SINGAPORE (June 23): The upcoming general elections will be like “no other” due to the gravity of the current situation, the issues at stake, as well as the special arrangements made to deal with Covid-19, says Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in a televised address to the nation at 4pm on Tuesday.

He has advised President Halimah Yacob to dissolve Parliament today.
