Singapore's ruling party wins albeit waning support

PAP now makes up 61% of the parliament, down from 70% in the 2015 elections.

The People’s Action Party (PAP), Singapore’s ruling party, has retained its seat in the government from the General Elections (GE) held last 10 July. This allows Prime Minister (PM) Lee Hsien Loong to serve another five-year term in office.

The figures showed that the PAP won 83 parliamentary seats out of 93, which make up about 61%. However, these numbers dipped from 70% during the 2015 elections.

Elections procedures have observed social distancing measures, but had to be extended for two hours until 10pm to make up for the long queues.

PM Lee called for the poll amidst the ongoing pandemic. “The alternative is to wait out the COVID-19 pandemic. But we have no assurance that the pandemic will be over before this Government’s term must end next April. And this is why I have decided to hold the General Election now,” he said in a press conference.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
