wikipedia:
The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), also known as the
Singapore National Trades Union Congress (SNTUC), is the sole
national trade union centre in Singapore. As of June 2006, it has
64 Trade Unions and 6 Affiliates.
NTUC was created in 1961 when the labour movement, which had backed
the People's Action Party (PAP) in its successful drive for
self-government, split into the pro-PAP NTUC and the leftist
Singapore Association of Trade Unions (SATU). The SATU collapsed in
1963 following the government's detention of its leaders during
Operation Coldstore, leaving NTUC as the sole trade union centre.
Presently, over 98% of union members are in unions affiliated with
the NTUC.
Relations between PAP and NTUC are very close, and have often
resulted in members holding office in both organizations at the
same time. Ong Teng Cheong, the first directly elected President of
Singapore, was both the NTUC secretary general, and the Deputy
Prime Minister (from 1985), until his presidential election. Lim
Boon Heng, the previous secretary general, is also a Member of
Parliament, and the Chairman of the People's Action Party. As of
January 5, 2007, Lim Swee Say, the deputy Secretary General, has
replaced Lim Boon Heng. [1]
