The electoral boundaries of Singapore have been redrawn — which means election season is almost here. New faces from various political parties have been spotted on the ground over the past few months, with some opposition parties laying early claims on certain constituencies. As recommended by the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC), there will be 10 five-member GRCs and eight four-member GRCs, as well as 15 SMCs in the 2025 General Election (GE). Particularly fierce contests are predicted to take place in some electoral divisions; here are five notable ones to keep an eye on. Aljunied GRC The first ever GRC to be won by an opposition party, Aljunied has been held by the Workers' Party (WP) since GE2011. In GE2020, the WP team of Pritam Singh, Sylvia Lim, Faisal Manap, Gerald Giam and Leon Perera claimed Aljunied GRC with 85,603 votes (59.93 per cent).

You may be familiar with the history of how Singapore grew from a fishing village to the metropolitan city that it is today. With such a huge transformation, it is important to reflect on how we got here and what our next steps are. To guide Singapore in charting its next lap of growth, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) has unveiled the Singapore Economy 2030 vision. The strategic blueprint centres on four key pillars to propel Singapore's growth trajectory: Trade, Enterprise, Manufacturing, and Services. Here are the important takeaways from the Singapore Economy 2030 vision: Trade 2030 By 2030, Singapore aims to boost its export value to at least S$1 trillion and its international commodity trade flows to US$2 trillion (SGD$2.7 trillion). To achieve these goals, the Trade 2030 strategy focuses on anchoring new flows and growing trading volumes, deepening companies' efforts in key areas such as sustainability, and enhancing trade relationships with global economies.

SINGAPORE - Billionaire tycoon Kwek Leng Beng will drop the lawsuit he had filed against his son Sherman Kwek and other directors of City Developments Limited (CDL), in the latest turn of a high-profile family rift that set tongues wagging for more than two weeks. The executive chairman of CDL said on March 12 that he has decided to drop the lawsuit he had filed in February to stop his son and majority directors of CDL from implementing a number of board resolutions. The lawsuit was also filed to restrain two newly appointed independent directors from exercising their powers. “I will continue in my role as executive chairman, and Sherman Kwek will continue as group chief executive officer,” he said. All the current directors, including the two new independent directors – Ms Jennifer Duong Young and Ms Wong Su-Yen – will remain on the CDL board, he added. The older Kwek said all CDL board members have agreed to put aside their differences for the greater good of CDL and its stakeholders.
