You can check your polling station's queue status by scanning the QR code on your poll card before heading to your respective polling station. You are to bring along your original NRIC or passport and poll card for voting.

Members of the public are advised to be wary of a fake YouTube channel impersonating a trading platform, with videos aimed at deceiving users into executing malicious scripts that compromise cryptocurrency wallets. This was shared by the Singapore Police Force and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) in a joint media statement on Friday (May 2).  According to the statement, the fake YouTube channel, which bears the name and logo of trading platform TradingView, provided instructions for users to install a purportedly official application. TradingView is a legitimate online platform used to chart and analyse financial markets, including stocks, forex and cryptocurrencies. It is downloadable as a desktop and mobile application via its official website. The statement added that victims of the scam channel were directed to download and execute Windows PowerShell scripts containing a malicious PowerShell command. Upon running the command, a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) was installed onto the victims' devices, compromising their cryptocurrency wallets.
