PAP sec-gen Lawrence Wong says GE2025 was not landslide victory, had tough fights | Full speech

The People’s Action Party’s (PAP) secretary-general Lawrence Wong said on Sunday (Nov 9) that the 2025 general election was not a landslide victory for the party, and it faced “very ...tough fights” in several constituencies.

In its first general election under Mr Wong's leadership, the PAP won 87 out of 97 seats and increased its vote share from 61.2 per cent to 65.57 per cent in May.

"Just a small swing against the PAP, and the results would have been very different," he said. "And if that had happened, the mood at today’s party convention would be very different." Read more: https://cna.asia/482IrbH

Gaza’s journalists under fire: Families demand justice for those killed

Throughout the war in Gaza - Palestinian journalists have played a vital role, bearing witness to a genocide. Media workers on the front lines, documenting every atrocity, have paid ...a high price though—to ensure the truth endures. The UN says the Israeli military has killed at least 248 journalists in Gaza since October the 7th, 2023. Israeli attacks have claimed the lives of 11 Al Jazeera journalists. So far, there has been no accountability for any of these deaths. Mariam Abu Daqqa was killed in August when the Israeli military bombed Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. Her father says she should have been protected. This is his story.
