As GE2025 hustings hit full swing, Lawrence Wong calls a rare press conference warning against race and religion in politics, though some headlines painted a murky picture. We dive into the real issues, including foreign interference concerns and how WP got dragged in. Plus, an SDP candidate referring to a teammate using a racial slur at a rally has sparked major online backlash - what happened and why this matters. We also recap our journey covering Aljunied GRC, Tampines, Pasir Ris, Changi and more, as the APolitical Party Bus tours Singapore’s east.
