NTA is a body set up by govt under
NTUC to control taxi drivers, like
NTWU that control transport workers in
singapore like bus drivers, mrt drivers and so on.
There are many industrial unions under NTUC, NTUC is like the HQ, each unions hv a president and
a govt personel like MPs or some high ranking civil servant that
include ministers to over see it, the president, like our Singapore
president, more of a figure head only, so called Jiak liao Bee
president. The MPs or ministers that oversee it holds the executive
powers to give order and steer the Unions in the flavour of govt
with an hidden agenda of getting support in the political
arena.
So, let take a look at NTA, they got a
jiak liao bee president for show, but behind him, it an important
figure, MP Ang, I heard he also hold position in NTUC and many other unions and govt sectors. And that is
also why everytime he is on news more than the president with issue
regarding taxi trade.
NTUC is a set up by PAP, it aim is to control the industrial for peace and
harmony, and also to gain support in it political way.
But the failure and cracks in NTUC are
seen in more recent even especially the SMRT
PRC bus driver strike, one of the director racial remark on
malay marriage ceremony and so on
