Episode Synopsis
★ Our GE2025 Plans!! ★Sign up for our newsletter at https://www.yahlahbut.com to find out firsthand where we'll be during each day of the campaigning period. 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. Plus, we continue our APolitical Party Bus journey through Tanjong Pagar, Radin Mas, Queenstown, and Bishan–Toa Payoh as GE2025 hustings intensify.🚍 Want to know where we’re heading next?
