More fresh faces with potential political aspirations have been spotted engaging with residents across Singapore – a sign that preparations for the upcoming General Election are gaining pace. 

This comes as the Elections Department announced last Thursday (Mar 27) that the election expense limit has been raised from S$4 to S$5 per voter. It also confirmed the designation of Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs) where candidates from Malay, Indian or other minority communities are required.

Who are the fresh faces? Will we see younger potential candidates being fielded for this year’s General Election and what impact might this have on voting sentiments?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Teo Kay Key, Research Fellow at IPS Social Lab at the Institute of Policy Studies to find out more.
