THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

Singapore Election: Polls Close as Ruling Party Braces for Vote Count

The People’s Action Party has campaigned on its economic record and tighter immigration restrictions

Singapore Election: Polls Close as Ruling Party Braces for Vote Count – Wall Street Jo… http://twib.in/l/GkrG4jL5gx7 

SINGAPORE—Polls closed Friday in a general election in Singapore in which the governing People’s Action Party was expected to face the biggest threat to its rule since the city-state gained independence 50 years ago.

Counting was due to begin after voting stations shut at 8 p.m. local time. A final result wasn’t expected until early Saturday in Singapore, where voting is mandatory for those aged 21 and over.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is hoping to reverse a setback at the 2011 election, when his party received a record-low 60.1% share of the popular vote, though it held on to 81 of the then 87 parliamentary seats. Discontent over the government’s immigration policies and the rising cost of living in Singapore, one of the world’s most expensive cities, contributed to the PAP’s fall in vote share. These issues have continued to dominate political discussion here, and a slowing economy has added to pressure on Mr. Lee’s administration.
