Outgoing Minister for Social and Family Development Tan Chuan-Jin received an exuberant and unusual farewell yesterday.

About 150 employees of his ministry, the National Council of Social Service and SG Enable joined him for a warm-up session before he led some of them on a 6km run at MacRitchie Reservoir.

Mr Tan, 48, is set to take up the role of Speaker of Parliament next week.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong nominated him to be Singapore's 10th Speaker, which requires him to step down from the Cabinet.

Netizens, surprised by the nomination of a core member of the fourth-generation political leadership as Speaker, had seized on Mr Tan's Facebook for clues on its significance.

In one of the posts, he said: "May God continue to grant me wisdom, courage and love in all that I do. However inadequate as I may be, I hope that I can fight the good fight, finish the race and keep the faith." (2 Timothy 4:7)

On Wednesday evening, he urged people not to read too much into it, saying he noticed "some doing serious practical criticism of every word and punctuation... It's an affirmation of what I believe and cherish, as best as I can manage.

"I've shared these sentiments before so relax... no need to over-interpret LOL," he added, using the acronym for "laughing out loud".

Tan Chuan-Jin was glad to accept Mr Lee's nomination and hoped fellow MPs would support it. He said: "Good ideas can come from both sides of the House, as does good intent. In fact, they abound throughout the length and breadth of our society. Our duty must be to harness these for the common good."

When the new MRT station is complete, the heritage building will be used as a community building first, and later it will be part of the Greater Southern Waterfront.

Tanjong Pagar Railway Station was officially opened in May 1932 and served as the key operational railway station in Singapore until operations ceased on July 1, 2011.

It was gazetted as a national monument that year.

When Singapore left Malaysia in 1965, Malayan Railway (KTM) retained its railway possessions on Singapore island.

Then in a land-swop deal sealed in 2010, Singapore exchanged parcels of land in other areas for the prime land the station stood on.

The KTM station has moved to Woodlands.

Fond Farewell

Source Website:

http://www.fond-farewell.com/farewell-letters.html
http://www.fond-farewell.com/goodbye-letter-for-co-workers.html
By Quality Lab (HW & SW)




It has been many years.

Every morning with the ever smiling greetings and then the rush of morning activities, machineries, equipments and computers are turned on for the day's tasks. Sets are taken, unpacked and setup for the required tests. Later loud blast of audio filled the air and TV screen lighted with the familiar video of the happy singing frogs, and flying butterflies among the lush greenery. The environment busses with the exciting chatting and humorous exchange. Somebody's fair butts are required to judge some injustices.

Soon this will be no more.

The coffee aroma has barely settled down when the news is received. This is the day when the sun stops shinning and darkness resides the world. Our quality lab will close down and the testings will be done elsewhere. Life carry on as usual for the rest of the company, but as for us, we will miss the gentle voice and helping hands, giving the necessary directions to tunnel through the mountains of difficulties. Our staffs, leaders and engineers are always promptly at hand to put things right whenever a problem arises. We cannot imagine the consequences without them around. These people are special. Their efforts and actions have touched our heart and we are very grateful of their care and concern.

We still remember the many happy moments we shared together. Not long ago we were flying kites at Marina Bay Sand, BBQ happily at west coast and playing hilariously at East Coast. We hold hands, tied ourselves and joined forces to pit in friendly matches. The rules were simple to follow and the fun was great. We enjoyed tremendously. All these were possible because of the group of people who has worked quietly behind the scene, organising such wonderful and highly co-operative events. Such fond memories will remain in our heart for a long time to come. There were many lasting impressions and unforgettable moments of friendships and family bonding.

But now is the time, now is the moment, we have to separate.

Many had been with the company since their younger days. From morning till night, from young till old, from single till married, and from own generation till another generation. The young girls and men whom we once know had become parents and grandparents. 5, 10, ..., 30 and more years had passed. It is heartening to see them still standing by stoically, when the company need them most. They braved through the fierce storms and worst crises that came regularly with ferocious might. Their sacrifices and loyalties will be remembered and treasured. Without them, we won't be where we are today.

But tomorrow we will go back to be alone again.

Along the way we met many people. We have the opportunities to grow rich in work experiences as well as relationship with others. We become more mature and value all those around us. The more we treasured our colleagues and the working environments, the greater the impact, when we are told to leave from our lab. No amount of words can express our feelings adequately. We may pretend that all are insignificant but our hearts are still painful. Everybody is still important to us.

Our journeys are indeed long and difficult. At times we wonder whether our old bones are able to withstand the tough situations. The kind helps have been a source of strength and comforts during those difficult times. We appreciate all that could be done for us. Thank you very much.

"If you look closer you’ll see …the track of my tears."

Fond farewell gives one more chance to meaningfully connect us, who are leaving, and those who are left behind.

Our partings words....


When the nights follow the days
Our friendship will always stay
No matter how far you maybe
You will always be in my memories.
(Anon)


May your days be many and your troubles are few.
May all God's blessings descend upon you.
May peace be within you, May your heart be strong...
May you find what you're seeking wherever you roam.
(Irish Toast)
