Singapore’s Upcoming Election Amid Global Crisis
As Singapore approaches its election, the governing People’s Action Party (P.A.P.) seeks to maintain its long-standing power amidst economic dissatisfaction and rising living costs. With the opposition Workers’ Party gaining traction, their leader Pritam Singh emphasizes the need for a balanced political system, despite his party not contesting enough seats for a government formation. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong argues for the P.A.P.’s stability in navigating global challenges, but public sentiment reflects a decline in median wealth, raising questions about the party’s grip on power.
