TR EMERITUS

It was an incident a few days before a Christmas party that it  dawned on me the simplistic, if not ignorant, view certain groups of people have of other groups and thus in turn  has inevitably created a negative impact on racial harmony within the work place. My company has set aside some budget so that its worldwide... 

For political reasons (i.e. the two Water Agreements with Malaysia), the water component of PUB could not be corporatized, unlike Singapore Powers. Years later, PUB offers itself as a point of reference to compare and contrast with the rest of Singapore Inc. which had marched down the path of corporatization and monetization. Being... 

据说苏碧华能够当上地铁总裁，乃是因为她和何晶是闺中好友的关系。 政府当年赶上里根—撒切尔主义热潮，要把所有的公共服务都私营化，却出了一个阴招，就是台面上是私营化，台底下只是政联化。而今天看来，它还有一个好处，就是可以作为一个民怨的缓冲器，部长对于服务不好，还可以震怒、还可以很生气，认为事情很严重…… 作为精英集团的一份子，苏碧华不一定要留在地铁公司，不过却要把角色扮演好。以目前的形势看来，苏碧华为执政党的大选“改善”地铁交通，足足撑了七个月（2011年5月至今）才出问题，若论评级，应该也是AAA的了。接下来她就要和交通部长吕德耀唱一出大戏《周瑜打黄盖》，演一个愿打一个愿挨。她的苦情戏一直要演到底，苏这只待罪羊要有很好的心理建设，既要七情上面，又不能入戏太深。所以她要一直道歉，一直低头受指责...

But fate’s a cruel mistress. Even as government mandarins scramble to douse the flames, a ruling People’s Action... 

Arguably, the SMRT crisis management fiasco and ministerial pay are the hottest issues hogging the cyberspace limelight now. The former is recent and the latter enduring since pre-election and still is a burning question. Understandably, some emotive content, even debatable of politically flavored of correctness or otherwise... 

The Member of Parliament for Ang Mo Kio GRC, Mr Seng Han Thong who infuriated many Singaporeans with his allegedly racist remark against SMRT staff has posted a “Thank You” message on his Facebook page on Saturday expressing his appreciation to the workers from the National Transportation Workers’ Union... 

The new PUB CEO, Rear Admiral (NS) Chew Men Leong, who formally took over the top position of PUB on 7 Dec knows he is on a hot seat. This former Chief of Navy joined PUB as its designated head in July this year before formally taking over from the incumbent CEO, Khoo Teng Chye on 7 Dec, two weeks ago. Rear Admiral Chew... 

TAIPEI – Taiwan will reduce compulsory military service from one year to four months, the defense ministry said Dec. 14, in what is widely seen as a first step towards scrapping conscription altogether. Benefiting from improved ties with mainland China, the island’s young men will have to spend shorter time...
