Singapore`s president dissolves parliament

Singapore`s president dissolved Singapore`s parliament Tuesday to prepare for early elections.

The office of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the polls will be held September 11, more than a year before the deadline.

Analysts say the People`s Action Party is riding the feel-good factor of the city-state`s 50th birthday.

The People`s Action Party was founded by the prime minister`s father, the late Lee Kuan Yew, and has ruled since six years before independence in 1965.
