Why SDP Could Win Bukit Panjang SMC This GE (ft. Dr Paul Tambyah)

Ep. 414

What makes a top infectious diseases expert walk away from medicine and straight into Singapore’s political ring?


In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Paul Tambyah, Chairman of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) and one of the country’s leading infectious diseases experts, for a fearless deep dive into healthcare, politics, and public service.


From why he deleted TikTok to whether Singapore is ready for a Pandemic 2.0, nothing is off the table. We unpack his entry into opposition politics, media bias, immigration, and even his mum’s role in shaping education policy for children with disabilities.


And yes, we ask him the million-dollar question: Should Chee Soon Juan step down already? 👀
