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.
