Long line of voters seen queuing at polling station in Singapore

Residents queue at a polling station in Singapore this morning (July 10) as the country holds the first elections in Southeast Asia since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

Footage shows voters waiting outside a polling booth at around 11am this morning, with many of them appearing to be ignoring Coronavirus Covid-19 social distancing rules.

The health crisis and a grim economy are expected to bolster Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s People Action Party (PAP) and extend its unbroken rule.
