New citizens will never vote for Opposition.
They love SG under ruling party.
That is why they gave up their own country and come to be our new citizen.

The dictatorship cruel country they escape from will actually punish them for voting against it.
These new citizens still have a lingering fear.
That their vote is not secret and they will be listed for State torment.

SG is not like that.
But new citizens will not take this risk when they vote.

First one and two GE will vote for the lightning. Subsequent votings may change to opposition due to the understanding of the situation here- High cost of living.

GE2025: 11 election rallies to be held on May 1, final day of campaigning​

https://www.straitstimes.com/singap...-to-be-held-on-may-1-final-day-of-campaigning

SINGAPORE - Eleven election rallies will take place on May 1, the final day of campaigning, with large crowds expected at the venues.

Police said on April 30 that permits were issued to six parties and one independent candidate.

They include People’s Power Party (PPP), Progress Singapore Party (PSP), People’s Action Party (PAP), Workers’ Party (WP), Singapore Democratic Party (SDP), Red Dot United (RDU) and independent candidate, Jeremy Tan.

The rallies are scheduled from 7pm to 10pm on May 1.

The PPP, which is contesting seats in Tampines GRC, will hold a rally at a field beside Tampines Concourse Bus Interchange; the PSP (Pioneer SMC) at Jurong West Stadium; WP (Hougang SMC) at Anderson Serangoon Junior College; RDU (Nee Soon GRC) at a field along Yishun Central, which is next to Futsal Arena @ Yishun, and SDP (Sembawang West SMC) at Evergreen Primary School.

The PAP will be holding five rallies for Potong Pasir SMC, Aljunied GRC, Punggol GRC, Sengkang GRC and Tampines GRC at St Andrew’s Junior College, Serangoon Stadium, Yusof Ishak Secondary School, North Vista Secondary School and Temasek Junior College, respectively.

Independent candidate Jeremy Tan, who is running for Mountbatten SMC, will be holding his rally at Home of Athletics in Kallang.

Singapore goes to the polls on May 3. Candidates started campaigning from April 23 and may do so up till Cooling-off Day on May 2.

On this day, no campaigning is allowed. All candidates and parties must stop all forms of promotion, whether in person or online.

This gives voters time to reflect on the issues raised during the campaigning period, and to decide on their choice without feeling overwhelmed.

In an earlier release, police said attendees are strongly encouraged to take public transport, owing to large crowds expected at the rallies.

They should also be prepared for traffic diversions, lane closures and slower traffic in general that may likewise affect the pick-up and drop-off points for ride-hailing services.

Police said the use of carparks near the election rally sites has been restricted to season parking holders. Vehicles found illegally parked or causing obstruction may be towed away.

A list of items banned at the rallies:

• Firearms/parts of firearms, including empty magazines and spent cartridges
• Live and blank bullets
• Air pistols and rifles or parts
• Spear guns
• Explosives, blasting caps, dynamites and corrosive substances
• Fireworks and firecrackers
• Parangs and machetes
• Bearing scrapers
• Walking sticks with daggers
• Antique pistols and guns
• Stun guns
• Batons and t-batons
• Night sticks
• Signal flares and other flammable materials
• Handcuffs
• Tear-gas and pepper sprays
• Nanchakus
• Knuckle dusters
• Crossbows
• Industrial acid
• Bulletproof vests
• Keychains in the shape of a bullet or gun
• Wooden or metal spears
• Lighters in the shape of a gun, pistol, bullet or grenade

GE2025: What you need to know about the cooling-off period​

https://www.straitstimes.com/singap...you-need-to-know-about-the-cooling-off-period

SINGAPORE - The day before Polling Day is known as Cooling-off Day, during which campaigning activities and election advertising are not allowed.

This period of campaign silence starts on May 2, after midnight, and ends only after polls close on Polling Day on May 3. It is intended to give voters time to reflect on issues raised during the campaign period, before casting their vote.

Introduced in 2010, Cooling-off Day was first observed in the 2011 General Election. These rules during the cooling-off period apply to all, including voters, candidates and election agents.

This is part of a series of explainers and listicles The Straits Times has put together ahead of the polls.

Here is the list of what is allowed – and not allowed – during the cooling-off period.

No: Publishing of fresh election advertisements​

Publishing or publicly displaying new election advertisements, or making changes to any existing ads, are not allowed on Cooling-off Day and Polling Day. This applies to both online and non-online forms of election advertisements.

Online election advertising refers to any material published online that can be reasonably regarded as intended to promote, procure, or prejudice the electoral success or prospects for political parties or candidates. Such material can also be to enhance or prejudice parties or candidates’ standing in connection with any election.

These rules also apply to resharing, reposting and boosting of online content, and applies to all paid or unpaid content.

The public display of traditional forms of election advertising, such as banners, flags or posters, are also prohibited, unless they were published before the start of the cooling-off period.

Political parties are also not allowed to conduct programmatic advertising, such as using technology to automatically deliver online ads.

No: Conducting of house visits or walkabouts​

Candidates are not allowed to conduct any campaigning activities including walkabouts, door-to-door visits, canvassing of votes and distribution of flyers or house to voters during this period.

The use of vehicles for campaigning is also not allowed.

No: Wearing or displaying campaign propaganda​

No one is allowed to wear, carry or display campaign symbols or materials – such as on banners, t-shirts or badges – that promote a candidate or political party.

Only candidates may wear a replica of their party’s symbol.

No: Holding election meetings or attending public events​

Gatherings, rallies or public meetings where candidates or parties address voters are not allowed.

The public is also not allowed to attend events that are being held for election purposes.

Yes: Campaign materials can remain​

Banners, flags, posters and online election-related content put up before the cooling-off period may remain in place.

Yes: News outlets publishing election-related articles​

Licensed media organisations can continue publishing election-related news reports in newspapers, on radio, or on television during the cooling-off period. But these reports must not amount to election advertising.

Yes: Sharing of personal political views privately​

Private, non-commercial sharing of personal political views and content between individuals is allowed.

This includes private conversations, text messages and direct messages, within a private chat or closed group with family or friends, as long as they are not intended for public broadcast or mass dissemination.

Group chats or channels on messaging platforms, such as WhatsApp or Telegram, must not be used to publish election ads.

In a Facebook video, PAP candidate for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC Sim Ann assured residents of Bukit Timah Hill District that she knows the area well and shared about the places she used to patronise in Bukit Timah.

The district, which used to be a part of Jurong GRC under Mr Shawn Huang, now falls under Holland-Bukit Timah GRC.

Ms Sim, who is also Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and National Development, said she has been doing her homework and understands residents’ concerns.

She hopes to continue the good work of Mr Huang and serve residents with “all my heart, as I have been doing for the rest of the Bukit Timah division”.
