V. Devan Nair its first secretary-general. The labour movement initially represented only a minority of unionised workers. Its membership, however, expanded quickly; by 1965, it was representing the majority of the organised workers in Singapore. In 1969, in view of the rapid industrialisation and economic development that were to take place in Singapore the following decade, the NTUC transformed its role from a bargaining institution into a social entity with an unequivocal stake in the country’s economy and which seeks to improve workers’ well-being through a range of means. As laid out in its constitution, the NTUC’s key objectives include improving working conditions and enhancing the economic and social status of workers, as well as the promotion of good industrial relations for the benefit of workers, employers and the economy. | [National Trades Union Congress] -- Background and establishment -- Modernisation of the labour movement -- Social enterprises, amenities and skills upgrading initiatives -- Restructuring of unions -- Symbiotic ties between NTUC and the PAP government -- Headquarters -- NTUC’s secretaries-general over the years -- Timeline -- Author -- References -- Further resources. | Singapore National Trades Union Congress | Politics and Government {18336134}|Economy {18486515}|Community and Social Services {18486492}|Organisations {18455234}|Trade and industry {18486530} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126} | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.

It was set up in 1959 as the Police Cadet Corps (PCC), against the backdrop of nation-building to break down the barrier between the people and the police, and at the same time strengthen the sense of discipline and civic responsibility in youths. The corps officially took on its current name on 20 July 1971, and it has been a compulsory co-curricular activity for secondary schools since 1975. Currently one of the largest uniformed groups in Singapore, its membership comprises secondary school students, as well as adult and youth volunteers from the education service, tertiary institutions and members of public. | [National Police Cadet Corps] -- Establishment -- Key developments -- Headquarters -- Uniform -- Cadet training and achievement recognition -- NPCC Annual Parade and NPCC Day -- Timeline -- References. | National Police Cadet Corps (Singapore) | Organisations {18455234}|Community and Social Services {18486492} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126} | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

It currently manages the National Library, a network of public libraries, the National Archives of Singapore (NAS), as well as a digital library that encompasses a range of electronic resources. Over the last two decades, the NLB has increased the number of public libraries from 10 in 1995 to the current 26. It has at the same time reinvented the role of libraries – from book lenders and venues for research to social learning spaces where people can participate in activities and learn through interacting with others. The board has also spearheaded a number of nationwide initiatives to promote reading and learning as well as to improve information literacy among Singaporeans. | [National Library Board] -- Background -- Establishment -- Transformation and evolution of library services -- Headquarters -- Physical libraries -- Digital library -- Programmes and exhibitions -- National Archives of Singapore -- Asian Film Archive -- Friends of the Library -- Significant milestones -- References. | Singapore.
