This is from the Election Department website:
POSTERS & BANNERS
The display of posters and banners advertising for a candidate or group of candidates during the campaign period must comply with the conditions listed in the Returning Officer’s permit for such display of posters and banners.
At the end of nomination proceedings, the Returning Officer will issue to the candidate or his election agent a permit authorising the display of posters and banners in public places within the constituency where the candidate is contesting in. The permit will specify the maximum number of posters and banners allowed to be displayed in public places within the constituency (other than election rally sites) and may contain certain conditions restricting the place at and manner in which the posters and banners may be displayed.
Posters and banners must be removed after polling day and that the failure to do so is an offence. Candidates or their election agents have to ensure that all of their posters and banners are taken down within the specified period stated in the Returning Officer permit and properly disposed of after the elections.

So, it seems from the Election Department's own website that law regarding posters and banners is that a permit is issued for the posting of banners and posters only to the candidate for use only in the constituency that he is contesting. Since Lee Hsien Loong's poster is all over the island, is he contesting every single GRC and Single constituency? Obviously not. So, what does it say about a PM that can so easily violates laws that others have to adhere to? It says that he is not trustworthy, its says that he thinks the law does not apply to him. This kind of PM should be voted in? I think not. I suggest an Oppo party should file a police complain immediately against the PAP. Another complain should be filed against the ED for dereliction of duty and corruption. The ED is in the PM's Office and they take money from the PM's budget. In other words, they get paid by the PM. So, in return, they turn a blind eye to his violation of election laws? I call this corruption.
