The_King Posted April 15 Posted April 15 SINGAPORE: President Tharman Shanmugaratnam dissolved parliament on Tuesday (Apr 15), paving the way for Singapore's 14th General Election. Nomination Day will be on Apr 23, the Prime Minister's Office announced. A Writ of Election is expected to be issued shortly, specifying the date of Polling Day. It will also contain information for MP hopefuls, such as the election deposit and documents required. The upcoming contest will be the first under Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, who was sworn in last May, and Singapore's fourth-generation or 4G leadership team. Mr Wong was named secretary-general of the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) in December 2024, succeeding Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the helm of the party. At stake in this General Election are 97 seats across 33 constituencies, comprising 18 Group Representation Constituencies (GRC) and 15 Single Member Constituencies (SMC). In the 2020 General Election, which was held amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) clinched 61.24 per cent of the votes, winning 83 seats out of an available 93. But a swing to the opposition saw the Workers’ Party (WP) make inroads into parliament by claiming its second GRC. WP chief Pritam Singh was also formally designated Leader of the Opposition. The upcoming election could feature candidates from 11 parties, including two opposition alliances. The opposition camp has contested all seats since the 2015 polls. SECOND LONGEST PARLIAMENT The 14th Parliament, which began on Aug 24, 2020, was the second longest in Singapore's history, sitting for about four years and eight months. It also concluded its term with the highest number of vacant seats since independence, following the departure of six MPs for various reasons. Under the Singapore system, Cabinet ministers do not vacate their roles after parliament is dissolved, and continue with their responsibilities until the first sitting of the next parliament. Signs of an imminent General Election have been building over the past few months, particularly after the formation of a committee that reviews electoral boundaries. The Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) was formed on Jan 22. Almost seven weeks later, it released its report laying out major changes to Singapore’s electoral map, with five Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs) and four single-seat wards remaining unchanged from the last election. The various political parties have also been unveiling prospective candidates and stepping up their presence on the ground in recent weeks. Voter concerns heading into this election include the cost of living, as well as jobs and unemployment, a survey in January found. A return to full campaigning, including physical election rallies that were last held a decade ago, is expected in what will be Singapore’s first General Election since the COVID-19 pandemic. 2 1

Unless he dig into reserves and distribute 10K per boomer. Honestly, I think the mindset has changed. I see some boomers already coming around because now they really see and experience the pain and frustrations of their children in finding work and getting a roof over their heads. Also, their miserly CPF payout now seem so pathetic to them and their children is in no position to top up. The canto pop old man in MP GRC can do his cantonese song and dance but the hokkien pengs will not care. Meanwhile, I will ensure I vote wisely in my new Punggol GRC. @socrates469bc please take note and update your master accordingly. ha ha 3 I am not a MISOGYNIST as I love women.
