SDP is wasting no time. Just two weeks after GE2025, they launched a petition to reform elections, unveiled a new social co-op to rival NTUC, and introduced a youth-led renewal campaign. But does it feel premature—or even too self-promotional? We discuss the optics and potential of their big moves. Then, we dive into Singapore’s new “Go 25” aircon campaign launched by Senior Minister of State Amy Khor, urging everyone to set their thermostats to 25°C.

The Su Haijin dinner saga continues to escalate as Ministers Ong Ye Kung & Chee Hong Tat lawyer up over online accusations, businessman Sam Goi takes ownership of organising the dinners, and Ho Ching defends all of them! The drama continues to raise questions about transparency and the “Rules of Prudence” written by SM Lee Hsien Loong himself when he was PM in 2020. Elsewhere inn Boon Tiong, residents revolt against their HDB’s bold new purple paint job, and the backlash sparks a rethink on how much say Singaporeans should have over public spaces.

Days after GE2025, a dinner photo featuring Ng Chee Meng, Su Haijin (a convicted money launderer), and billionaire Sam Goi surfaced online - raising eyebrows and trust issues. While Ong Ye Kung and Chee Hong Tat responded quickly, Ng Chee Meng’s delayed statement came off vague and defensive. Even weirder, he “asked” PM Wong to not consider him for a cabinet position. Why does this incident matter? What does it say about how the new government will handle accountability? And are the public’s standards for transparency rising faster than the system can handle?

PM Lawrence Wong joins us in-studio to reflect on leadership, trust, and where Singapore goes next. He shares how he’s different from past PMs, addresses the impact of controversies on public trust, and explains why losing 3-4 Cabinet ministers would weaken his team. We also discuss opposition accountability, policy packaging, and why Singapore can have and needs “radical change” - even from within.This was recorded on 29 Apr, 2025.

It's gonna be epic!At a high-stakes PAP rally, Ng Chee Meng finally addressed the NTUC Income–Allianz controversy—but needed backup from Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong to frame it as a story of good faith, not mismanagement. SM Lee also took shots at some of WP’s claims about NTUC as well as the role of the opposition. Meanwhile, SDP’s Gigine Wong & the rest of the SDP team issued a public apology after her racial slur during a rally speech, but questions linger about vetting and damage control.
