SINGAPORE: Singapore’s general election rallies are always a spectacle, and this past Friday and Saturday (April 25-27), the island was positively ablaze with colour, character, and the unmistakable pulse of democracy in action.

This year’s campaign trail feels especially electric, as these are the first physical rallies in a decade – live hustings having been halted in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
