SINGAPORE – Singapore’s revised voter rolls have been certified and are open for public inspection, the Elections Department (ELD) said in a media statement on Wednesday (April 15)

There are a total of 2,653,942 electors, and eligible voters can check their particulars in the Registers of Electors electronically – through the Elections Department website and the SingPass Mobile app.

This is about 59,000 more people than the 2,594,740 electors when the registers were last revised in April 2019.

Singaporeans whose names were removed from the registers for failing to vote at a previous election can apply to have their names restored, the ELD added.

They are encouraged to apply early, as applications will close with the issue of the writ of election.

Registers of electors certified, available for public inspection

0

SINGAPORE: The registers of electors were certified on Wednesday (Apr 15) and are available for public inspection.

There are a total of 2,653,942 electors in the registers, the Elections Department (ELD) said in a press release.

In 2015, when the last General Election was held, there were 2,460,484 electors in the registers. 

Singapore citizens may check their particulars in the registers electronically at Voter Services on the ELD website, or at “Profile” under “Registers of Electors” on the SingPass Mobile app.

Those whose names were removed from the registers for failing to vote at a past election may still apply to have their names restored to the registers via Voter Services on the ELD website, so that they can vote at future elections.

“They are encouraged to apply early as, under the law, we will not be able to restore their names during the period from the date the Writ for an election is issued until after Nomination Day if the election is not contested, or until after Polling Day if a poll is to be taken,” ELD said.

Overseas Singaporeans who have lived in Singapore for an aggregate of at least 30 days during the three year period between Mar 1, 2017 and Feb 29, 2020 may also apply to register as overseas electors to vote at one of the designated overseas polling stations.

Eligible overseas Singaporeans are encouraged to register or re-register as soon as possible.

Cabby lives out of taxi in Singapore after he's stranded by Malaysia lockdown

Malaysia’s lockdown to contain the coronavirus outbreak in March saw many displaced workers in Singapore, most of whom had been crossing the Causeway daily to get to work.

While many companies have arranged accommodations for their workers (some in hotels, even), one taxi driver has not been as lucky.

Facebook user Alvin Koh and his colleague had called for a private hire vehicle on April 11 when they met a Trans-cab taxi driver.

Upon boarding the taxi, the cabby began telling them his story — he had been sleeping in the car since the lockdown, alleging that his company had done little to help him.

“His taxi company is not doing anything for his accommodations or whatsoever other than waiving off the taxi rent for a month,” Koh wrote.

Coronavirus: Life will not go back to normal after end of circuit breaker period, says Gan Kim Yong

[ad_1]

Life in Singapore will not “revert to normal” when the circuit breaker period ends on May 4, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said yesterday.

If necessary, it would be extended, he told reporters at a virtual press conference.

But even if such a move is not needed, Singaporeans will not see a situation where all the significantly stricter measures are lifted at once and “everyone (can do) what they like”, he said.

Some measures may be tightened, and others loosened or fine-tuned, added Mr Gan, who co-chairs the multi-ministry task force fighting the Covid-19 outbreak.

Even if the measures were relaxed, they would be done as part of a gradual process that would extend beyond the circuit breaker period, he added.

The minister stressed that the pace of change will depend on the Government’s risk assessment of the virus threat at the particular point in time.

13 weeks' jail for woman who assaulted neighbour, causing him to fall and die from head injury

[ad_1]

SINGAPORE – A woman has been sentenced to 13 weeks’ jail for assaulting her neighbour who died after he fell and hit his head on the floor.

Leo Mona, 57, was originally scheduled to appear in a district court on Wednesday (April 15).

Her case was brought forward and she was instead sentenced last Thursday.

In February, District Judge Mathew Joseph convicted Leo of assaulting Mr Ho Wee Khuan, 48, in a common area of a block of flats in Holland Close.

The judge also found Leo guilty of attempting to intentionally obstruct the course of justice.

During the nine-day trial, a witness, Madam Sarada Appi Narayanan, testified that she had gone to her son’s flat on Aug 10, 2017 to help him with household chores.
