As a designated PSP, the labour movement will be required to make annual disclosures on political donations of S$10,000 or more, as well as its foreign affiliations. NTUC acknowledges being designated as a PSP without objection, and notes that MHA is doing so as a"pre-emptive measure" to mitigate foreign interference, said its secretary-general Ng Chee Meng."NTUC will continue championing workers' interests for better wages, welfare and work prospects. We assure the public and our partners that our operations and services will continue unabated," Mr Ng added.
“NTUC’s designation will also not include NTUC’s personnel such as its Central Committee members and employees,” MHA added, noting, however, that some of NTUC’s Central Committee members and appointment holders may already be PSPs by virtue of their roles outside NTUC."The National Trades Union Congress is aligned with national safeguards to prevent foreign interference, and we will continue to ensure that our operations remain free from foreign influence," a spokesperson told CNA.
Maruah and Think Centre were designated as PSPs in December 2023 and are therefore subject to stricter measures on political donations.
