With high stakes in the upcoming general election in 2025, Singapore risks ending up with a much weaker government if there is a modest swing in popular votes against the ruling party.

Speaking at the party conference over the weekend, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong says that the People’s Action Party can no longer 'afford to stay in the background'. To that end, he stressed that the party has to come out to explain policies and mobilise citizens for the causes that PAP believes in, and to engage Singaporeans on the issues they care about, and importantly, to show them why they can trust and depend on the PAP to provide the leadership for Singapore.

On Part One of this episode of Morning Shot, Eugene Tan, Associate Professor of Law, Yong Pung How School of Law, Singapore Management University, and Dr Mustafa Izzudin, Senior International Affairs Analyst, Solaris Strategies Singapore share their insights.
