It has been a year of trepidation with the pandemic impacting everyone worldwide. But one thing is certain in Singapore – that NTUC, unions and tripartite partners are doing all that we can to save the lives and livelihoods of our workers.

It may not be the easiest, but we should not forget to celebrate achievements too! I’m heartened that the Singapore Organisation of Seamen (SOS) continues to fight for our seafaring sisters and brothers who were impacted by the pandemic and will continue to do so as the world starts to recover from the pandemic.

To me as the labour chief, it has and will continue to be about jobs, jobs and jobs – helping our workers keep their jobs; helping those who lost their jobs find jobs soonest; and skilling up those in jobs to take on higher-value roles. I’m confident that SOS will do your best to serve and take care of our seafaring workers. For the many years to come, NTUC will support you every step of the way😊

Happy 50th Anniversary SOS!
