GE2025 funny moments
It’s that time again when we need to exercise our rights as Singaporean citizens to vote in a new government. Whatever your political leaning, the Singapore General Elections never fail to bring on the laughs to take away from the seriousness of choosing who leads the country. If you’ve been missing out, here are the top funny moments from GE2025 that’ll have you chortling in your sleep.
1. Actor, host, voiceover artist… Or just Hazlinda?
@straitstimes No cap, PAP’s Hazlina Abdul Halim used “besties”, “glow up” and “you do you” at the party’s #GE2025 lunchtime rally on Monday. 👀
The GE2025 has been a roundup of chiobus and oppas, but looks aside, one voice definitely stands out from the crowd: newbie on the PAP block Hazlinda Abdul Halim, whose smooth speech peppered with Gen Z lingo has surely won plenty over.
Okay lah, it’s not that she was born with it – Hazlinda presented the Malay news on TV for 15 years. People got train for this one, ok?
2. Look left look right, look left look right – DJ remix
@kavok_official I look LEFT look RIGHT #sg #remix #fyp #nightlife
Step aside, APT., this is the remix you’re going to be hearing at all the clubs for a while, whether you’re looking left or right. If there was a catch phrase by which everyone is going to remember GE2025 by, this is it.
I mean, it was so funny, even PM Wong’s friend DPM Gan hopped on the bandwagon.
3. Got it, you’re straight
@sgprimememesters In case you weren’t clear, PPP’s Goh Meng Seng is straight, he is not gay, and he is not interested in Pritam Singh. #GE2025
So many things we could unpack from this. Read: overexplaining. Read: the illusion of truth. But don’t worry, Mr Goh, we heard you loud and clear. You’re straightforward, you’re straight, and you aren’t buddies with Pritam Singh. Message received.
4. Vanakkam. Nangal Bernadette.
@able_sgproperties 🇸🇬 PAP’s Sengkang Team: Demonstrating Dedication and Inclusivity • Authentic Engagement: Bernadette Giam, newly appointed Chairperson of PAP’s Sengkang East branch, delivered a speech in Tamil, reflecting the team’s commitment to connecting with diverse communities. • Youthful Leadership: The Sengkang team comprises dynamic individuals like Bernadette Giam, Associate Professor Elmie Nekmat, and Ms. Theodora Lai, showcasing a blend of experience and fresh perspectives. • Community-Centric Approach: The team’s efforts, including multilingual outreach, signify their dedication to serving all residents of Sengkang GRC with sincerity and preparedness. • Beyond Parliamentary Seats: Voting for the PAP team in Sengkang is not just about electing MPs; it’s about endorsing a vision of inclusive progress and community empowerment. ⸻ #SengkangGRC #GE2025 #BernadetteGiam #PAPSengkang #InclusiveLeadership #TamilSpeech #YouthInPolitics #SingaporeElections #CommunityFirst #VoteForProgress
Not only is GE2025 shaping up to be Singapore’s Got Talent: GE Edition, it’s also turning out to be a great ad for Duolingo – PSA to Duolingo: please sponsor our politicians for GE2030?
5. Let’s shake on it

A handshake tells a thousand tales – there are bone-crushing ones that are a show of strength, limp ones that reek of hesitance, and then there’s this ultra-friendly handshake on the Punggol walkabout between chiobu Alexis Dang and a lucky Punggol resident. Best friends at the playground vibes, anyone?
6. Dad brain is real too
Ask any new mother about the fourth trimester which nobody talks about. It’s a blur of changing nappies and feeding and pumping and mum brain. But dad brain is real too, and the science backs it up. Is it a job? Is it a slot? We hope NSP candidate Zee Phay gets in some proper ZZZ’s when baby secures a spot in infant care.
7. Bro got confused
@aloytc26 #tiktoksg #sgtv #sgnews #mediacorp #sgelections #generalelection #electionrally #oppositionparty #joker #mispronoucingwords #laughs #2025 Opposition party candidate mispronunced his party as PAP ruling party
Undercover spy? Freudian slip? We let you decide. But that was a good save 🫡.
8. 44-hour work weeks kill
@diusingapore I dunno he gong simi leh. #sgtiktok #tiktoksg #fypsg #singapore #diusingapore #GE2025
This is an open plea to all employers: scrap the 44-hour work week, bring on the 4-day work week. We’re working so hard that we have no time to boost the falling birth rates in Singapore.
9. SG got talent
Hey Simon Cowell, we think you need to look this way. There’s nothing like a GE to bring out all the hidden talent from behind closed doors. We’ve got beatboxers, silat performers, vocal jazz – you name it. Here’s the encore.
10. But still waters run deep
SDP candidate Gigene Wong may at this moment be better known for other things, but let’s not forget her science lesson on how bugs and mozzies reproduce. And her warning about mozzies biting us and sucking our blood. Much drama, very scared.
11. We will take it back 💪🏻
Brings back memories of project work in school when we kenna forced to do project with our ex-best friends. That’s why we got D lor.
12. Singaporeans very breast indeed
We got mehni choi-gers & we can mek ou-wer own de-zee-zhuns. Tutu(kueh)? Got kwuehshun?
These are the funniest moments from GE2025
Fun and jokes aside, we don’t condone being mean (or racist). Vote with intention, y’all, and have a happy polling day this 3rd May.
For other non GE2025-related laughs:
- Memorable NDP moments that make us so uniquely Singaporean
- Ranking SM Lee’s shirts based on colour
- The “magic cups” of SM Lee
