The immediate foreign family members of general election (GE) candidates will be exempted from a longstanding rule barring foreigners from being involved in election activities, in the next Singapore GE, which must be called by November.

In a joint statement on Monday (3 February) – by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the Ministry of Digital Development and Information and the Elections Department (ELD) – the authorities said that while these foreign family members can show support for the candidates during the campaign period, they should not actively canvass for political support. They should also not do anything that can be interpreted as an attempt to persuade or dissuade voters. Acts of showing support can include accompanying the candidates on walkabouts.

The Straits Times reported that the joint statement was in response to media queries on the publication of some amendments to election laws in the government e-Gazette on 20 January.

However, those under 16 will still not be allowed to do so, as is stated in the current rules.

  • Researchers took samples of human brains from dead people to look for microplastics.
  • The brain samples had higher levels of plastic than kidney or liver samples.
  • People who died in 2024 had more nanoplastics in their brain samples than those who died in 2016.
The brain is the most well-protected organ in the human body, but it has a surprisingly high amount of microplastic pollution, according to a paper published in Nature Medicine on Monday.
