GE2025 delivered a strong mandate for Lawrence Wong and the 4G team — but what made it possible? And what does the result really say about the electorate’s mood and Singapore’s political future?

In this review roundtable of our GE coverage, we’re joined by a powerhouse panel:
🎙 Nicholas Fang, Managing Director of Black Dot and former Nominated Member of Parliament
🎙 Dr. Reuben Ng, Assistant Professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy
🎙 Dr. Felix Tan, Political Lecturer at Nanyang Technological University

Together, we unpack everything from the shifting middle ground to the PAP’s improved showing in East Coast, the nail-biting save in Pasir Ris-Punggol, and the opposition’s underwhelming performance in Punggol and Tampines GRCs.

We ask: Did the Workers’ Party miss a key opportunity? Who should they nominate for NCMP in Tampines? Will Jalan Kayu remain an SMC? And why hasn’t the PAP managed to win back any lost GRCs?

Plus: the fading presence of legacy opposition figures, the rise of independents, and why viral popularity on social media still doesn’t equate to votes. We wrap with a look ahead to GE2030 — and one reform each of us hopes to see before then.
