SINGAPORE/SEOUL -- The coronavirus crisis has delayed elections worldwide, from Asia to Europe and the Americas. But two major Asian countries -- South Korea and Singapore -- are pressing ahead toward national polls.
South Koreans are scheduled to choose National Assembly members next Wednesday. Singapore's schedule is far less certain: It has until April 2021 to hold a general election, but Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong can call it when he sees fit and several signals indicate he is preparing to do so.
