With cost-of-living concerns topping the list for many Singaporeans this election season, we dive into the economic debates shaping the political landscape. Joining us is Dr. Walter Theseira, Associate Professor at the Singapore University of Social Sciences, to break down the real impact of rising expenses — from everyday goods to housing and transport.

We explore whether direct cash transfers or a Goods and Services Tax (GST) reduction is more effective in easing the financial strain on households. Plus, we unpack how global economic instability — from trade tensions to inflationary pressures — may affect Singapore’s economic trajectory and voter sentiment.
