In this special episode, we sit down with Hazel Poa, Non-Constituency MP from the Progress Singapore Party (PSP), to discuss her unexpected journey into opposition politics, her views on Singapore’s leadership, and why she believes education reform is key to the country’s future. We cover everything from the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) report, to why she thinks the GRC system should be abolished, to how Singaporeans can take more control of their own lives, starting with the upcoming elections.
