It's gonna be epic!After 30 years in opposition politics, Dr. Chee Soon Juan is still in the fight. In this candid, wide-ranging interview, the Secretary-General of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) discusses why he’s contesting again, his thoughts on cost-of-living issues, and how mainstream media unfairly shaped public perception of him, and how social media changed everything for opposition parties. We talk about fear, failure, fatherhood, and why he’s contesting in an SMC and not a GRC. We also cover his strategy for GE2025, how does he handle political disagreements at home, and what’s his message to first-time voters.(00:00) Our GE2025 Plans(00:50) Intro(02:20) Election Strategy and Challenges(07:08) National Issues and Public Sentiment(16:03) Reflections on Media, Image and Political Landscape(21:00) Cafe Business and Personal Insights(24:15) Voting Process and Public Perception(27:50) Why Contest in SMC?(34:27) Graduate Mothers Scheme & Early Political Involvement(36:43) Independent Newspapers and Social Engineering(37:22) Joining Politics and PAP Reflections(40:37) SDP's Ideals(48:42) Opposition Role and Policies(59:14) Singapore's Place in New World Order(01:03:48) Navigating Modern Challenges(01:09:32) Youth Engagement and Pesonal Growth(01:12:37) One Shiok ThingFind Dr Chee Soon Juan Here!Home - Singapore Democratic PartyDr Chee on FacebookDr Chee on InstagramOne Shiok ThingBlack Mirror: Season 7 | Official TrailerMission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning | Official TrailerEast Coast Park MapComment on this episode!Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/YahLahBut/Telegram: https://t.me/YahLahButPodcastFollow us on our socials for the latest newsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahlahbutIG: https://www.instagram.com/yahlahbut/FB: https://www.facebook.com/yahlahbutpodMics and Headphones from @shureChairs from @ergotunechairEdited and mixed by Tristen Yeak Hosted on Acast.

Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
