what do you think of SMRT Service level and KPI? Improving? do you think Desmand Kuek is a better CEO than Saw Phaik Hwa?
From the views of SMRT workers, this chap is extremely "yaya papaya".
He has pissed off many of the old birds in SMRT and a lot of them were either asked or forced to leave.
He has been recruiting a lot of his old time SAF buddies to join SMRT.
He is no difference from that Saw in practicing nepotism and does not knows how to treasure the experience staffs.
Based on several recent train breakdown cases, he didn't and can't do much to improve the maintenance of the trains, tracks and systems.
All trains, tracks and system are still very worn down and waiting for more screw ups.
He has a pair of eyes on his forehead and only knows how to manage using his helicopter vision.
A very wayang chap who knows how to present himself well right in front of the media and TV.
He has no substance, experience and even knowledge about trains even though he is trained in engineering science from Oxford.
