(SINGAPORE) Singapore's ruling party suffered a fresh rebuke from voters on Saturday when it lost a parliamentary by-election despite promises of more reforms to appease a restive electorate.
The opposition Workers' Party trounced the People's Action Party (PAP), which has been in power for more than 50 years, following a campaign dominated by issues such as the rising cost of living and widening income gaps.
The PAP has now lost two by-elections in less than a year after suffering its worst performance in a general election in May 2011. Full story
