New faces emerge across constituencies as Singapore's next General Election looms
Singapore's next General Election must be held by November this year. No party has named candidates yet, but there has been a buzz over new faces seen on the ground. Analysts said early engagement with local communities could boost recognition for parties, but it's still tough to find the right candidates. Sabrina Ng reports, while Associate Professor Eugene Tan from the SMU School of Law and Dr Felix Tan, an independent political observer, were in the studio to share more about the selection of new candidates.
