GE2025: PPP's Goh Meng Seng says voters need to ‘teach PAP a good lesson'
Follow our live coverage here.
SINGAPORE - The PAP is holding voters hostage with the group representation constituency system, and the loss of 'more ministers' in this election may nudge the ruling party to revamp this system, Mr Goh Meng Seng said on May 1.
'Do not be gaslit by their formula: 'Oh I lose a few ministers, I cannot work',' he said at his party's rally in Tampines.
'It is their own doing, because they use the GRC system.'
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong had said during this election campaign that losing ministers would weaken the Government, urging voters to think about Singapore's future.
Mr Goh said: 'When (the GRC system) fails and it threatens their position, they turn around and tell you… 'You cannot vote against me, or else we die, you die'. Is that a responsible Government?'
While Mr Goh acknowledged that 'PAP is still good in a certain sense', he said that 'we need to teach the PAP a good lesson in politics', so that the ruling party may adjust the GRC system to 'proportional representation'.

REUTERS/Remo Casilli/File photo The chief of staff of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday that work was underway on establishing the military component of security guarantees for Ukraine as part of a settlement of the war with Russia. "Our teams, above all the military, have already begun active work on the military component of security guarantees," Andriy Yermak wrote in English on the X social platform after a meeting of national security advisers from Western countries and NATO. Yermak said Ukraine was also working on a plan with its allies on how to proceed "in case the Russian side continues to prolong the war and disrupt agreements on bilateral and trilateral formats of leaders' meetings." A Western official had earlier told Reuters that a small group of military leaders was continuing discussions in Washington to work out options for security guarantees for Ukraine after the conclusion of a bigger virtual meeting.

Texas Republicans set to approve Trump-backed congressional map to protect party's US House majority
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox The new Texas map is aimed at flipping five Democratic-held US House seats in the 2026 midterm elections. AUSTIN, Texas - Texas legislators on Aug 20 took up a new state congressional map intended to flip five Democratic-held US House seats in the 2026 midterm elections, after dozens of Democratic lawmakers ended a two-week walkout that had temporarily blocked passage. Republican legislators, who have dominated Texas politics for over two decades, have undertaken a rare mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump, who is seeking to improve his party's odds of preserving its narrow US House of Representatives majority amid political headwinds. The map, which should easily pass the Texas House by a simple majority vote but will have to be reconciled with the state Senate's version, has triggered a national redistricting war, with governors of both parties threatening to initiate similar efforts in other states. Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom is advancing an effort to redraw his state's map to flip five Republican seats. Democratic-controlled California is the nation's most populous state while Republican-led Texas is the second most populous. The Texas map would shift conservative voters into districts currently held by Democrats and combine some districts that Democrats hold. Other Republican states - including Ohio, Florida, Indiana and Missouri - are moving forward with or considering their own redistricting efforts, as are Democratic states such as Maryland and Illinois. Redistricting typically occurs every 10 years after the US Census to account for population changes, and mid-decade redistricting has historically been unusual. In many states, lawmakers manipulate the lines to favour their party over the opposition, a practice known as gerrymandering. Texas Democrats on Aug 20 raised multiple objections to and questions about the measure, slowing debate. Democratic Representative Chris Turner introduced an amendment to kill the Bill, which did not pass. He said from the House floor that the redistricting Bill was an 'illegal and racially discriminatory Congressional map.' 'This body has no business passing it,' Mr Turner said. 'This is unprecedented and it is wrong.' Republican legislators in Texas have undertaken a rare mid-decade redistricting at the behest of US President Donald Trump.

Mr Turner was among the Democrats who fled the state earlier this month to deny the Texas House a quorum. In response, Republicans undertook extraordinary measures to try to force the Democrats home, including filing lawsuits to remove them from office and issuing arrest warrants. The walkout ended when Democrats voluntarily returned on Aug 18, saying they had accomplished their goals of blocking a vote during a first special legislative session and persuading Democrats in other states to take retaliatory steps. Republican House leadership assigned state law enforcement officers to monitor Democrats to ensure they would not leave the state again. One Democratic representative, Ms Nicole Collier, slept in the Capitol building on Aug 18 rather than accept a police escort. Republicans, including Mr Trump, have openly acknowledged that the new map is aimed at increasing their political power. The party currently controls 25 of the state's 38 districts under a Republican-drawn map that was passed four years ago. Democrats and civil rights groups have said the new map dilutes the voting power of racial minorities in violation of federal law and have vowed to sue. Nationally, Republicans captured the 435-seat US House in 2024 by only three seats. The party of the president historically loses House seats in the first midterm election, and Mr Trump's approval ratings have sagged since he took office in January. REUTERS

Jeffrey Epstein grand jury records to remain sealed, US judge rules
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Judge Richard Berman said the material paled in comparison to the trove of records the government has about the case but is not releasing. NEW YORK - A US judge denied on Aug 20 the Justice Department's bid to unseal records from the grand jury that indicted the late financier Jeffrey Epstein on sex trafficking charges, saying the material paled in comparison to the trove of records the government has about the case but is not releasing. Manhattan-based US District Judge Richard Berman's decision came as President Donald Trump has sought to quell discontent from his conservative base of supporters over his administration's decision not to release files of the case. The judge wrote that it would be more logical for the government to directly release the vast amount of information it has collected from its investigation into Epstein than to petition the court to release the more limited grand jury materials, whose secrecy is protected by law. 'The Government's 100,000 pages of Epstein files and materials dwarf the 70 odd pages of Epstein grand jury materials,' Judge Berman wrote. 'The grand jury testimony is merely a hearsay snippet of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged conduct.' The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mr Trump, a Republican, had campaigned for a second term in 2024 with promises to make public Epstein-related files, and accused Democrats of covering up the truth. But in July, the Justice Department declined to release any more material from its investigation of the case and said a previously touted Epstein client list did not exist, angering Mr Trump's supporters.

In July, Mr Trump instructed Attorney-General Pam Bondi to seek court approval for the release of grand jury material from Epstein's case. The grand jury that indicted Epstein heard from just one witness, an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Justice Department said in a court filing in July. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. He had pleaded not guilty. His death in jail and his friendships with the wealthy and powerful sparked conspiracy theories that other prominent people were involved in his alleged crimes and that he was murdered. The New York City chief medical examiner determined that Epstein's death was a suicide by hanging. On Aug 11, a different Manhattan-based judge, Paul Engelmayer, denied a similar request by the Justice Department to unseal grand jury testimony and exhibits from the case of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's longtime girlfriend. Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence following her 2021 conviction for recruiting underage girls for Epstein to abuse. Judge Engelmayer wrote that the public would not learn anything new from the release of materials from Maxwell's grand jury because much of the evidence was made public at her month-long trial four years earlier. The grand jury testimony contained no evidence of others besides Epstein and Maxwell who had sexual contact with minors, Judge Engelmayer wrote. Maxwell had pleaded not guilty. After losing an appeal, she has asked the US Supreme Court to review her case. In July, a Florida judge rejected the administration's request to unseal grand jury records from federal investigations there into Epstein in 2005 and 2007. Epstein served a 13-month sentence after pleading guilty in 2008 to a state-level prostitution charge as part of a deal now widely regarded as too lenient. REUTERS
