She said: "As an NTUC elected position, it is a position which stands independent of political appointments. The members of the NTUC central committee stand in unanimous support for Brother Ng Chee Meng as secretary-general of NTUC."

Don't understand the "independent of political appointments" bit. Cotton Chan, his predecessor was transferred from political appointment to NTUC and then back to political appointment. This brother was in the PM's office no less? How can that be independent?

Was this Brother also paid for his job in NTUC in addition to his ministerial salary? Good to know.

We all know that NTUC is not independent of PAP. NTUC is PAP! If you aren't a PAP leader, you have no business being a trade union leader for workers.

This Letchimi really epitomised what the term daft Sinkie is all about. It will be even better for our country's labour movement to have a chief that has no affiliation whatsoever to the ruling Party.
