The sample count for the Presidential Election just got released, revealing that Tharman Shanmugaratnam has, in the sample, 70% of the votes. Interestingly, the reason for having a sample count made public (for the first time) has been to avoid misinformation and manage expectations. An idea you might want to know is that of an 'information vacuum'—the absence of information. When there is an information vacuum, misinformation tends to spread, and this is what the sample count works against (without a sample count, misinformation could easily spread around claiming a certain candidate is on the lead). Perhaps we are also learning from elections in some other nations, such as in the U.S., where Trump had accused the elections as being 'rigged' and 'stolen' and later caused protests by his supporters. By releasing a sample count, it perhaps manages expectations of candidates and their supporters before the final outcome is released, making such outbursts less likely.

| 20 | Billionaire Richard Branson, who founded Virgin Group, has written against our use of the death penalty and also in particular, Tangaraju Suppiah, who is on death row currently. Law Minister K. Shanmugam had previously challenged Richard Branson to have a television debate with him on the use of the death penalty when he last made similar comments, which was rejected by Branson who felt a television debate would be 'at risk of prioritising personalities over issues'. This time, MHA has also responded, referring to some of his comments as disrepectful to our judiciary.
Possible themes: Law and Order/Crime and Punishment + Media + Politics
Food for thought (these areas were tested at the A-Levels before):
⁃ Rehabilitation vs punishment
⁃ Relevance of the television today
⁃ New Media vs Traditional Media
⁃ Importance of rights
⁃ Should we be concerned about affairs in other countries? (In this case, Branson, who lives in the UK is commenting on Singapore’s affairs—the Ministry of Home Affairs harshly referred to him as “Pontificating from a distant mountaintop”. Consider whether such comments are justified or whether Branson's call to abolish to death penalty in Singapore is justified) | 503 |
