SINGAPORE'S 138 ELECTION CANDIDATES WILL NOW HAVE THE TASK OF REMOVING THEIR POSTERS AND BANNERS WHICH THEY PUT UP AFTER NOMINATION DAY. THOUSANDS OF POSTERS WERE HUNG UP ON TREES AND LAMP POSTS, PASTED ON BUSES AND AT BUS SHELTERS AND BANNERS WERE STRUNG ACROSS BUILDINGS IN ALL THE 57 CONTESTED CONSTITUENCIES. SOME OF THE CANDIDATES AND THEIR ELECTION AGENTS, ARMED WITH LADDERS, WERE BUSY TAKING DOWN THEIR POSTERS AND BANNERS. AMONG THE FIRST TO DO SO WAS THE MINISTER FOR CULTURE JEK YEUN THONG (ON LADDER), WHO WAS RE-ELECTED TO QUEENSTOWN AFTER TROUNCING HIS UNITED NATIONAL FRONT AND WORKER'S PARTY OPPONENTS TO WIN BY A MAJORITY OF 10,921 VOTES
