SINGAPORE, Sept 4 — Singapore’s prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong, has formed a panel to review electoral boundaries, his office said in a statement on Wednesday, signalling an imminent general election.

Singapore, which has been ruled by Lee’s People’s Action Party since independence more than half a century ago, must hold elections by early 2021.

The formation of the electoral boundary review panel is seen as a precursor to national elections. — Reuters
