<h1>Parliament Dissolved in Singapore as PM Wong Calls General Elections to Strengthen PAP After 2020 Performance</h1> Singapore's parliament has been dissolved, setting the stage for general elections. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, who succeeded Lee Hsien Loong in May last year, seeks to strengthen the People's Action Party's (PAP) position after a relatively weaker showing in 2020. The PAP has ruled Singapore since independence in 1965 and currently holds 83 of 93 parliamentary seats. Wong has launched a 'Forward Singapore' plan targeting younger voters and will field over 30 new candidates. Despite Singapore's economic success, the government faces criticism over income inequality, housing affordability, immigration, and restrictions on free speech.
