“ON HISTORY, MYTH-MAKING & TRUTH IN SINGAPORE” (feat. PJ Thum)
"WHAT IF THE PAST IS HOLDING SINGAPOREANS BACK?” (feat. Ariffin Sha)
This week, historian PJ Thum talks about who really gets to tell Singapore's story. His new book, The Albatross Files Unredacted, argues that LKY’s choices, not inevitability, drove separation from Malaysia. He talks POFMA, life in political exile in Manila, and the time his research gave an ex-detainee his dignity back.
In this episode, SDP’s very own candidate and criminal defense lawyer, Ariffin Sha, takes us behind the scenes of his transition from a 16 year old who started Wake Up Singapore to standing at the ballot box.
In this episode, we talk with two of our very own candidates, Jufri & Surayah, metal musicians who swapped the stage for the frontlines of politics. We explore the parallels between rocking out and running for office: the discipline of dissent, the rhythm of resistance, and what it takes to keep speaking up in a quiet society.
