Serious Bro Chun Sing Resigns After Being A Disruption! Ng Chee Meng Elected As New Chief! Congratulations!

SINGAPORE: Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Ng Chee Meng will be the new Secretary-General of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), the union said on Tuesday (May 22).

The committee unanimously on Tuesday elected Mr Ng, formerly the deputy secretary-general, as NTUC Secretary-General, a move that has been anticipated for some time.

Mr Ng, 49, was appointed deputy secretary-general and co-opted into the NTUC central committee on Apr 23.

"From May 1, he served the labour movement full time after relinquishing his appointments as Minister for Education (Schools) and Second Minister for Transport," NTUC said.

Mr Ng said in a Facebook post on Tuesday that NTUC will continue to strengthen the labour movement and work closely with its tripartite partners to build on the foundation laid by former labour chiefs.

NTUC said that its central committee has accepted former labour chief Chan Chun Sing's resignation and it takes effect on Tuesday. Mr Chan is the Minister for Trade and Industry, a portfolio he took up on May 1 following a Cabinet reshuffle.



He led NTUC for three years before stepping down.

Mr Chan, 48, said in his resignation letter that his work in the Ministry of Trade and Industry will be an extension of the work in NTUC.

"The labour movement will always have in me - a friend, a partner, and a supporter," he wrote.

He challenged NTUC to place "today's unemployed into tomorrow's jobs".

"Ultimately, the greatest achievement is to 'place tomorrow's unemployed into tomorrow's jobs'," he wrote.

Mr Chan later said on Facebook that he had a "fulfilling time" in NTUC over the past three years.

"Proud to be working together with NTUC President Mary Liew, the NTUC Central Committee and colleagues, as well as many of our sisters and brothers in the Labour Movement," Mr Chan said.

In a valedictory letter to Mr Chan, NTUC thanked him for his "invaluable contributions" in strengthening the labour movement.

"Brother Chun Sing, you 'disrupted' the labour movement and turned us into an unusual labour movement - one that is more representative and relevant to our working people, and one which can better serve and advance our working people's interests," said NTUC president Mary Liew in the letter.

Brother here and sister there. Incest and fornication is rampant amongst those people.

Endless rounds of self-congratulatory messages and pats on the backs for one another. Blowing their own trumpets for the past few days!

"Brother Chun Sing, you 'disrupted' the labour movement and turned us into an unusual labour movement - one that is more representative and relevant to our working people, and one which can better serve and advance our working people's interests," said NTUC president Mary Liew in the letter.

Before Chan Chun Sing, the NTUC labor movement was irrelevant to the working people. But he came in and disrupted the labor movement and now it becomes more representative and relevant to the working people.

Then, why do you change to Ng Chee Meng if Chan is so good ?

I smell insincerity whenever a lady calls another man " Brother ... " where there is no blood relation.

Communist naming.

I don't think these guys understand the meaning of 'disruption'.

Tesla is an industry disruptor, so is Netflix. Chan Chun Sing is only disrupting the peace and quiet!

He may not have the memorable catchphrases or decades of experience of his predecessor Lim Swee Say, but in his short stint as labour chief, Mr Chan Chun Sing has won over many unionists with his sharp intellect, friendly demeanour and confidence on stage, said those interviewed yesterday.

Mr Chan, the National Trades Union Congress' (NTUC) secretary-general for three years, will be leaving in the coming months to focus on his new role as Trade and Industry Minister.

Unionist Mohamad Nazir Sani of the Union of Power and Gas Employees said he was struck by Mr Chan's ability to listen to a crowd, taking in views and questions all at once, then distilling them and responding to issues raised - all without notes.

"It's a very impressive skill, and really shows what an organised and sharp thinker he is," he said.

At the May Day Rally yesterday, Mr Chan gave a 20-minute speech, also without detailed notes, using diagrams and jokes in his message.

Several unionists said he is warm and approachable on the ground too. "When he attends events, he rarely eats, he's always just talking to everyone in the room," said Mr Ken Tan, president of the Public Utilities Board Employees' Union.

Ms Noor Irdawaty Jammarudin, 35, from the Building Construction and Timber Industries Employees' Union, said Mr Chan's relaxed demeanour allowed even younger unionists like herself to feel comfortable joking around with him. "Mr Lim is someone we really look up to, like a father figure, whom we see more as a teacher or mentor. But Mr Chan is more of a brother and friend."

Mr Liaw Chin Chog of the Amalgamated Union of Statutory Board Employees added that Mr Chan has made his mark at NTUC in subtle but important ways.

He said: "We used to hold a big ceremony for our annual May Day Awards. Now, we have a much simpler affair, because he said it's very important for NTUC to be a good steward of finances."

More importantly, said all the unionists interviewed, Mr Chan's legacy will be the suite of training initiatives he pushed for, to encourage workers to upgrade their skills. They include the Union Training Assistance Programme to defray training costs for union members, and the Career Activation Programme, which supports unemployed professionals, managers and executives.

Mr Liaw said: "He really put in a lot of effort to push this message of how important it is for workers to retrain and reskill. That is his legacy."
