NTUC should align with Singaporeans, not the PAP: Gerald Giam

Nothing wrong with ruling party having a partnership with the worker's union, which is common in other countries. But in a typical organizational partnership, there is mere sharing of strategic and investment interests with each entity still retaining their own independence of governance whereby little or no staffs are involved with each entity's governance.

The relationship between NTUC and PAP goes beyond a mere 'symbiotic partnership' (As of 2017, there were 71 PAP Members of Parliament (MPs) who were also advisers to the unions under NTUC, and that some of them were involved in governance of the unions). Not forgetting a recent loser minister who lost a GRC then straight away parachute into NTUC to become their Sec-gen, siao. Such an arrangement already stinks beyond reasonableness.

The whole farking relationship becomes more like a PAP complete acquisition or merger with NTUC with little independence of governance.
It's like NTUC is completely be choked off to always align with PAP's party agenda. This is despite their ranjiao argument that NTUC has been raising worker's issues which are also not approved by PAP or take years for approval for e.g. on unemployment insurance/benefits etc. to show their 'independence' but is pure nonsense. This is like ownself creating a separate business unit to argue with ownself to appear 'independent', LOL.

But with PAP continue to be voted into power GE after GE, this ridiculous nonsense 'partnership' will never stop.

Most important thing is blank cheque already given for 4 years going to due soon, let's see if the kum gong voters will wake up.

Else, there is nothing much we can do except to be arse-farked by the PAP-Gov for another 4 years, LOL.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Pope Francis on Thursday urged political leaders in Singapore, a leading global financial hub, to seek fair wages for the country's million-plus lower-paid foreign workers.

In likely the last major speech of an ambitious 12-day tour across Southeast Asia and Oceania, the 87-year-old pontiff expressed concern for Singapore's rapidly ageing population and its migrant workforce, centred in the construction and domestic services industries.

"I hope that special attention will be paid to the poor and the elderly ... as well as to protecting the dignity of migrant workers," the pope said in an address to about 1,000 politicians and civil and religious leaders.

"These workers contribute a great deal to society and should be guaranteed a fair wage," he said.

There were 1.1 million foreigners on work permits in Singapore who earned less than S$3,000 ($2,300) per month as of December 2023, including 286,300 domestic workers and 441,100 workers in the construction, shipyard and process sectors, government data shows.

Many of the migrant workers come from nearby countries such as Malaysia, China, Bangladesh and India. Many also come from the Philippines, a majority Catholic country.

NTUC should be disbanded, or at the very least be relegated to an oversight organization of various unions based on professions and industries.

For example, tech workers union, service workers union, teachers union, healthcare workers union etc.

All unions to be highly autonomous and have the legitimate power to go on strikes. Don't let LKY or the PAP sycophants gaslight you into believing that is not good.

And no govt official in those unions, especially those shameless ones who lost an election and use NTUC as a soft landing pad. This should never be allowed to happen.

Gerald talks like it is the first day he knows PAP. :rolleyes::devilish::roflmao:
Because the house speaker, also PAP MPs, set stringent protocol for opposition to speak in a manner not to hurt PAP sensitive feelings. Otherwise, they will be PFOMAed, forced to make public apology and eventually sued and brought in front of the Kangaroo for boxing.
