Emcee Singapore - NTUC Platform Workers Appreciation Event 2026: Emcee Singapore Ivan Leads Tribute to Delivery Riders & Drivers at Tampines Changkat

On Wednesday, 3rd June 2026, the Tampines Changkat Community Club played host to a heartwarming afternoon of recognition and support. Emcee Singapore Ivan took the helm at the Level 3 Indoor Basketball Court, guiding the Platform Workers Appreciation Event with warmth and energy. The atmosphere was filled with genuine gratitude as the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) gathered to celebrate the backbone of Singapore’s daily deliveries and commutes. Emcee Singapore Ivan skillfully ensured that every platform worker—from delivery persons to taxi and private-hire drivers—felt the community’s deep appreciation for their tireless efforts.

The NTUC Union organized this celebration to address the real challenges faced by platform workers, including long hours, road safety, and future financial security. Emcee Singapore Ivan highlighted why this event was so crucial, noting that NTUC is championing better protections following the introduction of the Platform Workers Act in 2025. By bringing together partners and resources, the Emcee Singapore Ivan explained, NTUC aims to uplift these workers by raising awareness on CPF contributions, promoting safer riding habits, and encouraging better health practices. The event was not just a thank you, but a meaningful step toward ensuring platform workers feel secure and valued in their roles.

But what exactly does the NTUC Union do? As Emcee Singapore Ivan shared with the crowd, NTUC is Singapore’s leading national trade union centre, dedicated to making work better for all. Through its network of associations like the National Delivery Champions Association (NDCA) and the National Private Hire Vehicles Association (NPHVA), Emcee Singapore Ivan explained that NTUC negotiates for fairer earnings, improved welfare, and stronger representation. The union also provides upskilling opportunities via the Employment and Employability Institute (e2i), offers legal support, and pushes for policies that protect workers from injury and ensure retirement adequacy. Emcee Singapore Ivan made it clear that NTUC is a constant ally, walking alongside platform workers in every season of their careers.

The event saw the arrival of a key VIP, Grassroots Adviser to Tampines GRC Grassroots Organisations (Tampines-Changkat) and Deputy Secretary-General of NTUC, Mr. Desmond Choo. Emcee Singapore Ivan warmly welcomed Mr. Choo, who took time to personally mingle with platform workers at the various partner booths, listening to their stories and sharing a meal with them. Throughout the afternoon, Emcee Singapore Ivan kept the energy high as participants moved between interactive stations hosted by partners like Singhealth, ComfortDelGro, and the Singapore Heart Foundation. From road safety tips to digital skills quizzes and even a lucky draw, Emcee Singapore Ivan ensured every guest knew about the free gifts, medical advice, and special deals available exclusively for them.

By the time the event concluded at 4:30 PM, the indoor basketball court had transformed into a vibrant hub of connection and care. Emcee Singapore Ivan delivered the closing remarks with a sincere reminder that family begins with appreciating one another, and that events like this are just the beginning of NTUC’s ongoing commitment. As platform workers left with gifts, new knowledge, and a renewed sense of belonging, Emcee Singapore Ivan’s voice was the last they heard—extending a heartfelt invitation to stay involved, stay safe, and always know that the union has their back.
