Today has been voting day in Singapore. People working in offices have been given the day off. Voting is compulsory. If you don't vote, I was told, you are barred from voting in later years. The campaigns have generated a lot of excitement. The majority party is sure to get it. But one of the opposition parties might win a seat or two. Locals will be sitting up into the night watching TV and phoning each other agog to hear the news. The papers have been full of election news for days and this is likely to carry on. (Along with news about the haze.)
Election as a topic for talks
At Toastmasters clubs one of the table topics for impromptu speeches is likely to be something to do with the election. In the past month meetings have started with 'what will you be doing on election day' for every person to answer.
One of the speeches might be on elections. One speaker talked about electing a monitor at primary school, elections in China which he visited, and finally elections in Singapore.
