NTUC bosses must be laughing their way to the bank!

The PAP co-opted four new members into its CEC on 19 Nov 2020. The co-opting of Victor Lye and Ng Chee Meng was a move which stunned political pundits and party members.

Sheng Siong supermarket is truly impressive. After announcing an additional one month salary for its employees, it went around neighbourhoods silently giving donations at wakes out of kindness. This is setting the bar way too high for competitor NTUC FairPrice supermarket which is already being accused of raising its prices during COVID-19.

Once again, the missus of the Prime Minister of our country has lashed out at Singaporeans who have voiced their grievances at how much swabbers are being paid vs how much our front line professionals, service staff and cleaning crew are paid. "For anyone who think their pay is unfairly lower than the swabbers, stop whining and go volunteer to be trained to do the swabbing."

After admitting that the 4G leadership made mistakes in handling the Covid19 situation, she now turns her aim at Singaporeans to scold them for complaining about NTUC service fees for online delivery. Ho Ching still has the cheek to ask people who "wishes to have delivery for free, to please step up and volunteer to do delivery for the rest of us." She goes on to tell them to "stop yelping like a spoilt kid wanting more and more without putting in any effort to help others."

Not sure if anyone notice. NTUC groceries price seems to have gone up by about 20%. Many fresh produce usually one offer or 1 for 1 seems to have disappear. All these happened right after the new announcement that we have to be prepared that food supplies disruption. If you notice or this is worth a thought. Please share and start buying from different source. Support local small businesses too!

Note how the speech comes at a time when Singapore's General Election draws ever nearer, and also how he did not subtly try to hide his words. He said the PAP and NTUC to work together, not NTUC to work with the Singapore government, with opposition and all. So, he has gone all out to ask NTUC to work with a specific political party, thus bringing in partisan politics to a Trade Union.

One of the best commentaries ever in our newspapers! I refer to Chua Mui Hoong’s article “PAP should be wary of being too intrusive” (Sunday Times, Nov 26).

Some netizens have been complaining about visible blue dyes on vegetables they bought from NTUC and asked if it is safe to eat. Better be careful!

Our reader alerted us to an expired item on NTUC's shelf and its inaction despite her complaint. The expired jelly and NTUC's negligence has caused her 2 year old daughter to get diarrhoea a few times.
