The Labour Movement Pays Tribute to Mr Lee Kuan Yew



30 March 2015


The Labour Movement Pays Tribute to Mr Lee Kuan Yew

   

The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) held a tribute service at the Singapore Conference Hall tonight to honour the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of Singapore and a dear brother to the Labour Movement. Over 800 guests, comprising union leaders, members of the Labour Movement family and communities, members of the People’s Action Party, as well as management and government partners, gathered to pay tribute to him. The event was also attended by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and family members.

At the memorial service, 14 speakers paid tribute to the late Mr Lee. Amongst them were pioneer generation, mature and younger union leaders; flowed-on and current labour leaders; as well as tripartite partners. A video which captures late Mr Lee’s involvement and journey with the Labour Movement was screened before the speakers delivered their tribute pieces (to view the video, click here). The service ended with all guests observing a minute of silence.

An area in the foyer of the Singapore Conference Hall was also set up for guests to pen condolence messages.

Please refer to the attached media release below to read the tribute pieces, or for more details.
