Singapore voters head to polls for general election

SINGAPORE: -- Singaporeans are heading to the polls to vote in an election that is widely expected to see the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) return to power.

It is the country's first election where all constituencies are contested.

It is also the first following the death in March of revered long-term leader Lee Kuan Yew, the PAP founder and father of the city state's current prime minister.

The party has won every election since Singapore's independence in 1965.

It is known for leading Singapore into prosperity as well as its authoritarian ways.

The PAP's success has been attributed to its widespread popularity among Singaporeans - who have seen their country rapidly evolve into a first-world economy - as well as tight political control.
