NTUC secretary-general Ng Chee Meng, DPM Lawrence Wong, PM Lee Hsien Loong and NTUC president K. Thanaletchimi at the annual May Day Rally on May 1.
In his half-hour opening address, Mr Ng said DPM Wong had touched the hearts of many union leaders when he said the National Trades Union Congress is the most important partner of the Government at the closing event of the #EveryWorkerMatters Conversations in 2023. It was also seen in the key decisions made during the Covid-19 crisis to protect workers and their livelihoods through measures such as the Jobs Growth Incentive scheme.
“Yet under your leadership, tripartite partners have forged together win-win-win outcomes for economic growth, better lives and livelihoods, and, most critically, to build Singapore into the First World country that we are today,” Mr Ng said.
