THE National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) on Wednesday paid a glowing tribute to its outgoing secretary-general Lim Swee Say, who earlier in the day tendered his resignation. He will vacate the post on May 4, the day he is to become Singapore's new Manpower Minister, with Chan Chun Sing - the current NTUC deputy secretary-general - taking over as the country's labour chief.
In a letter to Mr Lim, NTUC president president Diana Chia said she accepted his resignation "with deep regret" and thanked him for his many contributions over the years.
