    [SINGAPORE] Opposition parties staked claims and raised objections following Tuesday’s (Mar 11) release of new electoral boundaries for the upcoming election.

    The People’s Alliance for Reform (PAR) signalled its intentions, but the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) and Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) both said they would study the report, while questioning some changes.

    The Workers’ Party (WP) did not make specific criticisms, but said: “We note there are significant changes to areas where WP has been working consistently for the last few years.”
