Singapore is gearing up for general elections on May 3, marking Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's first electoral challenge since he took office. The election comes as the nation faces significant global uncertainties affecting its export-driven economy. Wong emphasized the need for Singaporeans to elect a leadership team during this transformative period, noting that the stable global circumstances that have previously underpinned Singapore’s success may be evolving. Despite the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) being likely to retain power, the elections could pose a more competitive landscape than in past years due to growing public discourse and electoral engagement.
Wong emphasized the election is crucial as Singapore navigates through global uncertainties, stating the world is becoming increasingly unstable, impacting Singapore’s previous economic success.
"We are witnessing profound changes in the world. It is becoming more uncertain, unsettled and even unstable," Wong stated, underscoring the significance of the upcoming elections.
