PM Wong Visits Public Transport Workers at SMRT’s Bishan Depot Ahead of Chinese New Year

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong exchanged greetings with over 180 public transport workers at SMRT’s Bishan depot on the morning of Feb 16.

Accompanied by National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) president K. Thanaletchimi, NTUC secretary-general Ng Chee Meng, and Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow, PM Wong distributed goodie bags to train captains, station managers, maintenance technicians, and engineers.

Each goodie bag contained a pair of mandarin oranges, a thermal flask from PM Wong, and a S$10 red packet from NTUC.

While touring the depot, PM Wong stopped to speak to workers to learn more about their duties and thank them for their hard work.

He ended his visit with a mass lo hei (tossing of yusheng) with around 70 workers.

The visit was hosted by SMRT chairman Seah Moon Ming and SMRT group chief executive Ngien Hoon Ping.
