GE Tonight: Singing politicians—is Singapore laughing with them or at them?

As GE2025 heats up, online reactions are telling a story of their own. This episode dives into the buzz around the Workers’ Party’s apology for not contesting Marine Parade–Braddell Heights, Heng Swee Keat’s quiet departure from politics, and Joseph Schooling’s unexpected appearance with Edwin Tong at East Coast GRC. We also unpack the viral wave of politicians breaking into song—are these attempts at relatability resonating with the public, or missing the mark entirely?  Helping us make sense of it all is Joel Lim, host of The Political Prude, who brings sharp insight into how Singaporeans are reading between the lines—and the lyrics—this election season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
