3rd March 2026 – Mediacorp Ch 8 News

We are proud to share that SECA President Mr. Somchai Virabhak was recently interviewed by Mediacorp Channel 8 News to discuss the latest initiatives transforming the electrical skilled trade.

A huge thank you to SECA member Mr. Koh Jia Xing (Syntigro), who stepped up and volunteered to be featured for his inspiring journey as a young engineer. Jia Xing was also specially mentioned in the Minister for Manpower’s parliamentary speech regarding the landmark MOU between MOM and the Specialist Trade Alliance of Singapore (STAS).

This MOU paves the way for:

• Structured skills progression ladders.
• Enhanced apprenticeship programs for electricians.
• A future-ready workforce.

At SECA, we believe industry growth thrives on member participation. We invite all partners to join us in shaping a more robust electrical trade.
