May Day Messages
“Together, we have created today’s Singapore, through
grit, determination and hard work. But we are still a
tiny multi-racial, multi-religious country in the middle
of Southeast Asia. We still need to make a living for
ourselves, and to keep Singapore safe for our families.
If we continue to work together as one Singapore
team, we will surely succeed in moving forward as a
competitive economy and an inclusive society.”

May Day Message 2007
Lee Hsien Loong
Prime Minister, Singapore
Work Together As
One Singapore Team
The economy has done very well in the
last three years. The growth was broadbased, benefiting all sectors. Many jobs
were created – 176,000 last year alone.
I expect the strong momentum to
continue, with the economy growing
at a healthy 4.5 per cent to 6.5 per cent
this year. Our investment pipeline is
strong, and we are bringing in major new
projects: In tourism, semi-conductors,
petrochemicals and other areas. The
financial sector is doing particularly well.
All this will create many new and betterpaying jobs for Singaporeans.
But in this competitive globalised
world, the pressure is relentless. The
pace of change is not slowing down.
Companies have many options to
locate their new investments. When
the Economic Development Board
approaches them, they compare what
Singapore has with the best of what
other countries are offering. When I meet
investors, they ask me where Singapore
is headed, how we see our future, and
4Message.indd 9
4/23/07 10:38:52 PM
10 MAY DAY MESSAGE 2007
how we plan to stay competitive over the
long term. Hence, while our prospects
are bright, we must never become
complacent or let our guard down.
The Government will continue to
create opportunities for Singaporeans to
strive and succeed in this environment.
One top priority is to equip all workers for
the new jobs. This means skills upgrading
to keep pace with changing industry
demands, and skills conversion to take
on new job opportunities. Learning
and re-learning is a continuous process
for all levels of the workforce. We are
targeting lower-skilled workers because
they are the most vulnerable. But we are
also helping professionals, managers,
executives and technicians to upgrade
and adapt, and find jobs in new industries.
We will continue to re-design jobs,
re-skill workers, and upgrade productivity,
to enhance wages progressively and
sustainably. Besides, with flexible wages,
when companies do well in a strong
economy, workers can enjoy higher
bonus payments.
For low-wage workers, Workfare will
4Message.indd 10
4/23/07 10:38:55 PM
supplement their incomes and savings.
This Labour Day, workers will receive the
second payment of the Workfare Bonus;
they received the first payment last
Labour Day. In this year’s Budget, we have
institutionalised the Workfare Income
Supplement as a fourth pillar of our
social security system. This is a major step
forward. Low-wage workers, both formal
and informal, can look forward to their
first WIS payment on 1 January 2008.
Workers in the middle- and higherincome groups also have something
to look forward to – the 1.5 percentage
point increase in the employer Central
Provident Fund contribution rate. This
will add to their savings, and help many
to pay for their mortgages and medical
needs.
Looking ahead, one major longterm challenge is the rapid ageing of
our population. As more Singaporeans
retire, their financial security becomes an
important concern, both for them and
for the country. Our CPF system provides
a basic retirement pension for the vast
majority of Singaporeans. But we are
4Message.indd 11
studying ways to enable CPF members to
earn higher returns, so as to improve their
retirement adequacy.
We also need to prepare holistically for
an ageing workforce. This means updating
the skills of older workers, making our
workplace more elderly friendly and
implementing more flexible employment
terms. The key goal is to enable workers
to work longer and retire later. Then they
can stay active and healthy, and save
more for old age. We need fundamental
mindset changes on the part of workers,
employers, and the Government. We
should see this demographic shift not as a
liability but as creating new opportunities
which we should take full advantage of.
Tackling these and other challenges
demands an outstanding team of
leaders, who are not just capable and
competent, but also committed and
dedicated to Singapore. They must have
the right values, and the passion to serve
Singaporeans and improve your lives.
We need such leaders in every segment
of our society – in government, to
formulate the right policies for the overall
11
good of the country; in the unions, to
champion the wellbeing of workers in
an intelligent and enlightened way; and
in the companies, to take a long-term
perspective of their business, treat their
employees fairly, and provide for their
career needs. Our system has produced
this, and we must ensure that it continues
to do so.
Most of all, we must consolidate the
tripartite partnership built up over the
years. Together, we have created today’s
Singapore, through grit, determination
and hard work. But we are still a tiny
multi-racial, multi-religious country in
Southeast Asia. We still need to make a
living for ourselves, and to keep Singapore
safe for our families. Therefore, we must
strengthen the trust and confidence
in one another, and continue to work
together as one Singapore team.
On this Labour Day, let us renew
our commitment to maintain a strong
tripartite partnership, to succeed as a
competitive economy and an inclusive
society, and so to secure a bright and
enduring future for all of us.

Amanat Hari Buruh 2007
Lee Hsien Loong
Perdana Menteri Singapura
Bekerjasama Sebagai
Satu Pasukan Singapura
Ekonomi kita telah menunjukkan prestasi
yang sangat baik dalam tiga tahun yang
lepas. Pertumbuhan telah berlaku dalam
semua bidang dan ia memanfaatkan
semua sektor. Banyak pekerjaan telah
diwujudkan – 176,000 pada tahun lepas
sahaja.
Saya menjangkakan bahawa
momentum yang kuat ini akan berjalan
terus, dan ekonomi akan tumbuh
dengan sihat pada tahun ini pada kadar
4.5 peratus hingga 6.5 peratus. Kita
terus menarik banyak pelaburan, dan
kita membawa masuk projek-projek
baru yang besar: Dalam pelancongan,
semikonduktor, petrokimia dan
4Message.indd 12
bidang-bidang lain. Sektor kewangan
menunjukkan prestasi yang sangat baik.
Semua ini akan mewujudkan banyak
pekerjaan baru dan perkerjaan yang
memberi gaji yang lebih tinggi untuk
rakyat Singapura.
Tetapi, dalam dunia global yang
bersaing ini, tekanan berlaku tak hentihenti. Perubahan bertambah ligat.
Syarikat-syarikat mempunyai banyak
pilihan tentang di mana mereka
mahu menempatkan pelaburan baru
mereka. Apabila Lembaga Kemajuan
Ekonomi berjumpa mereka, mereka
membandingkan apa yang terdapat
di Singapura dengan tawaran terbaik
4/23/07 10:39:15 PM
daripada negara-negara lain. Apabila
saya berjumpa pelabur, mereka bertanya
saya ke mana arah tuju Singapura, apa
pandangan kita tentang masa depan kita,
dan bagaimana kita merancang untuk
kekal bersaing dalam jangka panjang.
Oleh itu, walau pun harapan kita cerah,
kita tidak harus berasa puas hati atau leka.
Pemerintah akan terus mewujudkan
peluang-peluang untuk membolehkan
rakyat Singapura berusaha dan berjaya
dalam sekitaran ini. Satu keutamaan
penting kita adalah melengkapkan
semua pekerja untuk pekerjaanpekerjaan baru. Ini bermakna
meningkatkan kemahiran agar para
pekerja dapat memenuhi permintaan
industri yang sentiasa berubah, dan
menukar kemahiran mereka supaya
mereka dapat memanfaatkan peluangpeluang pekerjaan baru. Belajar dan
belajar semula adalah proses yang
berterusan bagi setiap lapisan tenaga
kerja. Sasaran kita adalah pekerja-pekerja
berkemahiran rendah kerana mereka
merupakan golongan yang mudah sekali
terjejas dengan perubahan itu. Tetapi kita
juga membantu golongan profesional,
pengurus, eksekutif dan teknisyen
untuk meningkatkan kemahiran
dan menyesuaikan diri, dan mencari
4Message.indd 13
pekerjaan dalam industri-industri baru.
Kita akan meneruskan usaha untuk
mereka semula pekerjaan, menyiapkan
pekerja dengan kemahiran baru dan
meningkatkan daya penghasilan untuk
menaikkan gaji secara berperingkatperingkat dan kekal. Di samping itu,
dengan gaji yang fleksibel, apabila
syarikat-syarikat menunjukkan prestasi
yang baik semasa ekonomi kukuh, para
pekerja boleh menikmati bayaran bonus
yang lebih tinggi.
Untuk pekerja yang bergaji rendah,
Daya Kerja akan menambah pendapatan
dan simpanan mereka. Pada Hari
Buruh ini, para pekerja akan menerima
bayaran kedua bagi Bonus Daya Kerja
mereka – mereka telah menerima
bayaran pertama pada Hari Buruh
tahun lalu. Dalam Belanjawan tahun
ini, kita telah menginstitusikan Skim
Tambahan Pendapatan Daya Kerja (WIS)
sebagai tunggak keempat dalam sistem
keselamatan sosial kita. Ini adalah satu
langkah ke depan yang besar. Pekerjapekerja bergaji rendah, baik rasmi dan
yang bukan rasmi, boleh berharap untuk
mendapat bayaran WIS mereka pada 1
Januari 2008.
Para pekerja dalam golongan
berpendapatan sederhana dan tinggi
13
juga akan meraih sesuatu iaitu kenaikan
kadar sumbangan Tabung Simpanan
Pekerja (CPF) majikan sebanyak 1.5
peratusan mata. Ini akan meningkatkan
simpanan mereka, dan membantu ramai
daripada mereka membayar pinjaman
perumahan dan keperluan perubatan
mereka.
Memandang ke hadapan, satu cabaran
besar pada jangka panjang adalah
penuaan penduduk kita yang cepat.
Sedang lebih ramai rakyat Singapura
bersara, jaminan kewangan mereka
menjadi keprihatinan yang penting, baik
bagi mereka dan negara. Sistem CPF kita
menyediakan pencen persaraan asas
bagi kebanyakan rakyat Singapura. Tetapi
kita sedang mengkaji cara-cara untuk
membolehkan para anggota CPF meraih
pulangan yang lebih tinggi agar mereka
dapat memperbaiki keupayaan mereka
untuk mempunyai simpanan yang
mencukupi untuk persaraan.
Kita juga perlu mempersiapkan
secara holistik tenaga kerja yang kian
meningkat tua. Ini bermakna kita mesti
mempertingkat kemahiran pekerja tua,
menjadikan tempat kerja kita lebih mesra
warga lanjut usia dan melaksanakan
syarat-syarat pekerjaan yang lebih
fleksibel.
4/23/07 10:39:19 PM
Matlamat utama adalah untuk
membolehkan para pekerja bekerja lebih
lama dan bersara pada usia yang lebih
lanjut. Dengan ini mereka boleh kekal
aktif dan sihat, dan menabung lebih
banyak untuk hari tua. Kita memerlukan
perubahan minda yang penting di
kalangan para pekerja, majikan dan
Pemerintah. Kita tidak harus lihat anjakan
demografik ini sebagai satu liabiliti tetapi
sebaliknya sebagai satu langkah untuk
mewujudkan peluang-peluang baru yang
kita harus manfaatkan sepenuhnya.
Usaha menangani cabaran-cabaran ini
serta cabaran-cabaran lain memerlukan
satu pasukan pemimpin yang cemerlang
yang bukan sahaja berkebolehan
dan cekap tetapi juga komited dan
berdedikasi kepada Singapura. Mereka
mesti mempunyai nilai-nilai yang betul
dan semangat untuk berbakti kepada
4Message.indd 14
Singapura dan memperbaiki kehidupan
anda. Kita memerlukan para pemimpin
seperti itu di setiap segmen masyarakat
kita – dalam pemerintah, untuk
menggubal dasar-dasar yang betul untuk
kepentingan negara yang menyeluruh;
dalam kesatuan-kesatuan sekerja, untuk
memperjuangkan kesejahteraan pekerja
dengan cara yang bijak dan arif; dan
dalam syarikat-syarikat, untuk mengambil
perspektif jangka panjang dalam
perniagaan mereka, memberi layanan adil
kepada pekerja mereka dan memenuhi
keperluan-keperluan kerjaya mereka.
Sistem kita telah menghasilkan ini, dan
kita mesti memastikan bahawa ia terus
berbuat demikian.
Terpenting sekali, kita mesti
mengukuhkan perkongsian kerjasama
tiga pihak yang telah lama terbina.
Bersama-sama, kita telah mewujudkan
Singapura pada hari ini, dengan
kecekalan, azam dan kerja kuat kita.
Tetapi kita masih sebuah negara
berbilang bangsa, berbilang agama
yang kecil di Asia Tenggara. Kita masih
perlu bekerja untuk menyara hidup kita,
dan memastikan bahawa Singapura
selamat untuk keluarga kita. Oleh itu kita
mesti menguatkan kepercayaan dan
keyakinan antara satu sama lain, dan
terus bekerjasama sebagai satu pasukan
Singapura.
Pada Hari Buruh ini, marilah kita
memperbaharui komitmen kita untuk
mengekalkan perkongsian kerjasama tiga
pihak yang kuat untuk berjaya sebagai
sebuah ekonomi yang berdaya saing
dan sebagai masyarakat inklusif demi
menjamin masa depan yang cerah dan
dapat bertahan lama untuk kita semua.

劳动节献词2007
李显龙
总理
同心协力,全民一心
新加坡经济在过去三年取得稳健和全
面的增长，各个领域都受惠，同时为
人民带来许多就业机会 — 单在去年就
有17万6,000份新工作。
我相信增长势头将保持强劲，今年
应可取得4.5%到6.5%之间的增长。此
外，整体的投资走势十分良好。我们
的旅游业、半导体业、石油化学工业
和其他领域吸引了庞大的新投资。金
融业的表现尤其突出。这些趋势将为
国人制造许多酬劳更高的新工作。
不过，全球化的趋势也为我们带
来更激烈的竞争和有增无减的压力，
因此不能期待改变的步伐缓慢下来。
企业寻找投资的地点时，可以精挑细
选。当经济发展局向投资者游说的时
候，投资者会比较新加坡的条件和
其他国家所能提供的最好条件。我常
会见外地企业家，他们向我提出的问
4Message.indd 18
4/23/07 10:39:48 PM
题，大多关系到新加坡的发展方向和
前景，以及我们保持长期竞争力的策
略。由此看来，虽然我国的前景一片
光明，但是我们永远不能自满或松懈
下来。
在这样的国际形势下，政府将继续
竭尽所能为新加坡人制造施展才能和
抱负的机会。当前急务是协助工友做
好准备,以胜任这些新工作。他们的技
能应该不断提升，才跟得上日新月异
的工业需求。他们必须拥有全新的技
能，才能争取新的就业机会。全体工
友，不论技术水平如何，都应该不断
自我提升和学习。技术水平较低的工
友，是最脆弱的一群，也是我们着重
帮助的对象。不过，我们也协助专业
人士、经理、执行人员和技术人员提
升自己和适应新环境，并在新的领域
寻找工作。
我们将继续重新设计工作，重新培
训工友，并提高生产力，使工友的待
遇可以逐渐的和持续的改善。除此之
外，有了灵活的工资制，当经济强劲
增长，公司取得良好业绩的时候，工
友就可享有更多的花红。
就业奖励计划的对象是低收入工
友，我们将直接补贴他们的收入和积
4Message.indd 19
蓄。在这个劳动节，我们将第二次分
发就业奖励花红。第一次是在去年的
劳动节。在今年的财政预算案中，就
业入息补贴计划成了我国社会保障制
度的第四大支柱。这是我们向前跨出
的一大步。低薪工友，不论是正式就
业或非正式就业的，都可在2008年
1月1日获得他们第一部分的就业入息
补贴。
中高入息阶层的工友也将获得一些
好处。雇主公积金缴交率将调高1.5个
百分点。这将增加他们的储蓄，也
19
可以帮助他们应付房屋贷款和医药开
支。
展望未来，我们面对的一大长期
挑战是人口迅速老化的问题。随着更
多国人退休，财务保障将成为他们和
国家关注的问题。我们的公积金制度
使绝大部分国人累积了一笔基本退休
金。我们正在进一步探讨如何提高公
积金的收益回报，帮助国人累积足够
的退休金。
我们的劳动队伍正在老化。为此，
我们必须做好全面准备，这包括提升
4/23/07 10:39:53 PM
劳动节献词2007
年长工友的技能，使工作场所更适合
年长工友，并且实行更灵活的雇佣制
度。我们的主要目标是确保年长工人
能延长工作年和延后退休。这样，他
们就可保持健康活跃，为晚年累积更
多储蓄。工人、雇主和政府都应该改
变对这个问题的基本看法。我们应该
将人口结构的变化视为一种机会，以
及一种可以善加利用的优势，而不是
一种负担。
我们要解决上述种种问题，就必
须拥有杰出的领导班子。领导人应该
有能力和才干，也应具备为新加坡奉
献的精神。他们必须是诚恳的，应该
有服务的精神和为老百姓谋福利的热
忱。我们社会各层面都需要这样的领
袖。有了这样的领袖，政府才能够制
定符合国家整体利益的政策，职工会
才能够通过开明和有效的措施为工人
争取福利，而新加坡才可能拥有许多
4Message.indd 20
高瞻远瞩的企业，以及许多懂得公平
对待员工和为员工制造上进机会的企
业。这些都是现有体制所能办得到，
我们因此必须确保这个体制继续顺利
运作。
最重要的是，我们必须加强多年建
立起来的劳、资、政合作伙伴关系。
我们是凭着坚强的意志和同心协力的
精神，建立了今日的新加坡。然而，
我们仍然是东南亚一个多元种族、多
元宗教的小国。我们离不开这个环
境，因此必须尽力维持我们的谋生条
件，维护社会的繁荣和安全，让人民
可以安居乐业。人民之间的互信十分
重要，让我们保持团结，全民一心。
在这个劳动节，让我们重申我们的
承诺：我们将继续保持劳资政三方的
密切合作关系，保持我国的竞争力，
并打造一个包容的社会，为全体国人
创造一个光明和美好的前途。

Ng Eng Hen
Minister for Manpower and
Second Minister for Defence
Moving Forward
Together, Facing The
Future With Confidence
2006 was a good year for workers.
Singapore’s economy continued to grow.
A record 176,000 jobs were created, of
which 90,900 went to locals. The total
workforce is at its highest ever, at 2.496
million. Unemployment fell to 2.6 per
cent in December 2006, with almost
24,000 fewer local workers unemployed
compared to 2003. Workers are enjoying
higher bonuses and wage increases.
National Trades Union Congress proposed
and the Government agreed to a
restoration in the Central Provident Fund
contribution rate for most workers by 1.5
per cent.
The efforts of NTUC and its tripartite
partners have helped Singapore emerge
from the difficult years from 2001 to 2003.
Even though the message may have been
unpopular then, NTUC helped workers
understand the economic challenges
that Singapore was facing and to make
necessary but painful changes. These
efforts have borne fruit. With a flexible
labour market, performance-based wage
systems and efforts to upgrade and reskill workers, our economy has remained
competitive and created a record number
of jobs.
We need to sustain our efforts and
keep up the momentum to respond to
three important challenges facing our
workforce.
Demand For Higher Skills
First, higher skills. The Government has
decided to make Workfare the fourth
4Message.indd 21
pillar of our social security system. The
Workfare Income Supplement (WIS)
scheme, together with the accompanying
CPF changes, will encourage more
Singaporeans to find work and stay in
jobs. It will improve their employability,
raise their take-home pay and enhance
their retirement adequacy. With more
people in families working, households
will be better off.
However, Workfare is not the complete
answer to helping low-wage workers earn
more. To achieve this, every worker must
improve his skills level and add greater
value to his job. Government will assist
those who want to improve themselves.
To help workers upgrade, the Workforce
Development Agency has implemented
the Workforce Skills Qualification
framework in a number of industry
sectors such as retail and tourism. More
will follow in the next two years, such
as in the landscaping, info-comm and
creative industries.
Our Ageing Population
Second, workers must remain
employable. The Tripartite Committee on
Employability of Older Workers has made
good progress. The ADVANTAGE! Scheme
launched last year has helped companies
to redesign jobs and processes to make
them more suitable for older workers.
Many workers have tapped on WDA
funding to equip themselves with upto-date and relevant skills. These efforts,
coupled with strong job creation, have
improved employment rates for older
workers. Employers and workers should
press on in their efforts, to ensure that this
improvement is sustained.
We also need to ensure that fair
employment practices are adopted by
companies. Discrimination has no place
in Singapore. In May 2006, the Tripartite
Alliance for Fair Employment Practices
(TAFEP) was set up to raise awareness
and promote fair and progressive
employment practices. Later this year,
a Tripartite Centre for Fair Employment
will be set up to proactively reach out to
more companies and workers. I hope that
employers and unions will continue to
support TAFEP’s initiatives.
A Safe And Healthy Workplace
Third, all workers must go home safe
each day. We must continue to improve
Occupational Safety & Health (OSH). The
workplace fatality rate in 2006 fell to 3.1
per 100,000 workers. Compared to the
rate of 4 in 2005 and 4.9 in 2004, this is
a marked improvement. We are well on
our way to achieving OSH standards of
developed countries by 2015. In 2008,
the Workplace Safety and Health Act will
be expanded to cover six new industries,
including hotels and restaurants,
hospitals, and transport services. I urge
unions and employers to work together
to build stronger safety and health
capabilities in their companies.
Facing The Future With Confidence
In 2006, NTUC bade farewell to SecretaryGeneral Lim Boon Heng. I would
like to thank him once again for his
contributions to the labour movement
and to tripartism in Singapore. I look
forward to working closely with his
successor, Secretary-General Lim Swee
Say, to tackle the challenges ahead. The
Singapore Tripartism Forum, launched
in January 2007 to advance and
institutionalise the key principles of our
collaborative industrial relations model, is
a positive development. Open dialogue
through such platforms will strengthen
and build on the strong tripartite trust,
to help us meet future challenges with
confidence.
Looking ahead, more good jobs
will continue to be created across the
economy, especially in growing sectors
like healthcare, hotels, retail and banking
and finance, as well as in the Integrated
Resorts. Let us continue to work together
to ensure that our workers are well
equipped to take advantage of the
opportunities which lie ahead.
I wish the NTUC and all workers,
Happy May Day.

Menteri Tenaga Manusia dan
Menteri Kedua Pertahanan
Bergerak Maju Bersama, Hadapi Masa
Depan Dengan Yakin
2006 adalah tahun yang baik bagi para pekerja.
Ekonomi Singapura terus tumbuh dengan
kukuh. Sebanyak 176,000 pekerjaan telah
diwujudkan yang merupakan satu rekod. 90,000
daripada pekerjaan itu telah diambil oleh pekerja
tempatan. Jumlah tenaga kerja berada pada
paras yang tertinggi, iaitu 2.496 juta pekerja.
Pengangguran telah turun kepada 2.6 peratus
pada bulan Disember 2006, dengan bilangan
pekerja yang menganggur berkurangan hampir
24,000 orang berbanding 2003. Para pekerja
menikmati bonus dan kenaikan gaji yang lebih
tinggi. Kongres Kesatuan Sekerja Kebangsaan
(NTUC) telah mengusulkan agar kadar
sumbangan Tabung Simpanan Pekerja (CPF)
dipulihkan semula sebanyak 1.5 peratus untuk
kebanyakan pekerja. Saranan ini telah dipersetujui
oleh Pemerintah.
Usaha-usaha NTUC dan rakan-rakan
kerjasama tiga pihaknya telah membantu
Singapura bangkit daripada tahun-tahun sukar
antara 2001 dan 2003. Walaupun mesejnya
mungkin tidak popular pada masa itu, NTUC telah
membantu para pekerja memahami cabarancabaran ekonomi yang dihadapi oleh Singapura
dan perlunya kita melakukan penyesuaian
yang perit tetapi perlu. Usaha-usaha ini telah
membuahkan hasil. Dengan pasaran buruh
yang fleksibel, sistem gaji yang berdasarkan
prestasi dan usaha-usaha untuk meningkatkan
diri dan melatih semula pekerja, ekonomi kita
kekal bersaing saing dan mewujudkan bilangan
pekerjaan yang paling tinggi.
Kita perlu meneruskan usaha kita dan
mengekalkan momentumnya untuk menyahut
tiga cabaran penting yang dihadapi oleh tenaga
kerja kita.
Permintaan Untuk Kemahiran Lebih Tinggi
Yang pertama ialah kemahiran yang lebih
tinggi. Pemerintah telah memutuskan untuk
menjadikan Daya Kerja tunggak keempat
dalam sistem keselamatan sosial kita. Skim
Tambahan Pendapatan Daya Kerja (WIS)
bersama dengan perubahan-perubahan pada
CPF akan menggalakkan lebih ramai warga
Singapura mencari kerja dan kekal bekerja. Ini
akan meningkatkan daya laku kerja mereka,
menambah gaji yang mereka bawa pulang
dan memperbaiki persiapan mereka untuk
mempunyai simpanan yang mencukupi apabila
mereka bersara. Dengan lebih ramai anggota
keluarga bekerja, keluarga-keluarga akan
menikmati kehidupan yang lebih baik.
Bagaimanapun, Daya Kerja bukanlah jawapan
4Message.indd 22
penuh kepada usaha untuk membantu para
pekerja bergaji rendah mendapat pendapatan
yang lebih. Untuk mendapat gaji lebih,
setiap pekerja mesti memperbaiki paras
kemahirannya dan menambah nilai yang
lebih besar kepada pekerjaannya. Pemerintah
akan membantu mereka yang mahu
mempertingkat diri mereka. Untuk membantu
para pekerja menjalani peningkatan diri,
Agensi Pembangunan Tenaga Kerja (WDA)
telah melaksanakan rangka kerja Kelayakan
Kemahiran Tenaga Kerja (WSQ) di beberapa
sektor perusahaan seperti perusahaan runcit
dan perusahaan pelancongan. Lebih banyak
sektor perusahaan akan mengikuti langkah
ini dalam masa dua tahun akan datang,
seperti perusahaan-perusahaan perlanskapan,
infokom dan kreatif.
Penduduk Kita Yang Meningkat Tua
Kedua, para pekerja kita mesti memastikan
yang mereka mempunyai kemahiran yang
relevan untuk mengekalkan pekerjaan mereka.
Jawatankuasa Tiga Pihak bagi Daya Laku Kerja
untuk Pekerja Tua telah mencapai kemajuan
yang baik. Skim ADVANTAGE! yang dilancarkan
pada tahun lalu telah membantu syarikatsyarikat untuk mereka semula pekerjaan dan
proses kerja untuk menjadikan pekerjaan dan
proses kerja itu lebih sesuai untuk para pekerja
tua. Ramai pekerja telah memanfaatkan dana
yang disediakan WDA untuk melengkapkan
diri mereka dengan kemahiran-kemahiran
terkini dan relevan. Usaha-usaha ini, yang
disokong oleh suasana pewujudan banyak
pekerjaan, telah meningkatkan kadar pekerjaan
di kalangan pekerja tua. Para majikan dan
pekerja mesti meneruskan usaha mereka
ini untuk memastikan pembaikan ini dapat
dikekalkan.
Kita juga perlu memastikan bahawa amalan
pekerjaan yang adil diamalkan oleh syarikatsyarikat. Amalan diskriminasi tidak mempunyai
tempat di Singapura. Pada Mei 2006, Perikatan
Tiga Pihak bagi Amalan Pekerjaan Yang Adil
(TAFEP) telah ditubuhkan untuk meningkatkan
kesedaran dan menggalakkan amalan
pekerjaan yang adil dan progresif. Lewat tahun
ini, sebuah Pusat Tiga Pihak mengenai Amalan
Pekerjaan Yang Adil akan ditubuhkan untuk
mendekati secara proaktif lebih banyak syarikat
dan pekerja. Saya berharap para majikan dan
semua kesatuan sekerja akan terus menyokong
inisiatif-inisiatif yang dilancarkan oleh Perikatan
Tiga Pihak bagi Amalan Pekerjaan Yang Adil.
Tempat Kerja Yang Selamat Dan Sihat
Ketiga, semua pekerja mesti pulang ke rumah
dengan selamat pada setiap hari. Kita mesti terus
memperbaiki taraf keselamatan dan kesihatan
di tempat kerja. Kadar kematian di tempat
kerja pada 2006 telah merosot kepada 3.1 bagi
setiap 100,000 pekerja. Berbanding dengan
kadar 4 pada 2005, dan 4.9 pada 2004, ini adalah
kemajuan yang amat baik. Kita sedang menuju
matlamat untuk mencapai piawaian keselamatan
dan kesihatan di tempat kerja yang dinikmati oleh
negara-negara maju menjelang 2015. Pada 2008,
Akta Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Di Tempat Kerja
akan diperluaskan untuk meliputi enam industri
baru, termasuk hotel dan restoran, hospital, dan
perkhidmatan pengangkutan. Saya menggesa
kesatuan-kesatuan sekerja dan para majikan agar
bekerjasama bagi membina keupayaan yang
lebih teguh dalam memastikan keselamatan dan
kesihatan dalam syarikat-syarikat mereka.
Menghadapi Masa Depan Dengan
Keyakinan
Pada 2006, kita mengucapkan selamat tinggal
kepada bekas Setiausaha Agung NTUC Lim
Boon Heng. Saya ingin mengucapkan terima
kasih sekali lagi kepada beliau atas sumbangan
beliau kepada pergerakan buruh dan fahaman
kerjasama tiga pihak di Singapura. Saya
berharap dapat bekerjasama dengan pengganti
beliau Setiusaha Agung Lim Swee Say untuk
mengatasi cabaran-cabaran masa depan.
Forum Kerjasama Tiga Pihak Singapura, yang
dibentuk pada Januari 2007, untuk memaju
dan melembagakan prinsip-prinsip utama bagi
model hubungan perusahaan kita yang bersifat
kerjasama, adalah satu perkembangan positif.
Dialog terbuka melalui platform-platform seperti
ini akan mengukuhkan dan meningkatkan lagi
kepercayaan yang kuat di kalangan rakan-rakan
kerjasama tiga pihak, untuk membantu kita
menghadapi cabaran-cabaran masa depan
dengan keyakinan.
Memandang ke hadapan, lebih banyak
pekerjaan yang bagus akan terus diwujudkan
dalam semua bidang ekonomi, terutama
dalam sektor-sektor yang sedang berkembang
seperti penjagaan kesihatan, hotel, sektor runcit
dan perbankan dan kewangan, serta Resort
Bersepadu. Marilah kita terus bekerjasama untuk
memastikan bahawa para pekerja kita cukup
bersedia untuk memanfaatkan peluang-peluang
yang terdapat di masa hadapan.
Saya mengucapkan Selamat Hari Buruh
kepada NTUC dan semua pekerja.

对工友来说，2006年是个好年头。
新加坡的经济继续取得增长，制造了
17万6000个就业机会，创下历史新

我们必须坚持不懈，保持这股动
力，以针对我国劳动力所面对的三项
重要的挑战作出反应。
对高技能的需求
首先，必须提高工友的技能。政府已

不过，就业奖励计划不是协助低

我们也需确保公司采取公平的雇

and Chairman, Singapore Business Federation
Employers Will Support
Worker Initiatives
The economy continued to grow strongly
at 7.9 per cent in 2006 and is expected to
grow between 4.5 per cent and 6.5 per
cent in 2007. A record 176,000 new jobs
were created last year, beating the gains
of 113,300 in 2005. Unemployment rate
dipped to 2.6 per cent in 2006, down from
3.1 per cent in 2005.
Improve Workforce Skills And
Productivity
With both the economy and job market
expanding, the number of residents
in employment increased from 1.73
million in 2004 to 1.88 million in 2006.
The Ministry of Manpower had forecast
that 450,000 jobs will be created over the
next five years if the economy grows as
projected. We will need to equip workers
with the right skills to take on the jobs
created. Employers must continue to
invest in training and workers must
continue to go for skills upgrading.
Productivity growth had slowed down
from 2.1 per cent in 2005 to 1.2 per cent
in 2006 moderated by the number of
jobs created. More training is needed to
sharpen worker skills so that they can
contribute to higher productivity.
Enhance Employability And
Employment Of Older Workers
Employers could also tap on the pool of
older workers to meet their manpower
needs. There were about 150,000
4Message.indd 25
residents aged between 55 and 64 who
were not in the workforce.
The Singapore National Employers
Federation has been working with
employers to implement age-friendly
practices. These include changing
their recruitment policy, remuneration
and benefits package, flexible work
arrangements and re-employment
policy for workers who are retiring.
Employers are also creating new job
roles that leverage on the strength of
older workers to maximise their potential
and contribution to their businesses.
Such changes will attract older workers
to rejoin the workforce as well as help
employers to retain their older workers
longer.
Together with the efforts of the
tripartite partners, the employment rate
for those aged 55 to 59 improved from
54.2 per cent in 2005 to 60.6 per cent
in 2006, while the employment rate for
those aged 60 to 64 improved from 34.3
per cent to 41.9 per cent in the same
period. We must intensify our efforts
to employ and re-employ more older
workers.
effect on workers and businesses.
Going forward, SNEF will work with
NTUC and MOM to reach out to more
stakeholders to help them better
understand the roles of the tripartite
partners and our cooperative and
consensus seeking approach to finding
solutions for the challenges which we
face.
Raise Worker Skills And Productivity
Singapore is enjoying good economic
growth. More jobs are being been created
and workers have been rewarded with
good wage increases and bonuses. To
sustain this, we need to continue to raise
worker skills and productivity, have more
Singaporeans take up the jobs that are
being created and continue to strengthen
our good labour-management and
tripartite relations.
On behalf of the 17,000 members
of the Singapore National Employers
Federation and Singapore Business
Federation, I wish all workers, Happy May
Day 2007.
Strengthen Tripartite Partnership
The National Trades Union Congress
has launched Labour Movement 2011,
which aims to serve all segments of the
labour force. SNEF will support NTUC in
its efforts to engage different sectors of
the workforce in ways that will strengthen
cohesiveness and teamwork.
An initiative under LM2011 is the
Singapore Tripartism Forum. The Forum
aims to engage more stakeholders and
a wider pool of Chief Executive Officers
from the private sector to strengthen
tripartism. At the inaugural forum
launched by Prime Minister Lee Hsien
Loong on 24 January 2007, more than 550
union leaders, government officials and
CEOs discussed budget issues and their

Inisiatif-Inisiatif Pekerja
Ekonomi Singapura terus tumbuh
dengan kukuh sebanyak 7.9 peratus pada
2006 dan ia dijangka tumbuh antara
4.5 peratus dan 6.5 peratus pada 2007.
Sebanyak 176,000 pekerjaan baru telah
diwujudkan pada tahun lalu. Ini adalah
satu rekod kerana ia telah mengatasi
kejayaan mewujudkan 113,300 pekerjaan
pada 2005. Kadar pengangguran merosot
kepada 2.6 peratus pada 2006, turun
daripada 3.1 peratus pada 2005.
Memperbaiki Kemahiran Tenaga
Kerja Dan Daya Penghasilan
Dengan berkembangnya ekonomi dan
pasaran pekerjaan, bilangan penduduk
yang bekerja telah bertambah dari 1.73
juta pada 2004 kepada 1.88 juta pada
2006. Kementerian Tenaga Manusia
(MOM) telah meramalkan bahawa
450,000 pekerjaan akan diwujudkan
dalam tempoh lima tahun yang akan
datang jika ekonomi tumbuh seperti yang
diunjurkan. Kita perlu melengkapkan
pekerja dengan kemahiran yang betul
supaya mereka dapat mengambil
pekerjaan yang diwujudkan. Para majikan
mesti terus melabur dalam latihan dan
para pekerja mesti terus mengikuti latihan
untuk mempertingkat kemahiran mereka.
Pertumbuhan daya penghasilan telah
bergerak perlahan dari 2.1 peratus pada
2005 kepada 1.2 peratus pada 2006 yang
disederhanakan oleh bilangan pekerjaan
yang diwujudkan. Lebih banyak latihan
diperlukan untuk menajamkan kemahiran
pekerja agar mereka dapat menyumbang
kepada daya penghasilan yang lebih
tinggi.
Meningkatkan Daya Laku Kerja Dan
Pengambilan Pekerja Tua
Para majikan boleh juga manfaatkan
pekerja tua yang besar jumlahnya
untuk memenuhi keperluan tenaga
kerja mereka. Terdapat kira-kira 150,000
penduduk yang berumur antara 55 ke 64
yang tidak bekerja.
4Message.indd 26
Persekutuan Majikan Kebangsaan
Singapura (SNEF) telah bekerja dengan
para majikan untuk melaksanakan
amalan-amalan yang mesra umur. Ini
termasuk mengubah dasar mereka
mengenai pengambilan pekerja, gaji
dan pakej faedah, aturan kerja fleksibel
dan dasar pengambilan semula pekerja
yang bersara. Para majikan juga sedang
mewujudkan peranan-peranan kerja
yang baru yang memanfaatkan kekuatan
pekerja tua untuk memaksimumkan
potensi mereka dan menyumbang
kepada perniagaan mereka. Perubuhanperubahan seperti itu akan membantu
untuk menarik pekerja tua untuk
menyertai semula tenaga kerja serta
menolong majikan untuk mengekalkan
pekerja tua mereka pada jangka masa
yang lebih lama.
Bersama usaha rakan-rakan kerjasama
tiga pihak, kadar pekerjaan untuk mereka
yang berusia 55 hingga 59 tahun telah
bertambah baik dari 54.2 peratus pada
2005 kepada 60.6 peratus pada 2006,
sementara kadar pekerjaan untuk mereka
yang berusia 60 hingga 64 tahun telah
bertambah baik dari 34.3 peratus kepada
41.9 peratus pada jangka masa yang
sama. Kita mesti memperhebat usaha kita
untuk menggaji dan menggaji semula
lebih ramai pekerja tua.
Mengukuhkan Perkongsian Tiga
Pihak
Kongres Kesatuan Sekerja Kebangsaan
(NTUC) telah melancarkan Pergerakan
Buruh 2011 (LM2011) yang bertujuan
untuk berkhidmat kepada semua segmen
tenaga kerja. SNEF akan menyokong
NTUC dalam usahanya untuk melibatkan
segmen-segmen yang berlainan dalam
tenaga kerja dalam cara-cara yang akan
menguatkan perpaduan dan semangat
pasukan.
Satu inisiatif di bawah LM2011 ialah
Forum Kerjasama Tiga Pihak Singapura.
Forum ini bertujuan untuk melibatkan
lebih banyak pemegang kepentingan
dan kumpulan ketua-ketua pegawai
eksekutif yang lebih besar daripada
sektor swasta untuk mengukuhkan
kerjasama tiga pihak. Di forum pertama
yang dilancarkan oleh Perdana Menteri
Lee Hsien Loong pada 24 Januari 2007,
lebih daripada 550 pemimpin kesatuan
sekerja, pegawai pemerintah dan
ketua-ketua pegawai eksekutif syarikatsyarikat telah membincangkan isu-isu
bajet dan kesannya ke atas pekerja dan
perniagaan. Bergerak ke depan, SNEF
akan bekerja dengan NTUC dan MOM
untuk mendekati lebih banyak pemegang
kepentingan untuk membantu mereka
lebih memahami peranan rakan-rakan
kerjasama tiga pihak dan pendekatan
kita untuk bekerjasama dan bermuafakat
untuk mencari huraian kepada cabarancabaran yang kita hadapi.
Meningkatkan Kemahiran Pekerja
Dan Daya Penghasilan
Singapura menikmati pertumbuhan
ekonomi yang baik. Banyak pekerjaan
diwujudkan dan pekerja telah diberi
ganjaran dengan kenaikan gaji yang baik
dan bonos. Untuk mengekalkan ini kita
perlu terus meningkatkan kemahiran
dan daya penghasilan pekerja, pastikan
lebih ramai rakyat Singapura mengambil
pekerjaan yang diwujudkan dan terus
mengukuhkan pengurusan-buruh dan
hubungan kerjasama tiga pihak kita yang
baik.
Bagi pihak 17,000 anggota Persekutuan

John De Payva
President
National Trades Union Congress
LM2011: The
Journey So Far
Labour Movement 2011 has become a
buzzword in many parts of the labour
movement. But how did it all start?
It was in July 2006 when the journey
began at the Corporate Planning
Seminar. We recognised then that with
the rapidly changing environment,
evolving workforce profile and business
restructuring, there was a need for
the labour movement to expand our
focus, in order for us to remain a great
labour movement, and a key partner to
Singapore’s progress.
Labour Movement For All
Our overall aim is to become a more
inclusive, and cohesive labour movement
– a Labour Movement For All. We
committed ourselves to improving
our support for the “core” of the labour
movement – our unions, as well as Blue
and White Collar workers. At the same
time, we wanted to reach out to new
groups of workers emerging in the
workforce.
All For Labour Movement
New programmes were seeded, catering
to new target groups of people. Many
of these programmes need to take bold
new approaches, and require extensive
support from all in the labour movement
in order to be successful. From our
affiliated unions to our cooperatives, we
wanted to inspire all of them with our
4Message.indd 29
exciting new vision, so that they can
participate in and support this journey.
We wanted more bottom-up ideas to
further strengthen our initial strategies.
To do this, we embarked on an exercise
to progressively engage all stakeholders.
Useful ideas from the ground were
generated through the many LM2011
workshops. The LM2011 programmes
today arise from a combination of a clear
top-down vision and rich bottom-up
initiatives.
I am particularly glad that our unions
and cooperatives have given their
resounding support for LM2011. Many
of them have thrown their full weight
behind the vision and are now driving
some of our key initiatives at full steam.
Together, we have achieved some
promising results so far, but more still
needs to be done.
history of bold strategies. In fact, some
of the programmes under LM2011 are
not entirely new, but are instead building
on the results of pre-existing initiatives.
LM2011 is about building on the success
of the past, strengthening our core and
yet expanding our scope to be even more
inclusive. It is about ensuring that our
great labour movement remains great.
The journey ahead will not be easy. But
the results so far are encouraging. As long
as all parts of the labour movement can
continue to row forward as one, and with
the support of our tripartite partners, we
can be confident of achieving our goal.
Happy May Day!
'From Great To Great'
The labour movement has enjoyed
resounding success over the last 46
years. In a time when union membership
is on the decline all over the world, we
have bucked the trend and enjoyed
steady membership growth. Today, our
membership is close to half a million, and
growing.
What is the key ingredient of our
success? Since our inception, we have
always been forward-looking, bold
and innovative in tackling challenges
head on. At a time when industrial strife
was common, we took a constructive
approach. At the historic Modernization
Seminar in 1969, we took the bold step to
form cooperatives to cushion the costs of
living for the common worker. When the
workforce profile evolved, we instituted a
new category of membership to bring in
members that do not necessarily need to
be covered by collective bargaining.
Looking back at these developments, it
is clear that LM2011 is the latest in a long

Presiden
Pergerakan Buruh 2011:
Perjalanan Sejauh Ini
Pada hari ini, Pergerakan Buruh 2011
(LM2011) menjadi kekata yang popular
dalam banyak bahagian pergerakan
buruh. Bagaimana ia semua bermula?
Perjalanan itu bermula pada Julai 2006
di Seminar Perancangan Korporat. Kita
mengakui ketika itu bahawa dengan
sekitaran yang berubah pesat, profil
tenaga kerja yang berkembang secara
evolusi dan penyusunan semula
perniagaan, terdapat keperluan bagi
pergerakan buruh untuk meluaskan fokus
kita supaya kita kekal menjadi sebuah
pergerakan buruh yang besar dan unggul,
dan rakan penting kepada kemajuan
Singapura.
Pergerakan Buruh Untuk Semua
Tujuan kita yang menyeluruh ialah
untuk menjadi sebuah pergerakan
buruh yang lebih inklusif, dan bersatu
padu – Sebuah Pergerakan Buruh Untuk
Semua. Kita komited untuk memperbaiki
sokongan kita kepada “teras” pergerakan
buruh – kesatuan-kesatuan sekerja kita,
serta pekerja kolar biru dan putih. Pada
masa yang sama, kita mahu mendekati
kumpulan-kumpulan pekerja baru yang
muncul dalam tenaga kerja.
Semua Untuk Pergerakan Buruh
Program-program baru telah dianjurkan
untuk memenuhi keperluan kumpulankumpulan sasar yang baru. Kebanyakan
program ini perlu mengambil pendekatan
baru yang berani, dan ia memerlukan
sokongan meluas daripada semua orang
dalam pergerakan buruh untuk berjaya.
Dari kesatuan-kesatuan kerabat kita
kepada koperatif-koperatif kita, kita mahu
memberi inspirasi kepada mereka semua
dengan visi baru kita yang menarik, agar
mereka dapat menyertai dan menyokong
perjalanan ini. Kita mahu lebih banyak
idea yang datang daripada semua lapisan,
dari peringkat bawah ke peringkat atas
untuk menguatkan lagi strategi-strategi
awal kita.
Untuk melakukan ini, kita telah
menjalankan satu usaha untuk melibatkan
secara progresif semua pemegang
4Message.indd 30
kepentingan. Idea-idea yang berguna
berjaya diperolehi daripada pekerja
biasa menerusi bengkel yang banyak
diadakan di bawah LM2011. Programprogram LM2011 pada hari ini oleh
itu terbit daripada gabungan visi jelas
yang dirumuskan oleh pekerja daripada
peringkat atas ke peringkat bawah dan
inisiatif-inisiatif yang dijalankan oleh
pekerja dari peringkat bawah ke peringkat
atas.
Saya sangat gembira bahawa
kesatuan-kesatuan sekerja dan koperatifkoperatif kita telah memberi sokongan
hebat kepada LM2011. Kebanyakan
mereka telah memberi sokongan
penuh mereka kepada visi ini dan kini
menggerakkan beberapa inisiatif utama
kita dengan penuh tenaga. Bersama, kita
telah mencapai beberapa hasil yang baik
sejauh ini, tetapi lebih banyak usaha perlu
dibuat.
‘Dari Pergerakan Besar Dan Unggul
Kepada Pergerakan Besar Dan
Unggul’
Pergerakan buruh telah mencapai
kejayaan yang hebat sepanjang
tempoh 46 tahun yang lalu. Pada
masa kesatuan-kesatuan sekerja di
seluruh dunia mengalami kemerosotan
dalam keanggotaan mereka, kita telah
menongkah arus dan menikmati
pertumbuhan keanggotaan yang tetap.
Hari ini, keanggotaan kita berjumlah
hampir setengah juta, dan terus
berkembang.
Apakah ramuan utama dalam kejayaan
kita? Sejak kita menubuhkan pergerakan
buruh, kita sentiasa mengamalkan sikap
memandang ke depan, berani dan
inovatif dalam menangani cabarancabaran di depan kita. Pada waktu
sengketa perusahaan banyak berlaku,
kita telah mengambil pendekatan yang
membina. Di Seminar Modernisasi
yang bersejarah pada 1969, kita telah
mengambil langkah berani untuk
membentuk koperatif-koperatif yang
bertindak untuk mengurangkan kesan
kos sara hidup untuk pekerja biasa.
Apabila profil tenaga kerja berkembang
secara evolusi, kita telah membentuk
satu kategori keanggotaan baru
untuk membawa masuk para anggota
yang tidak semestinya memerlukan
perlindungan di bawah perjanjian
bersama.
Menyingkap kembali perkembanganperkembangan ini, jelaslah bahawa
LM2011 adalah strategi terbaru dalam
sejarah kita yang panjang dalam
melakarkan strategi-strategi berani.
Malah, beberapa program di bawah
LM2011 bukanlah baru semuanya,
tetapi sebaliknya ia membina di atas
asas hasil inisiatif-inisiatif yang wujud
sebelum ini. LM2011 ialah mengenai
usaha untuk membina di atas asas
kejayaan yang lalu, menguatkan teras kita
dan mengembangkan skop kita untuk
menjadi lebih inklusif. Ia mengenai usaha
untuk memastikan bahawa pergerakan
buruh kita yang besar dan unggul kekal
menjadi sebuah pergerakan buruh yang
besar dan unggul.
Perjalanan di hari muka bukanlah
mudah. Tetapi hasil sejauh ini adalah
menggalakkan. Selagi semua bahagian
dalam pergerakan buruh boleh terus
mendayung ke depan sebagai satu
pasukan, dan dengan sokongan rakanrakan kerjasama tiga pihak kita, kita boleh
yakin untuk mencapai matlamat kita
Selamat Hari Buruh!

劳动节献词2007
德培华
全国职工总会会长
实现工运2011目标
今天，“工运2011”在职工运动的各
个领域之中，早已是大家耳熟能详的
名词。不过，您可知道它是如何产生
的？
“工运2011”的构想始于2006年
7月份举行的企业规划研讨会。当时，
我们认识到随着环境的迅速改变，新
劳工队伍的产生以及商业的重组，职
工运动有必要扩展其核心范畴，与时
并进，以弘扬工运的崇高精神，使之
成为推动新加坡前进的重要伙伴。
职工运动，为全体工友谋福利
我们的宗旨是建立一个更具包容性及
凝聚力的职工运动—— 一个为全体
工友谋福利的职工运动。我们热情奉
献，全心全意支持职工运动的“核
心”，即工会，以及白领与蓝领工
友。与此同时，我们也积极伸出触
角，吸引来自新劳工队伍的工友加入
职工运动。
上下一心，为职工运动作贡献
我们拟定了许多新计划，以期符合新
类别工友的需求。我们必须采取果
断的新方法来推行这些计划，同时也
须得到全体工运人士的支持，才能取
得成功。我们勾勒出新愿景，激励所
有工友，包括附属工会及合作社的会
员，以便他们能够参与及支持这个任
重道远的使命。我们希望得到更多来
自基层的意见和想法，进一步加强和
完善我们最初的构想。
为了完成目标，我们开始推展一项
计划，逐步引领所有工运界人士投入
这个使命。在多个“工运2011”工作
坊上，我们从基层获得许多宝贵的意
见。由于我们能够把愿景由上至下贯
彻到基层，以及从基层吸纳意见上达
决策人，这两者的结合因此造就了今
日的工运2011愿景。
而尤让我感到欣慰的是，各工会与
合作社均全力支持“工运2011”。当
中，有不少人把全副精神投入建设愿
4Message.indd 32
景的工作，并正卯足全力推行多项重
要计划。我们团结一致，同心协力，
如今虽已取得一些成果，但是前方还
有很多工作要做，我们的使命尚未完
成。
承前启后，再创新的里程碑
我国工运在过去46年取得卓越的成
就。当全球各地的工会面临会员人数
下滑的局面时，我们不但扭转了劣
势，而且会员人数仍继续稳健增长。
今天，我们拥有近50万名会员，同时
人数还在不断增加之中。
我们成功的关键是什么？创立至
今，我们一直都采取前瞻性、果断及
创新的策略来面对所有的挑战。在工
业纠纷非常普遍的年代，我们采取建
设性的方法化解矛盾；在1969年举行
的历史性“工运现代化”研讨会上，
我们踏出果敢的一步，组织合作社，
协助一般工友应付日益增加的生活开
销。当新的劳工队伍出现时，我们重
新规划会员类别，以吸引那些未能受
到雇佣条例保护的工友加入成为工运
的一分子。
回顾这些发展历程，不难发现“工
运2011”是过去一系列果断决策
下的最新产物。事实上，在“工运
2011”当中，有一些计划并不全然
是新的，而是建立在现有计划的基础
上。由此可见，“工运2011”是建立
在过去的成果，它加强我们的核心理
念，同时又扩大我们的视野，使我们
更具包容性。它确保职工运动能承前
启后，历久不衰，弘扬工运的崇高精
神。
我们深知前方的道路并不平坦，但
庆幸的是，我们至今所取得的成绩却
令人鼓舞。只要职工运动能够上下一
心、同舟共济，并在劳资政伙伴的支
持下，我们有信心能够达成目标。
祝大家劳动节快乐！

Better Employment
For All
After three years of healthy economic
growth and strong job creation, the
labour market is showing signs of
tightening again. Employment prospects
are good as we expect 450,000 jobs to be
created over the next five years.
The positive employment outlook is
indeed good news for our workers. It
is also an excellent opportunity for the
tripartite partners to press on with our
efforts to tackle several key employment
challenges – from the widening income
gap and cheap-sourcing of low-wage
and unskilled workers, to re-employment
of mature and retired workers, and redeployment of workers to new growth
sectors.
The labour movement has set our
sights on working hand-in-hand with
the tripartite partners to ensure that
there will be better employment for all
Singaporeans, young and old, as we ride
this current wave of healthy economic
growth and strong job growth.
First, with a tightening labour market,
competition for workers will get keener.
4Message.indd 33
Sectors that are unable to upgrade jobs,
skills, productivity and pay will face
greater shortage of workers. It is therefore
a good time for us to re-create low skilled,
low productivity and low paying jobs in
as many job sectors as possible into more
decent jobs with more decent pay. In this
way, we can not only help ease worker
shortage in these job sectors, but also
help our low-wage workers of today to
earn more decent wages tomorrow.
Second, with a low unemployment
rate of 2.6 per cent that is expected
to stay low, we must do much more
to improve the employment rates of
Singaporeans across gender and age
groups. Two groups of Singaporeans
deserve special attention – “back-to-work”
women and mature workers aged 55 to
64. To succeed in raising employment
rates and the effective retirement age, we
will need to restructure our workplace to
be more family-friendly and age-friendly.
Last but not least, with keener
competition and faster pace of
restructuring, we will have to upgrade
4/23/07 10:40:40 PM
our economic capability and capacity
faster than ever before. We need to help
all categories of workers to re-train and
adapt faster. We also need to promote the
widespread adoption of “best-sourcing”
in all sectors of our economy so as to
strengthen our competitiveness as a
knowledge-based and innovation-driven
economy.
These are exciting challenges for the
tripartite partners. If we do it right, we
will be able to help more Singaporeans
to re-enter the workforce and stay in the
workforce beyond the official retirement
age of 62.
4Message.indd 34
The labour movement is committed
to playing our part. We have embarked
on the “Labour Movement 2011” journey
– to achieve a labour movement for
all workers, regardless of skills and
knowledge, nationalities and ages.
Together with our affiliated unions,
cooperatives and tripartite partners, we
pledge to strive for better employment
for all so that our workers can earn a good
living and lead a better life.
I wish all workers a very happy May
Day.

Pekerjaan Yang Lebih
Baik Untuk Semua
Selepas ekonomi kita menikmati
pertumbuhan dengan sihat selama
tiga tahun dan banyak pekerjaan telah
diwujudkan dalam tempoh itu, pasaran
buruh mula menunjukkan tanda-tanda
yang ia akan menjadi ketat semula.
Prospek pekerjaan adalah baik kerana kita
menjangkakan bahawa 450,000 pekerjaan
akan diwujudkan dalam tempoh lima
tahun yang akan datang.
Prospek pekerjaan yang positif ini
sesungguhnya satu berita yang baik
untuk pekerja kita. Ia juga satu peluang
yang sangat baik untuk rakan-rakan
kerjasama tiga pihak untuk meneruskan
usaha kita untuk menangani beberapa
cabaran pekerjaan utama – daripada
jurang pendapatan yang semakin
melebar dan penyumberan murah bagi
pekerja-pekerja yang bergaji rendah dan
tidak mempunyai kemahiran, kepada
penggajian semula pekerja matang
dan pekerja yang sudah bersara, dan
penempatan semula pekerja-pekerja
4Message.indd 35
ke sektor-sektor pertumbuhan baru.
Pergerakan buruh telah memutuskan
untuk bekerja berganding bahu dengan
rakan-rakan kerjasama tiga pihak untuk
memastikan bahawa pekerjaan yang lebih
baik akan disediakan untuk semua rakyat
Singapura, baik muda mahupun tua,
sedang kita memanfaatkan pertumbuhan
ekonomi yang sihat dan pertumbuhan
pekerjaan yang kukuh sekarang.
Pertama, denan pasaran buruh yang
semakin ketat, persaingan untuk pekerja
akan menjadi lebih sengit. Sektorsektor yang tidak dapat menaiktarafkan
pekerjaan, kemahiran, daya penghasilan
dan gaji akan menghadapi masalah
kekurangan pekerja yang lebih
besar. Oleh itu, masanya adalah baik
untuk kita mereka semula pekerjaanpekerjaan berkemahiran rendah,
berdaya penghasilan rendah dan bergaji
rendah dalam seberapa banyak sektor
pekerjaan yang boleh untuk menjadi
pekerjaan-pekerjaan yang lebih baik
4/23/07 10:40:51 PM
yang membayar gaji yang lebih baik.
Dengan cara ini, kita bukan sahaja dapat
membantu meringankan masalah
kekurangan pekerja dalam sektor-sektor
pekerjaan ini, tetapi juga membantu
pekerja-pekerja kita yang bergaji rendah
pada hari ini untuk mendapat gaji yang
lebih baik pada masa depan.
Kedua, dengan kadar pengangguran
rendah sebanyak 2.6 peratus yang
dijangka kekal rendah, kita mesti berusaha
lebih untuk memperbaiki kadar pekerjaan
rakyat Singapura untuk semua golongan
jantina dan umur. Dua golongan rakyat
Singapura harus mendapat perhatian
khas – wanita yang “balik bekerja” dan
pekerja matang yang berumur 55 hingga
64 tahun. Untuk berjaya menaikkan
kadar pekerjaan dan umur persaraan
yang efektif, kita perlu menyusun
semula tempat kerja kita agar ia menjadi
lebih mesra keluarga dan mesra usia
lanjut. Akhir sekali, dengan persaingan
yang lebih sengit dan penyusunan
semula yang berlaku pada kadar yang
lebih pantas, kita perlu meningkatkan
keupayaan dan kapasiti ekonomi kita
4Message.indd 36
dengan lebih cepat berbanding dengan
masa lalu. Kita perlu membantu semua
kategori pekerja untuk menjalani latihan
semula dan membuat penyesuaian yang
lebih cepat. Kita juga perlu menggalakkan
secara meluas amalan “penyumberan
terbaik” dalam semua sektor ekonomi
kita untuk menguatkan daya saing
kita sebagai sebuah ekonomi yang
berteraskan ilmu dan berpacukan inovasi.
Ini adalah cabaran-cabaran yang
menarik untuk rakan-rakan kerjasama tiga
pihak. Jika kita melakukannya dengan
betul, kita akan dapat menolong lebih
ramai rakyat Singapura untuk memasuki
semula tenaga kerja dan kekal dalam
tenaga kerja hingga melewati usia 62
tahun iaitu umur persaraan rasmi.
Pergerakan buruh komited untuk
memainkan peranan kita. Kita telah
memulakan perjalanan bagi “Pergerakan
Buruh 2011” – untuk mencapai matlamat
menjadi sebuah pergerakan buruh untuk
semua pekerja, tidak kira kemahiran dan
pengetahuan, kerakyatan dan umur.
Bersama-sama kesatuan-kesatuan
kerabat, koperatif-koperatif dan rakan-
rakan kerjasama tiga pihak, kita berikrar
untuk berusaha bagi memastikan
pekerjaan yang lebih baik untuk
semua agar pekerja kita memperoleh
pendapatan yang baik dan menjalani
kehidupan yang lebih baik.
Saya mengucapkan Selamat Hari Buruh
kepada semua pekerja.

劳动节献词2007
林瑞生
全国职工总会秘书长
人人都有好工作
随着我国经济连续3年健康成长，新的
工作不断涌现，劳动市场再次显现紧
张迹象。由于未来5年预计业界将创造
45万份新工作，就业前景一片光明。
就业前景光明对工友来说是一件
好事，同时也是劳资政三方携手克服
就业挑战的良机。我们面对的挑战包
括收入差距扩大、低薪与无技术工
作“廉包”、续聘年长与退休工友，
以及引导工友转向新兴行业。
在此经济与就业形势大好的时刻，
工运团体决意与劳资政伙伴携手合
作，确保全国人民都有良好的工作。
首先，劳动市场紧张，人手竞争激
烈，那些无法改进工作、提升技能、
4Message.indd 39
生产力和薪金的行业，人手短缺的局
面将更形严重。因此，我们将趁此良
机，尽可能改造各行业里的低技术、
低生产力和低薪的工作，使之成为收
入不错的职业。如此，不仅可以舒缓
劳动力紧缺，又可提高低薪工友的收
入。
其次，预计接下来失业率将处在诸
如2.6%这样的低水平，我们一定要设
法让更多国人就业，其中，年龄介于
55至64岁的“重返工作”妇女和年长
员工尤其需要帮助。另外，为了提高
就业率和延长实际退休年龄，我们也
有必要重组工作，创造亲家庭和亲年
长工友的工作氛围。
4/23/07 10:41:07 PM
劳动节献词2007
最后，由于业界竞争激烈，重组
步伐快速，我们须要比以前更快速地
提高经济能量和产量，并重新训练各
领域工友，适应快速发展的世界。此
外，我们也须要推广“优包”，以便
在知识经济和创新导向的经济中，增
强竞争力。
以上诸项，都是劳资政伙伴面临的
巨大挑战。若处理得当，就能够帮助
更多国人重返劳动队伍，一直工作到
法定退休年龄（62岁）之后。
我们已经下定决心，朝着“工运
2011”大目标，不分技能高低、知识
掌握、国籍和年龄，为全体工友谋福
利。我们誓言要与属下工会、合作社
以及劳资政伙伴通力合作，让工友增
加收入，过着美满的生活。
祝贺全体工友劳动节快乐！

Unions At Work
“More jobs are being been created and workers have
been rewarded with good wage increases and bonuses.
To sustain this we need to continue to raise worker skills
and productivity, have more Singaporeans take up the
jobs that are being created and continue to strengthen
our good labour-management and tripartite relations.”

All For Work,
And Work For All Ages
In her younger days, Madam Lee Pek
Eng peddled home-cooked meals on the
streets of Singapore. At the sight of the
authorities, she and other street hawkers
would disperse as quickly as they had
appeared. But soon, the street hawkers of
the 1950s and 1960s moved from streets
and alleyways to designated hawker
centres around the island, licensed to cook
and with the facilities to do it.
So Madam Lee found herself at North
Bridge Road Market, where she spent
the next 30 years feeding families and
workers from the surrounding area. About
two years ago, her stay there ended. The
market was set for an upgrade. She was to
be well compensated. She had two sons to
take care of her. So she decided that, at her
age, it was time to rest.
Rested And Restless
The break lasted eight months. She
became restless at home. A lifetime of
work made it too much time and too little
action for her. “So long as I can work, I will
work,” she said.
She soon found herself back at a hawker
centre, though no longer as a hawker. She
had chosen a different job – one more
manageable for her. She even took a
certification course for it.
Restroom Specialist
For more than a year, Restroom Specialist
Lee Pek Eng, 63, spent all her time at
Jalan Besar Hawker Centre. There, she
takes seriously the sanitary conditions of
the restrooms, with her giant electrical
scrubbing machine and special detergents.
Her employer, Horsburgh Engineering (F.E.)
Pte Ltd, which is the out-sourced cleaning
provider for the hawker centre, sent her on
a course by the World Toilet College to learn
the best practices and standards in toilet
maintenance, cleanliness and sanitation.
“She’s a keen learner,” said Horsburgh
Project Director Sharon Kee. “We asked
her to go for the course, and she was very
willing.”
Union Match-Making
Service providers like Horsburgh can
sometimes have trouble finding staff like
Madam Lee.
story layout.indd 51
“So long as I can work, I
will work.”
“NTUC has provided a lot of support. We
tell them we need workers, they organise
a job fair, and we get workers and workers
get jobs. It’s a win-win-win for all,” said Ms
Kee.
Madam Lee is a contracted employee
with Horsburgh, and has basic medical
benefits and days of leave – all the
standard fare of an employee. But most
important for her: She is working.
It’s Never Overtime Where You Want
To Be
For Madam Lee, staying at home is
too boring – or in her words, too “sian”. At
work, she has friends among the many
hawkers and regular customers. She keeps
her mind and body active. She learns new
things. She also earns her own keep, and
that bit of dignity means a lot to her.
Ms Kee has seen many older employees
with a similar outlook on life.
“They have their pride. They never take
anything from other people. They don’t
like free things,” said Ms Kee.
Despite working at a hawker centre full
of food, with meals offered to her by the
hawkers there, Madam Lee travels home
at 3 pm everyday to cook for herself. Then,
she returns to work. After all, she did use
to cook for a living and, as Ms Kee said:
“She probably likes the taste of her own
cooking better.”
It’s the kind of life that Madam Lee
wants: A life of activity, which little else but
work can offer.
Re-employment Of Retired Workers
Job Re-creation Programme (JRP)
• 161 companies re-employed 2,481
• 12,027 workers benefited with
retired workers in 2006.
• NTUC aims to work with 600
companies to re-employ 4,000
retired workers in 2007.
• To facilitate the raising of the
effective retirement age, NTUC will
focus on five key areas:
- Working with companies to
improve their policies on the
re-employment of retired workers.
- Making the working environment
more elderly friendly.
- Moving towards an age-neutral
wage system.
- Continuous training and upgrading.
- Working towards a healthy lifestyle.
better jobs and better pay from the
Job Re-creation Programme in 2006.
• JRP was carried out in 17 sectors,
including restroom cleaning,
healthcare, landscaping, retail and
security.
• Efforts include:
- Placing workers in re-created jobs.
- Re-skilling workers so they stay
employed in the face of company
restructuring.
- Upgrading workers through skills
training.
• In 2007, NTUC set a target to help
15,000 workers, through the various
JRP initiatives.
• NTUC will work on new emerging
sectors, eg manufacturing, in
partnership with government
agencies such as EDB.

private condominium complex in Pasir
Panjang. So far, it has been, “Ok. No
problems.” He settles the issues of residents
– like leaking roofs and other neighbourly
differences.
Though he’s still dealing with buildings,
the emphasis has shifted. He said: “The
construction industry is basically about
building from scratch. Over here, it’s about
building human relationships.” So Mr
Kek is doing well, earning a decent wage,
doing a decent job, re-skilled to live a
decent Singaporean life.
Building
From
Scratch
Then in July 2006, he saw a newspaper ad for
a Property Officer Re-skilling Programme. It
was by NTUC and the Workforce Development
Agency. The programme came with the
promise of a job.
Environment Agency.
All his life, Andrew Kek has been building
up, the hard way. He began work-life as a
technician, and while working, completed
an NTC-2 craftsman certificate in three
years. Moving up the career ladder, he took
a polytechnic diploma course, part-time.
That took him another five years. Later, he
began a part-time business degree course,
which he put on pause after the first year,
for various reasons. In between, he found
time to get married and raise a daughter,
now 19.
For 15 years, he earned a living in
the construction industry. That was till
February 2004, when the economic
downturn finally caught up with him,
and he lost his job. Even his wife lost hers.
Luckily, she found another one within six
months.
Hope
He had previously applied for
Property Officer positions. They were, at
least, related in some ways to his past
experience.
The offers never came. His was not
“relevant experience”, according to
employers. It would take time, effort and
investment for the company to train him
till he was competent.
Then in July 2006, he saw a newspaper
ad for a Property Officer Re-skilling
Programme. It was by NTUC and the
Workforce Development Agency. The
programme came with the promise of a
job. He applied and was selected. They
placed him in a job even before he began
the programme.
Hope Always, Work Always
He waited for his connections in the
construction industry to surface a job
which never came. He flipped through
the newspapers regularly, and applied
for many openings, to no success. But
Mr Kek is hardly the self-pitying sort. For
the next two years, while still looking
for decent work, he took what came. He
delivered documents from office to office.
He was in Vector Control at the National
Reskilling For A Second Chance
So, Mr Kek found himself studying again,
for a livelihood. At home, his family got by
on savings and a single stream of income
from his wife. They raised their daughter
and paid loan instalments on the car
– which they could not sell after a massive
drop in market prices.
Building Relationships
Mr Kek is now a Property Officer at a
Back To School
Coincidentally, he works near his wife.
So, every morning and evening, he
fetches her to work and fetches her back
home, in the car they once couldn’t sell.
All in all, things have worked out fine
for Mr Kek. He’s still working. Also, “They
called me up – the business school. So I’m
going back. To finish my degree,” he said.
He will be studying as he works, as
he always has. Life goes on for Mr Kek,
working to the end, at every high and
low, because he knows it must.
Helping The Middle-Aged,
Middle-Income Professionals,
Managers, Executives And
Technical People (PMETs)
• Under LM2011, NTUC aims to
reach out to new groups of
workers, including middle-aged
and middle-income White Collar
workers who may have been
displaced and face difficulties in
finding new employment.
• NTUC assists PMETs in their job
search through various ways. It
conducts information-sharing
seminars on jobs in growth
sectors, and helps prepare workers
for these jobs. NTUC works with
government agencies such as
WDA, EDB and SPRING to help
PMETs find new careers.
• Under the tripartite Professionals
Conversion Programme (PCP)
launched by WDA in March 2007,
these PMETs can also receive
assistance to be re-skilled for
conversion into a new industry.

“Daily chores can be tiring for her. So when
she is weak from treatment, I’ll do the
chores.”
The family’s problems don’t end there.
Not too long ago, in 2004, Mr Subramanian
found out that he had diabetes, while
donating blood. Fortunately, the
Government subsidises his medical
treatment.
Under The
Orange Roof
It’s green and breezy where
K Subramanian works through the day,
steering the wheel atop a big orange
excavator under an orange sun, shaded
away by trees and the roof of his machine.
He has been at it for the last seven years,
a daily-rated worker for the National
Environment Agency, tending to the more
sombre of places in our society, down at
the Choa Chu Kang Cemetery.
Daily, families and friends come and
go, to share tender moments and old
memories. “Subra”, as he’s called, works in
the background, allowing this essential,
human service to be delivered without
hindrance.
As the sun sets, he trades excavator
for motorcycle and, like most fathers,
heads home to “see my wife and
children.” He has two grown-up sons. Mr
Subramanian, 49, is heavily involved with
the Amalgamated Union of Public Daily
Rated Workers, where he serves on the
executive committee and attends monthly
meetings.
It’s Hard Working
But like many low-income families, his has
to work hard to survive. “My wife has a kidney
problem. It’s a dialysis case,” he said. Still, on
alternate days, she works as a cleaner for
the NEA. On the other days, averaging three
times a week, she goes for treatment for her
condition.
“The medical costs are around $2,400 each
month,” he said. Fortunately, government
subsidies and MediSave covers most of the
expenditure. Still, his family does co-pay
some amount for treatment. At home, they
There To Help
The Union also plays its part in helping
working families like Mr Subramanian’s
buffer expenses. Mr Subramanian has
received a $30 Care and Share voucher,
$50 in PUB Credits, $140 Bursary and $200

everything is as good as can be.

Khamis Abdullah, 36, was a daily-rated
worker not too long ago. He spent five
years doing general work, like cleaning, for
an out-sourced company contracted by
ST Aviation Services Co Pte Ltd, a leading
facility of ST Aerospace, down at Payar
Lebar Airport.
A Different Role
He’s still at SASCO today, but under a
new arrangement, a new pay structure
and in a new uniform. With the help of
NTUC’s Unit for Contract Workers, a total
of 10 daily-rated workers like Mr Khamis
were converted over to contract workers
in SASCO’s two locations, at Payar Lebar
and Changi.
Last December, Mr Khamis became
directly contracted to SASCO. With that

He plays a different role, too. The
Hanger Assistant is responsible for more
than 20 workers, who he deploys to do
various tasks each morning. With overtime
pay, he earns around $2,300 a month
– highly impressive earnings for someone
who began as a daily-rated worker.
Finding His Feet
Mr Khamis has been a security guard.
He has done delivery service. He was
looking for somewhere to fit in. With
four young children to feed, he needed
stability. Now, things are looking up. His
five years at SASCO have paid off.
“Maybe they know I work hard. They
recommended me. There are a lot of
general workers. But they picked me,”
he said, gratefully. The work he covers is

Member For Life
Deep inside each of us is a little child
waiting to get out. That’s surely the case
for mothers like Shirley Soh, at least at
the time of this writing. Already a mother,
she was pregnant and glowing with her
second child, due April 2007. She surfed
the Internet for information, and was
drawn in to the website for Mummy and
Me, an affinity group set up by NTUC Link
for its members – especially for mothers.
“Maybe it’s the warm colours on the site,”
she said. “Some other websites have bright
colours, and are out to catch your eye.
Maybe you get attracted to warm colours
when you’re expecting.” Madam Soh has
been an NTUC Member for four years;
mostly, to feed the family.
Big Shopping
“Normally, we use the card at NTUC
FairPrice.” There is a big FairPrice
supermarket right below her flat. Usually,
she collects the points on her membership
card for a year before cashing them in for
discounts. “It really helps a lot. You can use
it for coupons, for vouchers.”
For the family, “big grocery shopping” is
done once a month. It’s also family time
– a chance to bring her son out. “He likes
to walk around. He finds fascinating things
to touch. So I let him explore.”
Mummy and Me sends
her email updates, so she
keeps track of childcare
matters. Her favourite
topic right now is “family
lifestyle”, which is “quite
close to what I expect in
the future.”

“It’s not a touch-and-go website,” she
said. “With magazines, hardcopy, you
might not have the time to sit down and
read them. But the Internet is something
easy to check.”
Useful information, like the adverse
effects of pacifier use on speech
development, caused some commotion
between her and her parents, who were
more sceptical of novel advice. The
eventual compromise was to have the son
Pacifying The Family
As Madam Soh’s newborn arrives, she is
noticing the first inklings of what she calls
“The Terrible Two” in her first child. It’s an
age where, apparently, the child develops
a “mind of his own.” With another child
on the way, she will be putting her first
son into a childcare centre. Two working
parents hardly have much choice. Then,
the newborn son will eventually go to the
second set of caregivers, the evergreen
grandparents and nanny.
Currently, her firstborn spends weekdays
at the grandparents’ flat in Hougang, while
the parents are busy working. Weekends
are spent at home. The distance between
the parents’ and the grandparents’
homes makes it impractical for him to be
fetched to and fro everyday. Being at a
childcare centre brings him near home,
so his parents can fetch him back in the
evenings.
“I want to spend more time bringing him
up. To add positive things to his life,” said
Madam Soh.
“But as a mother, your role doesn’t stop
there, with the child,” she said. “You’ve
to bond with your husband, with your
parents. It’s a new member to the family.
So everybody can actually help. Don’t
reject any help from anybody.”
Help is also right around the corner for
her and other mothers, in the form of your
friendly, neighbourhood NTUC services,

June 2006 under Team Young NTUC.

U Movies
The numerous benefits attracted young paralegal Wang Ouli
Oly to the labour movement.
The scarier the movie, the better. That’s
the mantra of NTUC’s U Movies reviewer
Wang Ouli Oly.
Miss Wang, an avid movie fan, loves
horror movies of all genres, be it a typical
slasher flick or an Asian supernatural film.
The paralegal, who turns 25 this
year, decided to volunteer herself as a
movies reviewer after seeing an online
advertisement by U Movies.
As a U Movies reviewer, she gets to
watch the latest movies for free before
others do.
She then shares her opinions with
fellow movie buffs on the U Movies
website.
Joining NTUC has opened new doors
and new opportunities for her.
Miss Wang became a union member
four years ago upon the encouragement
of her mother who told her about the
many benefits that came with union
membership.
“NTUC has so many interest groups
such as U Travel, U Drive, U Movies that
are very appealing to youths,” said Miss
Wang, who is considering joining the salsa
dancing interest group under Young NTUC.
When informed that a vibrant salsa
scene thrives at Union Square, one of
NTUC Club’s clubhouses, Miss Wang grew
excited.
“That sounds like fun. Maybe I’ll sign up.”
More importantly, NTUC has helped her
to further her studies.
“NTUC offers a lot of
privileges and benefits such
as NTUC FairPrice rebates,
merchant discounts and
even sponsors training.
It also helps to solve
workplace problems that
workers face, a basic but
important function.”
A few years ago, Miss Wang applied
for funding from NTUC to pursue a
degree from the Singapore Institute of
Management.
NTUC sponsored half of her $8,000
annual course fees, a hefty sum that she
could not have afforded on her own.
With a Bachelor of Business Studies, the
third-year student knows she will have
better prospects in the long term.
The chirpy lass hopes to pursue a career
in banking.
“NTUC offers a lot of privileges and
benefits such as NTUC FairPrice rebates,
merchant discounts and even sponsors

In His
Khakis
“Whatever is available, take it,”
advises KV Sagar.
With that one thought and his own
good wits, Mr Sagar made his way to
Singapore for work. The Indian national
had graduated, not too long ago, with
a Bachelor’s degree in Physics, in his
homeland, where his father is himself
a university lecturer, but where work
is otherwise wanting. He then made a
pragmatic decision.
“No need to wait. If technical work, then
ok, get it first. You search for the physics
job later,” he said. To wait, he feels, is “to be
waiting forever.”
To Singapore
On the prompting of his friend, who had
taken a similar route, Mr Sagar attended
a technical course in India and snapped
up a job at the Singapore shipyards,
where the industry was booming and in
need of workers. The bosses-that-be soon
moved him to office work, and later, he
was elected by his peers into the now
three-year-old Workforce Safety Council
at Keppel Shipyard, Benoi, as its Secretary.
His job scope: To look out for safety
infringements and suggest improvements.
“He’s our main man,” said WSC Chairman
P Rasabalan, also of the Shipbuilding &
Marine Engineering Employees’ Union - Mr
Sagar’s union.
The Workers’ Voice
But Mr Sagar does much more than
generate reports. He is a migrant worker,
like the many he meets daily, and within
those khaki overalls, he is a voice for
workers. “Anything in their hearts, they
openly tell to me,” he said.
From Mr Sagar, the management finds out
about issues facing the workers, to resolve
them.
A New Language
Among migrant workers, with the
many nationalities and languages spoken,
communication is obviously an issue. Mr
Sagar, however, is a resourceful worker. On
one of his safety patrols, the new batch of
Chinese national workers chose to be very
frank with him.
“You don’t teach me English, you learn
Chinese – they told me!” he said. And so he
did. Mr Sagar’s spoken Mandarin is a quaint
mix of very simple and very technical
words, including all the words needed to
explain: “Today – what job you must do
there. What type of safety you need.”
Mr Rasabalan has seen the impact,
with workers being more amenable and
cooperative since Mr Sagar took over.
“Communication is the only problem.
Once you learn their language, they’re
really good people,” said Mr Sagar. He also
speaks passable Malay.
With his mix of language skills, Mr Sagar
also gives presentations to workers on the
union, representing SMEEU, because he
knows how difficult it can be to voice out
in a foreign land.
That Helping Hand
One day, Mr Sagar will leave here for
his “physics job” and the parents in the
photographs before that blank wall in his
bedroom. Others will come in his place, as
the Singapore shipyards blossom by the
water, creating more jobs for all.

As migrant workers share
in our success, they lend
us that helping hand,
just as Mr KV Sagar has.
They also remind us of
how we got here: By
an instinct for survival,
which we have shared
across the boundaries of
language, race and culture,
and within the global
community of workers and
people.

Training
Future Leaders
Unionists from SMMWU learn
the ins and outs of unionism,
including the importance of
tripartism, at the OTC Institute
of Labour Studies.
As the largest union in Singapore by
membership, The Singapore Manual &
Mercantile Workers’ Union needs to place
special emphasis on bringing its union
leaders up to speed in terms of core
industrial relations knowledge, as well as
sector-specific developments.
In the past, the Union had its own
residential leadership training programme
for its unionists, but this has since been
replaced by courses offered by the
OTC Institute of Labour Studies which
incorporates elements from the Union’s
programme.
Unionists, particularly new branch
officials, have to go through the Basic
Certificate in Industrial Relations. Those
who are interested can progress to do the
Intermediate Certificate in IR.
“When they come in, they don’t know
what is expected of them and how to
go about helping members. The Basic
Certificate course teaches them the basics
of unionism and how to be effective and
function at their workplace,” explained
SMMWU Deputy Secretary-General Law
Swee Hong.
“They learn about tripartism, how
unionism developed in Singapore, and
begin to better appreciate the union’s
work and the results of unionism. That
the benefits they enjoy are actually hardfought benefits that have been obtained
for them over the years.”
Companies are generally cooperative
when granting union leave for branch
officials to attend these courses, she added.
Annual Training Target
The Union has set aside an annual
training target: 100 unionists for the Basic
Certificate and 50 for the Intermediate
Certificate.
Executive committee members
are encouraged to do the Diploma in
Employment Relations. In fact, most of
them have completed the diploma.
“In the OTC Institute programmes,
there is exposure to the other unions.
They get to know unions and branch
officials in other sectors,” she said.
From 1998 to 2005, 454 SMMWU
union officials underwent the basic
certificate in IR. 121 have gone on to do
the intermediate certificate in IR. 31 have
completed both the advanced certificate
in IR and DER.
Unionists are also sent on other
short ad-hoc courses on subjects such
as the Employment Act and how to
communicate effectively.
As a result, unionists become better
equipped in their jobs and are more
confident, said Madam Law.
“They learn to interact with company
management, solve minor problems,
handle grievances, get to know about
basic labour law and how to interpret
applications of the labour law,” she said.
All this leads to a stronger, better
Union, well equipped to deal with the
myriad of challenges in the globalised
economy today.
“They learn about
tripartism, how unionism
developed in Singapore,
and begin to better
appreciate the union’s
work and the results

benefits they enjoy are

obtained for them over

The United Workers of
Petroleum Industry places
great importance on training
its leaders, so that they can
be equipped to face future
challenges.
Committed To The Union
Unlike many unionists today who
have the opportunity to learn about
industrial relations in the comfort of
classrooms, Mr K Karthikeyan and many
his age, came from the school of hard
knocks.
When the United Workers of
Petroleum Industry General Secretary
became an office bearer in the labour
movement in 1986, anything related to
the union had to be learnt through the
old fashioned way – through experience.
Things are different now.
“Now there is a school, OTC Institute
of Labour Studies that provides these
courses.”
These courses are a boon for
unionists, particularly those new to the
labour movement.
“They have the passion but they don’t
have the know-how or knowledge, so
equipping them is necessary.”
All UWPI officials have to go through
the basic and intermediate certificates
in Industrial Relations at OTC Institute.
Office bearers have to do the Advanced
Certificate in Industrial Relations and the
Diploma of Employment Relations (DER).
The Union also sends its Branch
Officials for the DER. More than 30 of
its Executive Committee and Branch
Officials have completed the DER.
“They have the passion
but they don’t have the
know-how or knowledge,
so equipping them is
necessary.”
Unionists need only obtain time off
from their companies to attend the
course, which are fully sponsored by the
Union, up to Diploma level.
“With the DER, they can handle
Branch Officials easier. They understand
the overall picture and so the company
respects the Branch Officials.”
Mr Karthikeyan had completed a
degree in Human Resource Management
from La Trobe University a few years ago.
The Union becomes more effective as
well.
“The Branch Officials handle the
day-to-day matters and only look for me
when they face problems.”
Unionists, by signing up for the DER,
a two-year course, are expressing their
commitment to the Union.
“If they do this course, it’s a clear
indication that they want to serve in the
Union. It’s a great commitment to the
Union,” said Mr Karthikeyan.
Grooming Leaders
• OTC Institute of Labour Studies is
committed to providing quality training
programmes to strengthen union
leadership and advance the practice of
good industrial relations.
• ‘Core Leadership Programmes’ are

leadership development for unionists
and consists of courses from Basic to
Diploma levels, ranging from Industrial
Relations to Leadership and Human
Resource Management. 1,040 training
places were taken up by unionists in

• ‘Enhancement Programmes’ are
short courses for personal and
professional development, including
‘Understanding the Employment Act’
and ‘Change Management’. 1,300

Close collaboration between
PUB and PUBEU leads to winwin-win outcomes for staff,
union and company.
Partners Working
Hand In Hand
The Public Utilities Board and the PUB
Employees’ Union share a very special
relationship.
Both engage each other constantly
in various matters such as training and
staff welfare, so much that an effective
industrial relations course has been
devised for staff to learn more about a
topic that concerns the lot of workers.
Union and company share a common
vision for the betterment of the company
and staff.
“The close relationship is for the benefit
for our staff who are part of the company,
resulting in a win-win-win situation for all.
We have an open-door policy with one
another. Besides our regular dialogues, as
and when an issue arises, we will meet up,”
said PUB Assistant Chief Executive of Water
Supply Chan Yoon Kum.
The company and the union adopt
a consultative approach when policy
changes take place and union leaders
participate in corporate planning
workshops with management.
Many Programmes
A course in Effective Industrial Relations,
conducted by the OTC Institute of Labour
Studies, strengthened relations between
company and union.
Launched in May 2003, it was jointly
developed by PUB and PUBEU.
All senior officers and Division I
officers such as supervisors and assistant
managers, including new staff attend the
course.
Staff learn about industrial relations,
the union, their company’s organisation
system and subjects such as how
to develop a positive climate at the
workplace.
At the end of the two-day course,
a panel comprising top management
officials clarify issues raised by participants
such as policy matters.
So far, 331 officers have completed the
course.
“The close relationship is for the benefit for our
staff who are part of the company, resulting in a
win-win-win situation for all.”
Deputy Director of Training and
Development K IIangovan said: “It’s a
continuation of knowledge.”
Regular dialogues are also held with top
management, including Chief Executive,
Assistant Chief Executive and department
heads.
Staff is also encouraged to upgrade
their skills and knowledge through training
programmes such as the Certificate
Programme in Water Technology
Maintenance and the Diploma in Water
Technology. The latter, the brainchild of
PUB Chairman Tan Gee Paw, provides
a larger job scope for graduands and
ensures PUB’s success in the future.
Lower level staff are also given
opportunities to upgrade their skills so
that they have at least an National Trade
Certificate qualification.
A transition training programme,
developed together with PUBEU, has also
been a success.
Staff aged 58 to 62 go through a twoday course to learn to take stock of their
financial commitments.
They are also taught about their options
available and to develop their various
strengths. The company aims to train 300
workers in 2007.
Most Are Union Members
A high percentage, 92 per cent of the
company’s 3,000-plus staff strength are
union members, including PUB Chairman
Mr Tan, who is a General Branch member.
Annual activities such as Family Day
and Model Employees Awards also bring
company and union closer.
Indeed, it’s obvious from the easy
camaraderie from union and company
representatives that both are comfortable
with one other.
PUBEU President P Chandran said: “We
have come a long, long way from the past
to what we are today. IR can be a very
sensitive issue. You can build it up for years
but tear it down in a second. We have
gone beyond this. That is because the
management works very closely with us
– the union.”
Here’s an aye to that.

62 UNIONS AT WORK
Going Global
With Our Unions
“There is much
to learn from
others, even as
we value and
share Singapore’s
successes.”
On the world stage, the hardest act to
perform is something that the Singapore
labour movement has mastered in its
own unique way. Singapore tripartism has
delicately balanced a robust economy,
with government, employer and union
working together as partners for the
betterment of all.
Somewhere in the mix is Mr Thomas
Thomas: NTUC Central Committee
Member, General Secretary of the
Singapore Shell Employees’ Union and
former Labour Nominated Member of
Parliament.
As far as the local trade unionists go, Mr
Thomas has gone as far as any: To Australia
and Israel for courses on unionism, and
to dialogues for ICEM – International
Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mine
and General Workers’ Unions, and ILO
– International Labour Organization, where
he represented workers of the oil and
chemical sectors in tripartite meetings.
From experience, he sees the
opportunity for local unionists to reach out
more to fellow unionists elsewhere. It is
the promise of gaining through exchange.
Similarities And Differences
When he was a unionist in the 1970s,
he learnt that “what happens elsewhere
influences us”. He noticed how local
employers adopted best practices from
foreign counterparts, and found it odd that
unions were not doing the same.
“One of the things which strikes you
very clearly is: There are similarities and
differences among unionists.”
The similarities include a passion
to protect workers’ livelihoods. The
differences, however, find both good and
bad points in the differing approaches,
and stem from our different backgrounds.
“In many countries, they try to protect
workers by passing a lot of laws, which
are well-intended. But the more laws you
have, the more you impose rigidities on
the economy system. And these rigidities
make it very hard for businesses to thrive.”
When businesses suffer, workers suffer.
However, having “absolutely no rules”
can also lead to worker exploitation.
The challenge, then, is to “find the right
balance” between protecting workers and
giving flexibility to businesses. Tripartism
gives this balance.
In Our Own Ways
“We in Singapore have taken very
different approaches,” said Mr Thomas, “and
I don’t think we need to be shy about how
we solve our problems. We’ve been quite
successful, in our own ways.”
For these successes, he has found
interest among foreign unionists, despite
their grievances over Singapore in other
aspects.
One example is the way in which
Singapore has approached Corporate
Social Responsibility, an area which Mr
Thomas is strongly championing. Many
foreign unions reject CSR as a public
relations tool. Singapore takes a more
pragmatic approach to CSR, while fully
aware of the intentions of businesses.
“CSR objectives are good. They can make
a better and fairer world that strengthens
the position of labour. Even if it is used as
a PR tool, we see it as an opportunity to
convert it over in reality,” said Mr Thomas.
Singapore places CSR into the tripartite
model, using persuasion rather than
aggression or outright rejection.
So, despite it all, Mr Thomas feels
that foreign unionists do appreciate
Singapore’s efforts in trade unionism,
“because we seem to have effectively
solved many of the problems they are still
facing”. To him, there is much room for
local unionists to share similar experiences
with others.
Bridge Over Foreign Waters
Singapore’s unionists can also play
“a bridging role”, between unionists in
different parts of the world, who may
clash on politics and ideology. Singapore’s
approach has always been pragmatic. “We
seem to be putting our worker first, and
ideology second,” said Mr Thomas.
For this, Singapore’s actions are
often misunderstood. But Singapore’s
pragmaticism also puts it in prime
position to be that bridge for others. At
the same time, the Singapore labour
movement must stay humble, and
connect with foreign unions to learn their
best practices.
“There is much to learn from others,
even as we value and share Singapore’s
successes.”
International Relations
• NTUC organised a series of dialogue
sessions with union leaders to
deepen their understanding of key
international labour issues.
• Notable progress has been achieved
in increasing international mindshare
of NTUC and tripartism in Singapore
through our representation
on boards and committees of
international labour organisations
and active participation in
international programmes.
• We learnt best employment practices
that were useful for Singapore
through participation in international
programmes and study visits to other
countries.
• Moving forward, NTUC aims to
align thinking within the labour
movement on international labour
issues and to provide support to
unions in their international work.
• We also want to further strengthen
international networks with the
International Labour Organization
and other international labour
agencies.

The NTUC Family
“The journey ahead will not be easy. But the results so far are
encouraging. As long as all parts of the labour movement can
continue to row forward as one, and with the support of our
tripartite partners, we can be confident of achieving our goal.”
