24 hours to cool off before Polling Day
PORT OF SPAIN (TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO): Singaporeans will get an extra 'cooling-off' day at the next General Election, a 24-hour period during which campaigning will not be allowed so that voters can reflect calmly on their decision. In announcing the change, which will also apply to the presidential election, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the idea had been on the table for many years.
