Popular Singaporean podcast Yah Lah But is taking a novel approach to the upcoming General Election 2025 (GE2025) by launching the APolitical Party Bus, a mobile podcast studio.
From 24 April, hosts Haresh Tilani and Terence Chia will release daily episodes recorded across all 33 Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs) and Single Member Constituencies (SMCs) in Singapore. This initiative aims to bring transparency, humour, and authentic local voices to the national conversation.
The APolitical Party Bus will serve as a platform for unfiltered discussions, capturing the on-ground sentiment and offering listeners a real-time pulse of the election atmosphere. “We’re not affiliated with any political party. This is our way of giving Singaporeans the mic whilst bringing a touch of good ol’ humour to election coverage,” said co-host Terence Chia.
Supported by fintech platform Lendela, the campaign seeks to promote transparency and balanced discourse. Bryan Tay, Singapore country manager at Lendela, emphasised the importance of transparent discourse, stating, “It’s more important than ever for Singaporeans to engage in transparent discourse and expect clear answers.”
The Yah Lah But APolitical Party Bus will cover 33 constituencies, with episodes available on Spotify, YouTube, and other major podcast platforms. As the bus traverses Singapore, it will provide a platform for all perspectives to be heard, helping Singaporeans make informed decisions in an uncertain world.
