What 'labour movement' is there in Sinkieland? Those NTUC goons are not it.
NTUC sells the snake oil of 'tripartism'.
SAF/Mindef sells the snake oil of 'operational readiness'.
And in case you haven't noticed already, the PAP is fond of replenishing its ranks with people from the NTUC and the SAF. And those people usually get promoted the fastest.
