APOLOGY
Before he became NTUC chief, Mr. Ng addressed the recent online discussions involving a Ministry of Education ( MOE ) dialogue that took place in 2017.
” I value the hard work instructors do every day. They “make a huge difference in our kids ‘ life,” he said.
” I do not recall the precise terms I used that day because almost a century has passed since the speech.” I regret if any of my statements came across as rude, especially if the speakers had posed valid issues.
” I could have handled the circumstance stronger,” I said. I honestly apologize. I have heard and accepted the criticism, and I did continue to perform better.

The post’s artist, who identified themselves as MOE Beginning Teachers, claimed Mr. Ng had “reacted immediately in rage” to their query. Additionally, the professor shared being instructed to stand up when being spoken to.
