With PhD student Joel Yew (The University of Texas at Austin), we discuss the record number of vacancies in parliament as well as his research on the parliamentary representation of marginalised communities in Singapore. We also briefly explore the political and electoral aftermath of the government’s repeal of Section 377A of the penal code. Joel was previously on this podcast in 2020, sharing about CAPE, or the Community for Advocacy and Political Education.
