[Panel] Old Fears and New Hopes: Singapore's Next General Election

Because of the pandemic, it has been almost a decade since Singaporeans attended general election (GE) rallies. As we prepare for perhaps one of the most keenly contested GEs in recent times, due by next November, what has changed since? How has the practice of democracy evolved? Which aspects of this evolution are to be cheered and jeered? How can individual Singaporeans prepare themselves to be more democratically engaged citizens, as we keep methodically constructing this shared project called home? Our four panellists will share thoughts from the vantage points of both their individual practices, and their quotidian interactions and lives.
