In The Now - Episode 6: Politics
Recorded 6 November 2025
Episode Released on 18 December 2025
The Singapore Government announced in November their intention to gazette 38 Oxley Road as a national monument. To Singaporeans, this address was well known as the residence of former Prime Minister (PM) Lee Kuan Yew. This is the latest in a long-running episode regarding the future of the late Mr Lee's house.
Join us, Anelka, Luca, Nico and Wei Jie as we discuss the legacy of Mr Lee Kuan Yew and the possible next steps for the site.
During the break, tune in to Wei Jie's rant on co-curricular activites (CCA).
After, we pivot to ASEAN and Asia news as summit season wraps up in the region. We talk you through the multiple points that made the news from the ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and the APEC summit in Gyeongju, South Korea. Plus, we discuss the appointment of Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi (the first female PM of Japan), as well as the election of Zohran Mamdani in New York City. It's a jam-packed episode packed with politics for the political buffs and the curious. Happy listening!
EDITOR'S NOTE: This episode reflects the circumstances at recording in early November 2025 (6 November 2025). The team acknowledges since then, the situation has evolved, including the conflict between Cambodia and Thailand. We encourage you to keep this context in mind. The discussion reflects the news and information available at the time of recording. We left the episode as is to show how these matters were understood then.
