Wong, took former nominated member of parliament Cheng to task nearly a month after he said on social media he would sponsor flying pro-Palestinian activists to Gaza “only if they never come back”. Wong’s 60 per cent litmus test Analysts say that while the PAP is expected to be returned to power, eyes will be on whether Wong can keep its vote share above 60 per cent – a mark achieved in every election since independence. In 2020, the party clinched 61.23 per cent of the vote, slightly higher than the PAP’s worst performance in 2011 when it won 60.14 per cent amid unhappiness over an influx of foreigners, a housing shortage and transport breakdowns. Analysts had also suggested a stronger desire for opposition voices in parliament as the Workers’ Party won its first multi-seat constituency that year. The PAP bounced back to 69.86 per cent in the 2015 election held following the death of Singapore’s first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew and as the country celebrated 50 years of independence. Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has said he is expecting fierce competition across all wards in the coming general election. Photo: EPA-EFE Analysts point out that each first general election for a new prime minister has not been their best performance. Every leadership transition, from Lee Kuan Yew to Goh Chok Tong, and from Goh to Lee Hsien Loong, has been marked by a dip from the previous polls. Wong told local media last Saturday he did not have a target vote share and that he was expecting fierce competition across all wards. Mustafa said this response was expected of the prime minister, as anything otherwise would hold him to the figure ahead of the polls. “There is some political realism from Lawrence Wong with what he hopes to get. Anything between 60 and 65 may be viewed as a reasonable electoral outcome for him.” The PAP slate will be a fresh one, with Wong telling local media that at least 30 new faces will be fielded, the largest in recent history. Tan argued that the fresh crop under a new prime minister made sense for the party to avoid waiting five years for some of the older MPs to retire. However, Bilveer Singh questioned whether such retirements could have caused unhappiness within the party. “There is no doubt that the PAP will be the government, two-thirds majority, [Wong] will be the prime minister on May 3, but what happens the day after? What if they only win by 58 per cent?” he said. “Will there be questions within the party about who caused the fall? This is how one-party dominance fails – fractionism, and moving people into retirement who are still capable.” Pritam Singh, secretary general of the opposition Workers’ Party, in February. Photo: AFP The freshness of the PAP slate, coupled with cost-of-living pressures and the opposition’s ability to attract high-calibre candidates, has led to analysts calling this the most hotly contested election in Singapore’s recent history. While the Workers’ Party has yet to unveil its full slate, leader Pritam Singh has suggested that it is necessary to prevent the PAP from having a two-thirds majority, which lets the party pass constitutional amendments. Should the Workers’ Party contest in a third of the 97 seats in this election, it would be the most candidates the party has ever fielded. Its potential candidates include a senior counsel, consultants and a senior principal clinical psychologist at the Institute of Mental Health. “If you look at all the new faces in all the constituencies and how both the incumbent and the opposition seem to have been able to attract good candidates, this election is going to be hard fought,” Tan said. Meanwhile, Teo pointed out that opposition political parties were increasingly able to attract credible candidates to join their slate, which would shape voter perceptions. Ngiow noted that while a wider range of choices was healthy for democracy, it remained to be seen if opposition parties could overcome the long-standing issues of fragmentation and infighting. “The possibility of more multi-cornered fights could dilute their impact – unless they can coordinate effectively and present themselves as a credible long-term alternative,” she said. Regardless, Mustafa expects the election to be one of the closest and most intense, given the slew of candidates and the political parties that have joined the fray. “This bodes well for the democratic development of Singapore,” he said.

A 41-year-old British national, Lindley Scott David John, has been sentenced to seven weeks' jail after using criminal force against a public servant and displaying public drunkenness. He was sentenced on Apr. 16, 2025. The police were alerted on Mar. 8, 2025, at 7:45pm that Lindley was behaving aggressively and using vulgarities at the staff entrance of Changi Airport T2's arrival hall. Unable to locate his checked-in baggage Lindley had arrived from Bangkok and could not locate his checked-in baggage at the baggage claim hall. He then assumed that his employer on the same flight had taken his baggage and headed to the public area to try to contact his employer. Lindley found out that his employer didn't have his checked-in baggage either. Lindley then attempted to re-enter the baggage claim hall via the staff entrance to search for his bag, but was stopped by a female auxiliary police officer (APO) for unauthorised entry. Verbally harassed and hurled vulgarities Lindley ignored instructions, hurled vulgarities, and pointed a middle finger at her. He then began to attempt to push past her, grabbing the APO's chest as he did so. Other APOs tried to intervene, but Lindley hurled vulgarities at them as well. Convicted of several offences Lindley was convicted of three offences. He was convicted of one count of drunkenness in public places, one count of using insulting communication against a public servant, and one count of using criminal force to deter a public servant from the discharge of their duty.

SINGAPORE: A 41-year-old tourist was on Thursday (Apr 17) charged with giving a bribe to a National Environment Agency (NEA) officer to avoid the penalty for smoking in a non-designated area on Orchard Road. Huang Qiulin faces a charge of corruptly giving gratification under the Prevention of Corruption Act. He was on holiday in Singapore on Mar 26 when he smoked outside a shopping centre along Orchard Road. The area was not designated for smoking, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said in a press release. Since January 2019, smoking has been banned in public areas in the Orchard Road district except for designated smoking areas. Huang allegedly offered a S$50 (US$38) bribe to NEA enforcement officer Tan Tar Chuak, in order to induce Mr Tan and two colleagues not to take action against him. The enforcement officer rejected the bribe, CPIB said. Huang who is from China told a district court that he would plead guilty. He is out on bail of S$5,000 and will return to court on May 15. The punishment for corruption is up to five years in jail or a fine of up to S$100,000, or both. Offenders caught smoking in a prohibited place may have to pay a composition sum of S$200. If convicted in court, the offenders may be liable to a fine of up to S$1,000. Source: CNA/dv(sf)
