Two Singapore opposition parties are calling on the government to publish clearer campaigning rules and make changes in preparation for an upcoming election.

The Workers’ Party called on the current government to provide more clarity on how election campaigning rules would be modified in view of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. “Contesting parties should know the ground rules as soon as possible, in order to be well-prepared to offer Singaporean voters their best efforts at the polls,” the party said in a statement posted to its website on Thursday.
