  Trade union leader Ong Ah Heng is stepping down from the helm of the National Transport Workers' Union.
  This was announced by SMRT Corporation's chief executive officer at a union function on Wednesday.
  
  Ms Saw Phaik Hwa noted that Mr Ong, who has been the executive secretary since 1981, has always had the workers' interest at heart in the years he has served in the transport workers' union.
  
  Mr Ong, who did not wish to be interviewed, will continue to be the union's consultant.
  
  He continues to serve in the National Trades Union Congress and is the Member of Parliament for Nee Soon Central.

  WHY DO WE NEED MPS?
  
  We are the only country
  
  Once a policy is made,
  
  No one speak the contrary,
  
  No MPs disagree with policy,
  
  Or speak for the people,
  
  It is only the mundane,
  
  Only the harmless,
  
  That they will speak,
  
  As leaders are perfect,
  
  Leaders always right,
  
  Once policy has been made,
  
  No matter how wrong,
  
  No MPs ever speak or disagree,
  
  As MPs know only too well,
  
  To rock the boat is suicidal,
  
  To lose the next ticket to success,
  
  MPs after MPs stay in good book,
  
  Trouble no troubles until trouble troubles,
  
  Speaking makes no difference,
  
  Big salaries, bonuses and directorship will.
