Ong Ye Kung and now Desmond Choo....
By Andrea Ong
FORMER People's Action Party Hougang candidate Desmond Choo is leaving the labour movement for the private sector.
Mr Choo, 35, is the National Trades Union Congress' (NTUC) deputy director of industrial relations and the National Transport Workers' Union's (NTWU) deputy executive secretary. He will leave NTUC at the end of this month.
Yesterday, he told The Straits Times that resigning from the labour movement was not an easy decision and that he remains committed to workers' causes.
"But I thought that after spending most of my working life in the civil service and some of it in NTUC, I should get more exposure in the private sector," said the former police scholarship holder who joined NTUC in 2010. He has found a job in the private sector but declined to give more details.
