Ng Chee Meng responds to court’s criticism of NTUC Income, says insurer ‘could have done better’
NTUC Secretary-General Ng Chee Meng has addressed a court ruling that criticised Income Insurance for “stonewalling” and “unfounded objections” in a 2019 accident case. He expressed sympathy to the late Ko Wah’s family and said the insurer had accepted the judgment, acknowledging it “could have done better”.

In a Facebook post on 8 October 2025, Ng said the judgment surrounding the insurer’s handling of a claim by the estate of the late Ko Wah had been “of deep concern” to him.

The remarks came a week after media outlets reported that the court had awarded S$417,000 in damages to Ko’s son, Jonathan Ko Wei Ze, who represented his father’s estate.

Ng expressed sympathy to the Ko family, noting their “grief and emotional distress” during the prolonged legal process.

He emphasised that while NTUC does not interfere with the daily commercial decisions of its affiliated enterprises, those under the labour movement’s umbrella must uphold high standards of fairness, integrity, and compassion.

“These values are the foundation of our work and our promise to the people we serve,” Ng wrote.

He added that while Income Insurance had since accepted the court’s decision, reflection was necessary to ensure future conduct aligns with the organisation’s ethical expectations.

“Income must balance rigour and due process with greater empathy and compassion. I expect no less,” Ng stated.

“To the Ko family, I wish you peace and healing as you navigate through this difficult time.
