SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat has cautioned voters against taking risks with their vote in the general election, alluding to the possibility of the PAP losing power given that the opposition is likely to contest all 93 seats.

"It is very important for us to have a clear mandate from our people, so that we can tackle these many challenges ahead," Heng told reporters after a walkabout in Sengkang GRC on Sunday (June 28).
