Writ of Election has been issued by the president of Singapore on Tuesday with Nomination Day being set on 1st September and Polling Day being on 11th September.

But what do you actually know about the General Election, given that it is held only every 5 years?

The above video created by “Next Singapore Story”, explains how the timeline and procedure of the elections, including the Writ of elections, nomination day and polling day. It’s an educational video meant to raise political awareness and literacy.

For many, politics is too long (TL) and most people don’t read(;DR) and therefore, we present this video in a concise and lighthearted manner to inform as many people as possible.

The creators of the video say, “We are neither from PAP nor Opposition. We are not endorsed by the Elections Department or the Singapore Government. We just want people to be more politically aware.” “Help us spread the word so that we can move towards a more informed citizenry together.”

Next Singapore Story is a project started by Mr Mike Ang. the aim of the project is to empower the Youth to Stand up, Speak Up and Share their love for the country. Read more at their website: http://nextSingaporeStory.sg

确保乘客安全 保障收入 载客服务业者欢迎新框架

国会通过管制德士和私召车业者的新框架管制《点对点载客业法案》(Point-to-Point Passenger Transport Industry Bill),公共交通理事会和陆路交通管理局皆授权进行监管工作,以便确保载客服务能够更安全,车资制度更清晰。多名业者对此新监管框架表示欢迎,并认为乘客的利益和安全也获得进一步的保障,但是网民并不如此认为。 为了让小型和创新企业在市场中有发展空间,仅限拥有至少800辆车队的业者会需要申请新推出的营运执照,即“路边载客”和“召车服务”的执照。 由此可见,牵连着会比较广。康福德高企业集团联络总监陈爱玲声称,规定电召业者遵循德士业者一直以来都在遵守的严格准则,有助于维护乘客利益。 她认为新框架有助于营造一个更平等且更可持续性发展的竞争环境,时朝着正确方向迈进。 私召车业者Grab公司发言人表示,该公司认为新条例除了能够对乘客安全提供更佳的保障之外,也建议在电召和拼车业者的应用程序中,设置紧急按钮和司机身份确认等安全功能。 他也认为公交理事会没有限定车资计算方式或设立收费架构,能够让更多人受惠,因为业者拥有足够的灵活度来应付市场动态的需求。 Gojek发言人表示,要维护我国东南亚城市通勤的重要市场,打造保护乘客和司机,及得以互相竞争的政策环境是至关重要的。 他指出,公司期待在塑造载客服务领域的未来上,能够和政府紧密合作。…

《联合早报》民调显示 近七成网民反对疫情下举行选举

上周,总理接受本地主流媒体采访,指如果经济大致上还能正常运作,大家还能办公、工作组织事情,即便不能大群体群聚,但还是能“把事情办得来”,仍可以采取适当措施,调整一般举行选举的方式。 他也提及例如以色列也在疫情下举行选举,至于美国部分州属也进行了总统初选,“这些是可以办到、解决的事。” 不过,《联合早报》早前进行民调,多达1万1600余网民参与投票,不过其中有近七成、约67巴仙的群众,不同意在疫情下举行选举。 吊诡的是,不久后民调就被抽起,迄今在该报官网的民调已找不到网民投票记录。 3月中旬,总理李显龙在上周六(14日)才在脸书贴文释放信息,指如需要在疫情过去签前选举,需采取必要防疫措施;隔日(15日)韩咏梅就发表评论附和领导人,在疫情可控情况下举行选举的论述。 截至今日,全球累计确诊78万人,其中美国灾情最严重,确诊人数已飙升至16余万人。 至于在今年3月初举行议会选举的以色列,截至3月2日,全国有10起确诊。但截至31日,累计确诊人数已飙升至4千695起,16人病故。 新加坡截至目前为止,已有879例确诊病例,有三人不幸病故。
