On today’s episode of GE Tonight, Joel Lim — host of The Political Prude — takes us through a refreshingly human side of the campaign trail. In a moment that broke through the usual talking points and political posturing, party leaders gave unexpected shoutouts to their wives, offering a glimpse into the personal lives behind the public personas. It was a rare pause in a high-stakes election season — and honestly, kind of sweet.
But it wasn’t all soft and sentimental. Over in a kopi shop somewhere in Singapore, PSP and PAP supporters faced off in a full-blown cheer battle that quickly became a viral moment. The energy? School camp flashbacks. The vibe? “The team that cheers the loudest eats first.”
Whether it was good-natured fun or an accidental metaphor for political hunger, it gave us all a much-needed laugh.
Joel unpacks it all with his signature blend of insight and humour — the campaign, one cheer at a time.
