Dear ST reader,
The Workers' Party (WP) is using the prospect of an opposition wipeout to sway voters, said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat.
"What would Singaporeans think, if they wake up next Saturday, to find that the PAP has lost four GRCs and two SMCs? What would investors and other countries think?" asked Mr Heng.
WP chief Pritam Singh had earlier said the PAP would still have an "incredibly strong mandate" even with one-third of the seats in opposition hands.
Meanwhile, WP's Sengkang GRC candidate Raeesah Khan has apologised after two police reports were made against the 26-year-old in relation to her online comments on race and religion.
