Friday, May 12, 2006 what we need, seriously 9:32 AM Singapore should free its media and create an independent election authority, a Bangkok-based watchdog recommended yesterday in a review of last Saturday's General Election. The Elections Department, which handled preparations for the ballot, is under the office of the Prime Minister. "A structurally-independent election authority should be established to conduct all electoral work and processes; such a crucial institution must not only be neutral, but be seen to be so by all voters," the Asian Network for Free Elections (Anfrel) said. Noting that the media are the primary means for many voters to obtain information about the election, Anfrel said "the media licensing regime should be liberalised, to allow the media to reflect the diversity of views". "The system of Group Representation Constituency should be reformed; there are better ways of achieving the important objective of ensuring representation of minority groups than winner-take-all block voting," it added. It said changes to electoral boundaries "need to be made considerably earlier" and the campaign period extended from nine days to give voters time to learn about their candidates. - TODAY 12th May, Friday So on top of election strategies that are advantageous to the PAP, there's is also wonderfully biased media coverage. that's just great for the opposition, no? the whole GRC system is just unfair. but well, weappreciate the fact that there was a lot more opposition involvement in this year's GE which singapore really really needs. so yay! AND kenny got quoted in the papers! saying the WP has done really well this time round. kudos to credible opposition. and congrats to the PAP for the win, please try not to screw over too many opposition members okay? thanks. 0 comments |
