Philip yeo was one of Goh KS fav. See where yeo led us into. First was engineering, then bioscience. A bloody mess in everything he steered.On page 76 of Cheong Yip Seng's book OB MARKERS, he wrote:
"I was not surprised later when I heard Dr Goh's (Keng Swee) experience with MINDEF scholars. He had the pick of every cohort. Many of them did not make the cut, he told me. They did not have other qualities needed to succeed, like the the ability to lead people."
If Desmond Kuek's failure is as you described, WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAILURE in last election?I agree with you totally... this is epidemic failure of first degree.
Goh Meng Seng
Leegime no like strong type A, except the person in the mirror. Just like china emperors, only eunuchs allowed in the palace.The Singapore system severely penalizes Type A personalities, even in the military where it should thrive.
Nonsense. He succeeded totally in last GE. He did what the most powerful PAP election machinery could not achieve: election win for MBT.If Desmond Kuek's failure is as you described, WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAILURE in last election?
You are an imbecile Twit of multi mega daft proportions!
How did a
- OMS scholar
- schooled in Oxford
- schooled in Harvard
- SAF 6th SAF Defence Chief
- member of elite Admin Service
- Permanent Secretary
- CEO of one of the biggest GLC
Failed to show his face in the midst of the crisis, absolutely no sound or picture, takes the first chance of a showing his face by turning it into a cheap publicity photo opportunity by visiting his staff at the dorm like Mother Theresa and then to end up having a third of his affected staff in detention in a prison. Fucking clueless or scared shitless or both.
How did we end up with such leaders. Even a moron would know when to turn up at a funeral.
If someone cannot handle a minor issue, I worry. This guy was chief of the SAF at one time. We all have to worry how the cabinet ended up appointing him as the SAF chief. How did the selection mechanism throw him out as the best candidate. Or is he the best that we got.
Why did anyone tell him about the detention or was he aware and yet did not realise the implications of his action.
Why the Mother Theresa stunt?
Can you imagine how frustrated he is feeling now? Two of his former subordinates are above him, and TCJ probably made him stand at corner of conference room during the crisis committee meeting.If this guy gets into parliament TCJ and even Kee Chiu have to salute him
A better photo opportunity is to have a press conference and acknowledge the internal failure and promise action. He took over in Oct, this occurred in Nov. Though the seed of this disaster was set earlier, the crisis occurred in his watch.

The fact of the matter is this. He's still in charge. Those that were most responsible for the strike have been arrested and life goes on as usual. Pay your increasing fares for bad service staffed by cheap underpaid drivers and let's move on.

He demonstrated again in helping TT win the istana.

Looks like the management in SMRT is in bad shape and not only the engineering side. How did the PR head end up doing this Mother Theresa stunt. I am sure Desmond Kuek was not visiting flood victims, the homeless after a fire, etc
