NTUC will be designated a politically significant person under the Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act.
It is in the public interest to do so, given NTUC’s close nexus and symbiotic relationship with the People’s Action Party , MHA said.
To safeguard domestic politics, the law applies to two categories of people and organisations: defined politically significant persons and designated politically significant persons.Certain groups and individuals who are directly involved in Singapore’s political processes are defined as politically significant persons.
They are required to maintain a separate bank account to receive political donations, and cannot accept any volunteer labour or services provided by foreigners. “It is not because NTUC has been compromised by a foreign actor, or has committed any wrongdoing nor anything of concern,” MHA added.
