总理李显龙今日(23日)建议总统解散国会,并于下午4点发表演说。他提及,在疫情期间举行大选,将会采取安全措施确保选民能够安全投票,并同时确保政党能够安全竞选。

为了减少人潮聚集,选举局也发布竞选指导原则,并增加更多大选投票站,投票站内也会采取社交距离措施,选民也将会被分配时间进行投票,年长者将可优先投票。

至于候选人的竞选活动,候选人仍然可以走访社区,但必须遵守安全距离措施,但选举集会将会取消,会为候选人提供更多机会与选民对话,比如透过电视和网络直播。

他也指出,在疫情期间选举并非只有新加坡,如台湾、韩国和部分欧洲国家都已开始选举,因此他认为只要做好安全措施,就可实行一次安全的大选。

DBS CEO, previously embarrassed by disruptions in March, apologises for May outage

DBS and POSB Bank customers in Singapore experienced service disruptions on 5 May, marking the second major outage in two months. Many were unable to access online and mobile banking services, and numerous ATMs were non-operational. DBS CEO Piyush Gupta apologized and assured that a Special Board Committee is overseeing a full review of the bank’s IT resiliency to prevent future disruptions. He had previously said he felt embarrassed during the bank’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), two days after the March’s disruption. The Monetary Authority of Singapore called the incidents “unacceptable” and imposed an additional capital requirement on DBS Bank.
