A piece of advice to everyone: if you have SMRT shares now, sell them immediately.

When SAF idiots take the helm of any organization, it will not end well. Trust me.

but the fuck thing is Temasek owned shares do not react to market sentiments, they move with government's intervention.

He's only 35 and there is no mention about his previous post in HK MTR so you don't even know whether he's a technical guy.
There is this application called "Google". Quite useful. I have used it to find this :

Eight new hires! What happen to those they replaced. Were they fired or still on the job.
Are we seeing a bloated SMRT Management Team?

During Saw's time not so long ago, they had quite a number of resignations. Then some new hires and promotions to fill up those positions.
The SGX announcement pages for a couple of days then were filled with SMRT management movement announcements.
Looks like it's deja-vu again, and it wouldn't matter if the primary purpose of providing efficient public transport services were to improve.
But would it?

This guy is the only one with real world experience:

Director of rail infrastructure Simon Tang, 35, who was previously with Hong Kong's MTR Corp and Kowloon Canton Railway Corp.

The rest were obviously buddies, selected based on paper records and past university majors which have long been thrown away.

Desmond in his first management moves has failed. In real world operations, you need to motivate. Bringing in regiment, will kill motivation and usher out talent, which SMRT may not be able to cope. But the direction he is going is by knocking heads and breaking skulls. There will be challenges by unions which will be killed off by NTUC.

Then the whole saga will repeat itself like the past when the trains almost came to standstill due to industrial action. Things may repeat.

Don't they ever learn?
