The Multi-ministry Taskforce co-chairs by Gan Kim Yong and Lawrence Wong has done well.

Work was carried out quietly behind the scene and the announcement only made when everything was certain.

Kudos to all.

Another promise kept!

The National Jobs Council was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat in his fourth Budget on May 26 in response to the impact of the pandemic.

The National Job Council is headed by SM Tharman and went full speed.

It aimed to create close to 100,000 opportunities comprising jobs, 25,000 traineeships and 30,000 skills training placements.

The ambition of the council is "on a scale well beyond any past experience," SM Tharman Shanmugaratnam said in June.

The Council has already exceeded its target.
