A few public servants from various companies, who spoke on condition of anonymity, furthermore said some of their coworkers had been notified via internet.  ,
One common slave was notified that they had been appointed as a presiding officer, in an internet seen by CNA. They were instructed to log in to an election officials ‘ website using their Singpass to finish the recruitment process, and find out more about their vote nomination and election approach.  ,
