Episode description

 Last Friday, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong released a video warning Singaporeans to brace for global economic instability in light of US-imposed tariffs. The 5-minute address sparked mixed reactions - some lauded the call for unity, others slammed it as vague and fear-mongering. We unpack what he actually said and how the opposition parties responded. Over the weekend, a community event in the East revealed a slew of new perks and grants available only to residents of the Marine Parade Cluster. Is this strategic support—or selective generosity in an election year?
