[b]SDP election forum to be held on 20 Jan
Most Singaporeans are aware of the myriad of controls that the
ruling party exerts over the electoral system in this country,
making the process anything but free and fair.
The lack of an independent election commission, the use of the GRC
system, the sudden changes of rules and regulations, the numbering
of the ballot slips, the impossibly short campaign period, the
gerrymandering are all problems that Singaporeans are familiar
with.
But little has been done to reform the process. This forum hopes to
kick-start a national effort to address and rectify an election
system that is politically moribund. Rather than just talk (yet
again) about the problems, this forum will focus on action that can
be taken to rectify the situation...
