Recently, the closing General Elections have seen a number of election goodies for Singaporeans ranging from 24-hour kopitiams to GST vouchers and public fares reduction. The ruling PAP government have been introducing a slew of populist and short-term cash benefits for Singaporeans to prepare in its worst-ever election result in 2015.
