SINGAPORE: Rallies are not encouraged for the Presidential Election and there will be no designated rally sites, said the Elections Department on Saturday .
Candidates who still want to hold election meetings like rallies can do so, but will need to obtain the approval of the premises or site owner and then apply for a police permit, said ELD on Saturday. The maximum spending limit for election expenses is S$600,000 or 30 cents per registered elector, whichever is greater.
“Candidates have a responsibility to raise their awareness of potential foreign interference threats and be on the alert for suspicious behaviours and hidden agendas,” the press release read. “They should steer away from negative campaigning based on hate and denigration of opposing candidates. They should not make false statements, for example, unfounded allegations of corruption or commission of criminal offences, or statements that may cause racial or religious tensions or affect social cohesion.”
