Results for presidential and parliamentary elections. However data is just in form of tables in HTML (with not especially good structuring). As such marking machine-readable and bulk as No. Not openly licensed as terms of use page (http://www.eld.gov.sg/terms.html) has non-commercial restriction: "Materials, including source code, pages, documents and online graphics, audio and video in The Website are protected by law.

The URL does not lead directly to the data, it is required to manually locate the Air Pollution data (for instance via the site map). Pollutants data seems to only be available in simple html, and is therefore not machine readable nor available in bulk. Some entries (for instance Sulphur Dioxide SO2 Emission Inventory) show numbers from 2010, so not deemed up-to-date either.
