The HARSH REALITY of Being A First-Time MP in SG…

Ep. 475

Feel like you “only see your MP once every 5 years”?? As part of a brand new series, we’re inviting politicians, elected or not, to have unfiltered conversations about the issues that shape our everyday lives.


Kicking things off with first-time MPs Cassandra Lee and Charlene Chen, we dig into what life is REALLY like after getting elected: The emotional highs and lows of Meet-the-People sessions, online allegations, quirky parliament rules, and what they hope to move the needle on!
