SINGAPORE — Polling stations have opened for Singapore's most hotly contested general election in decades, with the opposition seeking to erode the dominance of the People's Action Party (PAP).
There are 2.2 million voters eligible to elect members of parliament for 82 of the 87 seats after one five-seat district was won in a walkover by a PAP team led by the republic's founding father Lee Kuan Yew.
His son, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, is leading the PAP into an election for the second time since becoming head of government in 2004. Full story
