SINGAPORE: The release of the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) report is 'not correlated' to when the General Election will be called, ...
. As of Saturday morning, the disease has killed more than 5,000 people and infected 140,000 all over the world.
In past elections, Parliament had been dissolved between one day and about two months after the EBRC report was released, leading analysts and opposition parties to speculate that the next polls will be called as early as May.The COVID-19 situation, however, is likely to last"a year or more", Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had said in a televised message on Thursday.
“This is not the time for partisan politics, but for national unity. It would be nothing less than irresponsible for the Government to call a General Election while the COVID-19 situation is rapidly evolving,” said SPP in a statement published on their Facebook page on Friday.“We are confident that the Government will not risk exacerbating the outbreak by calling for a general election before the situation has stabilised. There is nothing more important than the health of all Singaporeans.
Speaking to reporters after a tour at the Singapore Zoo, where he presented the SG Clean certificate to Wildlife Reserves Singapore, Mr Chan noted that the “focus at this point in time” is the COVID-19 outbreak.
