GE2025: What’s Really at Stake
1 May 2025 @ 11:30 am – 12:30 pm
| As Singapore heads toward its next General Election, the undercurrents of change, both subtle and significant, are beginning to surface. GE2025: What’s Really at Stake is a one-hour, no-holds-barred conversation featuring compelling voices from Singapore’s political and civic landscape, including Viswa Sadasivan and Inderjit Singh, who bring years of public service, business experience, and social insight to the table. This session will delve into the key issues expected to shape GE2025, from rising concerns around inequality and cost of living, to jobs, climate, and the expectations of a younger, more vocal electorate. It will examine how the political landscape is evolving, and reflect on how the social compact is being renegotiated; and how trust, transparency, and inclusive governance will define Singapore’s path forward. More than just a preview of the electoral season, this is a timely opportunity to unpack the deeper currents that may shape Singapore’s future — and to ask, together, what’s really at stake.
