Letter to Voters of Jalan Kayu

Proposed Sale of Income Insurance to Allianz in 2024 and Mr Ng Chee Meng’s Accountability
I have written this Letter to the Voters of Jalan Kayu SMC (see attached document), where Mr Ng Chee Meng is seeking election as a Member of Parliament. It concerns Mr Ng’s leadership role in the aborted sale of Income Insurance to Allianz in 2024.

Mr Ng made a very public endorsement of the proposed sale on 5 August 2024, the day before the first parliamentary debate. Between 6 August and 14 October — when the deal was stopped in Parliament — he did not offer any clarification, even as public concerns mounted. Ultimately, the deal collapsed following widespread public outcry and urgent intervention by the Government.

As many of you know, I was a protagonist in the public debate over this issue, which was close to my heart. In late July 2024, I wrote privately to Mr Ng and to Ms K. Thanaletchimi, President of NTUC, to express my concerns. I also posted extensively on social media to highlight the risks and implications. Despite these efforts, Mr Ng did not respond to my representations, nor did he publicly engage as scrutiny grew following the parliamentary debates of 6 August 2024.

Between August and October 2024, as national concern deepened, he remained silent on the key issues surrounding governance, mission, and accountability.

As Secretary-General of NTUC and a member of the NTUC Enterprise Board that approved the deal, Mr Ng bears leadership responsibility for what transpired.

Now that he seeks the trust and mandate of Jalan Kayu residents, it is fair — and necessary — for citizens to ask him to account for his role and decisions.

We live in a troubled world. Citizens must speak up on matters that affect our collective future, especially when decisions are taken in our name. These are not acts of division; they are acts of care for our country and for the institutions we rely upon.

For a young democracy like Singapore, such open engagement is vital to our nation’s future and resilience. To be able to speak up freely is a privilege. To speak up when one feels it matters is a citizen’s responsibility.

It is in this spirit that I write this open letter to the voters of Jalan Kayu.
I owned quite a few income policies. I’m an still worried about current NTUC governance

Income-allianze is a mega fail, 3 ministers (Gky+ET+DL) got to apologize. Even more mega than NRIC, 2 ministers (Jo + Indranee) apologized. Maybe that's why LW don coattail brother Ng in AMK, instead Victor Lye.

Power lah, this reflects on ng Chee Meng’s character and ability to speak up when push comes to shove. Seems he just hid and did not voice out why he supported the deal even with the capital extraction plan! His role in the deal just swept under the carpet and it’s clear PAP want him in parliament. Does he deserve it?
