With physical rallies disallowed because of Covid 19, online political broadcasts have added significance to this election. However, to require participating parties to submit scripts in multiple languages to IMDA and Mediacorp 48-hours in advance is a logistical impossibility for opposition parties. It prejudices the opposition parties and makes such broadcasts irrelevant. It gives the incumbent PAP the knowledge beforehand of what will be broadcast. This is grossly unfair to the opposition.

We reject the IMDA's requirement and call for a free and fair election. We demand IMDA to withdraw this rule.
