The evening began with a stunning sand art performance, which took us on a beautiful journey through 65 years of AUPE’s history, commemorating the significant milestones that have shaped our union and strengthened our commitment to public sector employees.
Watch the Sand Art Performance!
Experience the breathtaking sand art performance that beautifully captured 65 years of AUPE’s history. From Mr. G. Kandasamy founding AUPE in 1959, the historic strikes, to the transition from our first AUPE HQ to the current Wisma AUPE building and more, each scene vividly portrays the milestones that have shaped AUPE into the strong union it is today. Watch the full performance now and enjoy the artistry that celebrates our rich legacy.
We were honoured to have His Excellency, Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, President of the Republic of Singapore, as our esteemed Guest-of-Honour. His presence added prestige to the event, reminding us of the critical role AUPE has played in Singapore’s public sector over the years.
A key moment of the evening was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between AUPE and GovInsider. This strategic partnership marks an exciting step forward, providing AUPE’s Professionals, Managers, and Executives (PMEs) with access to inspiring public sector innovation content and exclusive events that will help them grow, learn, and network in a rapidly evolving public service landscape. The MOU signing was witnessed by NTUC Secretary General, Mr. Ng Chee Meng, AUPE President, Mr. Jefry Mohamad, and GovInsider Director, Mr. Adrian Sng, symbolizing a shared vision for the future of public sector transformation.
We were also proud to announce the setting up the AUPE Alumni during the dinner, which recognises and honours our long-serving members. From 1 Jan 2025, the AUPE Alumni will be able to enjoy 3 key benefits of our union membership “Work, Live and Play” at a subsidized rate, ensuring that their contributions to AUPE continue to be valued and appreciated.
In addition, we are thrilled to share that AUPE will be upgrading our building in the third quarter of 2025! This exciting development promises to enhance our facilities, better serving the needs and desires of our members while improving overall functionality and comfort. We can’t wait to see the positive changes these upgrades will bring, and we look forward to experiencing the improved space together.
We hope everyone enjoyed the dinner as much as we did, and we look forward to celebrating more milestones and exciting moments ahead for AUPE and the public sector!
