全国労働組合会議(NTUC)事務総長のン・チーメン議員(ジャラン・カユ選挙区)は5月5日夜、「雇用なき成長を許さないAI移行」動議を提出した(共同提出者:マーク・リー、サクティアンディ、ヨー・ワンリン)。動議は、AI主導の成長が公平性・強靭性・万人への機会に立脚すべきであり、シンガポールに「雇用なき成長」があってはならないことを議会が確認するよう求めた。彼はNTUC調査(回答者の5人に1人が雇用保障を最大の懸念に挙げ、PMEの56%がスキル向上の必要性を実感)を引いて労働者の不安を説明し、4つの実践的施策を提案した。シンガポールの実情に根ざした労働市場インテリジェンス・予見システムの構築、企業訓練委員会(CTC、2019年以降3,800超設立、30万人超が恩恵)を通じた労働者と共に進む企業変革の支援とシンガポール全国雇用者連盟(SNEF)との共同展開、AI-Ready SGなど訓練経路の拡大(今後数年で100万超の訓練枠が目標)、そして解雇前の政府への事前通知や求職者支援制度(JSS)の適用範囲を中央値月収約5,000ドルからPME中央値収入水準へ引き上げるなど、離職者が尊厳をもって再起できる支援である。演説後、討論は翌日に延期された。
原文の抜粋(英語)
At 8.29 pm on 5 May 2026, Mr Ng Chee Meng (Jalan Kayu), Secretary-General of NTUC, moved a Motion — also standing in the names of Mr Mark Lee, Mr Saktiandi Supaat and Ms Yeo Wan Ling — that the House recognise the transformative power of AI to drive Singapore's next phase of economic development, anchor AI-enabled growth in fairness, resilience and opportunity for all, equip workers and enterprises to seize new opportunities, and affirm that Singapore must not have jobless growth. Speaking to anxious young graduates, mid-career PMEs and blue-collar workers, he noted that AI is automating routine junior tasks even as it creates new roles; one in five NTUC survey respondents cited job security as their top concern, and 56% of PMEs felt they needed to upskill. He outlined four practical moves. First, build a Singapore-specific system of labour-market intelligence and foresight, combining trade association insights, enterprise data and union sensing. Second, enable enterprises — especially SMEs, which employ about 70% of the workforce — to transform with AI in ways that benefit workers, scaling the Company Training Committee model (more than 3,800 CTCs since 2019, benefiting over 300,000 workers) jointly with SNEF under the new Tripartite Jobs Council; he cited Tan Tock Seng Hospital's AI-enabled PreSAGE fall-risk monitoring system as an example of AI augmenting nursing work. Third, help workers seize new opportunities through e2i's AI Career Coach, NTUC LearningHub skills pathways and AI-Ready SG, which has put more than 4,000 workers through AI training since February, with plans to scale to over one million training places. Fourth, enable displaced workers to bounce back with dignity: advance notification of retrenchments to the Government before the last working day, early deployment of career support through 27 National Career Centres, and expanding SkillsFuture Jobseeker Support coverage from the roughly $5,000 median income closer to PME median income levels. Declaring that "in Singapore, every worker matters", he begged to move; the debate was then adjourned to the next sitting day.
