At the crack of dawn at 5.30am when I go to work, one get to see many of the elderly behaving like the proverbial early bird getting the worm – scavenging at dump sites and rubbish bins for cartons, drink cans and anything that can be sold for cash. You get to see people rummaging through the rubbish bins of the nearby Sheng Song supermarket for any thrown-away vegetables and fruits that are still edible.

比上届选举增逾13万人 选举局:合格选民259万4740人

选举局发文告指出,选民册已在4月15日完成查核,合格选民共259万4740人。 国民可前往选民局网站(https://www.eld.gov.sg/online.html)核实选民资料,或携带身份证到选举局或民众俱乐部查阅。 海外选民则可到制定的海外领事馆或大使馆查阅。 那些在过去选举因没有投票而被除名者,受促尽早向选举局申请重新登记选民,因为选举令状一旦颁布,当局就会停止让国人申请恢复选民资格。 旅居海外的合格选民,如果在2016年2月1日至今年1月31日之间,曾在本地居留至少30天,可申请成为海外选民。 2015年选举,有246万2926名合格选民,该年投票率达到93.56巴仙。来届选举最迟必须在2021年4月前召开。 这意味着这四年来,新选民增加了13万1814人。
