Swee Say endorses Chan Chun Sing as the best man for labour chief job
He says new NTUC sec-gen has the right qualities, and his relatively short stint as member of the labour movement not an issue

The man he is replacing, Lim Swee Say, doesn't think that the relatively short runway is consequential, and that what matters more is that Mr Chan ticks all the right boxes on the list of attributes that the NTUC wants to see in its next leader.
