Telum vox pops: Covering GE2020 during a pandemic

By Sudha Raman and Lim Hui Shan

Singaporeans will head to the polls on 10th July 2020. As the General Election takes place in the midst of a pandemic, the atmosphere on the ground is different than usual. It is an election of no rallies in stadiums, no handshakes during walkabouts and candidates campaigning online all while social distancing.

Hairianto Diman, the Host & Presenter of The Big Story and Correspondent of ST Digital; Vengadeshwaran Subramaniam, Journalist of Tamil Murasu; Nyima Pratten, Interactive and Digital Media Producer of Perspective Media; Koi Kye Lee, Associate Producer of NHK World (Singapore) and Yeap Ming Feng, Head of Content at Seedly share their experience of reporting the GE2020 during a pandemic.
