DEPUTY Prime Minister (DPM) Tharman Shanmugaratnam has been conferred the Medal of Honour by the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) at the May Day Awards 2017 ceremony on May 13, in recognition of his exceptional contributions to the labour movement.
The Medal of Honour is widely known to be the highest of the May Day Awards.
From deepening tripartism to driving national initiatives to better the lives of workers, Mr Tharman has spearheaded several national schemes to support workers. As the chairman of the Economic Strategies Committee in 2009, he advocated the shift from quantity to quality growth in Singapore.
Mr Tharman, who is also the coordinating minister for economic and social policies, worked towards propelling tripartism in the key councils he chaired, such as the SkillsFuture Council and the National Productivity Council. He has also placed a high emphasis on ensuring that workers benefit from economic transformation. According to unionists, Mr Tharman has always been known to be unassuming and approachable.
Over the years, Mr Tharman has reinforced labour-management relations, and also contributed significantly to building a fair and inclusive workplace and society.
This Badge will pave the way for DPM Tharma for the No. 1 job next year (2017)
Past receipent dpm gct gone on to the no. 1 job.
No need to be sick. If you regard this award as being of little significance, it is not even news at all. 
You mean that 'crap seller', got a MEDAL OF HONOUR too?...A "MEDAL OF HONOUR" for helping old ladies crossing the road...gee!...that make PATTON & MACARTHUR insignificant...
What? Ownself award Ownself with the Highest award??
If other country like UK, USA or Europe award than I say "Great"!!
Just Like Media Corpse award their own half past six Star award!!
Can't even smell near Honkies and Taiwan what award??
So its Ownself award ownself!!
Too bad Tartman will never be PM eventhough he is popular...his race lets him down and Pinky does not trust him...but he might be the next nominated president in 6 years time

He deserves the award for his dedication to labor management relations and for contributing toward workers benefits through skills future council and National Productivity council.
He could be the next PM , but given the consensus by the PAP executive committee to bring on a younger minister to succeed LHL, he has graciously accepted the committee's decision. How else to honor and recognize him for his magnanimity other than to proffer him the highest award the Medal of Honor by NTUC labor movement ?
