I have a PSLE of 120 but I am CEO of a GLC

goh lian kuan? used to be OC marine police? the guy who like to fish and cook? staying at 3rm flat after retirement???

Anchorage, I was told. Not aware of his hobbies but aware he CMI. Still in MHA with KBH. Mati mati won't leave. While KBH is a Sr DS, I think GLK is a Sr Dir there. CBL.

Singapore's and Old man very first PPS. Considered the reigning Mandarin after the Bogaars, Pillay, Sim, Ngiam era. Unfortunately unlike the first batch of PSs who will confront a Minister, LSG set the tone by being policy wonks and accommodaters. This was the break from the British style where due to experience and age, PSs were powerful mandarins. LSG became powerful but to a less powerful era of senior politcians. Nice guy though.

By the way, his son who had to repeat his A levels in ACS but is now in the elite Admin Service after getting OMS - go figure.

The other PPS to LKY who was untouchable in the civil service was Lim Siong Guan. Also a quiet and low profile chap. Was told when LSG was Head CS and a PS, other Perm Secs also takok this man.

You may be right but he is the only one in the cohort who is considered capable. He was actually the strategy lead for 2006 campaign but was replaced by Viv B in mid-stream. He has also covered or is covering all key Ministries required of a PM.

Kee Chiu is a votergetter - a HDB aunty killer, look at the high pants, haircut, manner of speech, single mum washerwoman background. Easy sell by grassroots. Takeover old man patch in grassroots. He is not going anywhere.

NEH probably rubbed someone powerful in wrong way, not surprising given his character.

Kee Chiu is actually a very good number two. A bit like joe Biden. Not a threat, appears clumsy but likable. Has some people skills to get things done.

After KBH, GLK and CCK, can the SPF go lower?

tee tua bah good CP???

Son was known to be a very intelligent boy in primary school. Any idea what went wrong? Family upbringing very conducive and yet repeat A levels.

 

[Charlie99]

Not aware HSK was once OC Patrol. Yes, yet to hear anything negative about him while he was in the SPF. He was offered CP post in the past but wisely rejected the invitation.

Why?

He could have been CP of the SPF for 2 to 3 years, then move up and on.

So-so only. Not very steady when confronted by MHA. I opine GYH was the most steady. Was told he and Jayakumar were law school mates. Most jialak title goes to KBH.

May be repeated "A" levels, because he did not pass GP?

glc are most inefficient companies in sgp.

they are poorly run and dont really make money if there is free market competition.

PSLE is just a junior game. Even if you lose it, it is not the end yet. Only PAP is still following the old concept. A sad case.

We have a mathematician as a Pee-M and to date he still can't tell us how GST help the poor.

I personally don't think NEH can make it. Too arrogant and honestly not much vision. Only thing going for him is that he has some physical resemblance to old man. The other elites don't really like him too. Maybe old man is just playing a game with NEH and kee Chiu, to help make the next PM more palatable and acceptable, or to divert attention away from his PM designate.

NEH is a waste of time

Repeat A level can get OMS? And now in the Admin Services?

Something is very wrong

Thats a good one. Really laughed. !!

[scroobal]

Don't tell anyone and it is highly confidential and no one knows about this one - I heard that a former cabinet minister's son got 12 years NS deferment. I know no one will believe me. Top secret.

Grades only play a small part. The rest are connection, charm and hard work.

Hi boys and girls,

Dont matter if you dont have great PSLE scores. Look around you. You can be Director of a govt institute, or the CEO of a GLC. What matters is who you know and what you do after that.

Some of the great companies in S'pore are led by low scorers in PSLE. Conversely, high PSLE scorers can be found unemployed, retrenched, or as business and career failures. Or losing our soveriegn assets in wild gambles with high stakes.

120 for PSLE is considered in the retarded special school category liao you know!

Are you sure it was not a typo?!

GST helps the poor to understand the concept of money no enough.
