For SOS and Seacare, this year’s May Day had
another significant reason to celebrate. At the
May Day Dinner also held at the same place the
night before, three of our comrades received the
Comrade of Labour Award.
“This is beyond my dream. I
never thought that one day I would go up on
stage and receive a prestigious award such as
this from NTUC Secretary-General Mr Lim Boon
Heng,” said Mr Bon Sheun Ping.
Mr Bon’s sentiment was also
shared by Award recipients Mr Mohamad Abu Bakar
and Mr Nazarudin Nandok who were all smiles
throughout the night.
“Our three deserving comrades
were very active in whipping support for the
fledgling SOS at a very crucial time in its
history and has been actively associated with
the SOS ever since. As elected officials of the
SOS, they take upon themselves the task of
trying to help their fellow seamen in whatever
way they can,” Mr Leow Ching Chuan, SOS General
Secretary told Samudra.
They have laboured hard for
both SOS and Seacare and have made significant
contributions to better the life of the members.
This is a proud moment for all of us. We truly
celebrate with them!”
