SINGAPORE: The General Election should only be held after there are"clear signs that the situation has abated", Singapore Democratic Party chief Chee Soon Juan said on Saturday .
"It is the worst of possible times for us to call for elections at this stage ... PAP cannot be more irresponsible to do something like this when we should be focusing our state resources, that the minds of Singaporeans at least on overcoming, conquering this virus," Dr Chee added.
"We're not just talking about rallies. When you do the count, the Elections Department people, they've still got to manually count the ballot. What's going to happen? How do we then get into a situation where we want to observe the count, but we have to maintain this social distance?" he said.
