Military men have an excellent track record when it comes to running companies.

It boils down to be being a good leader of men regardless of industry.

"10 CEOs Who Have Seen Military Combat"

Ours are paper 'NDP' generals. Bad examples.

"10 CEOs Who Have Seen Military Combat"

Ours are paper 'NDP' generals. Bad examples.

not only that the article said that the number of boardroom generals has dwindled from 58% to 8% from the 1980s to today,this shows that having a junta like corporation is not proven to be very effective and companies are no longer run like a military like in the past tradition.

He is faring better than the average stinkees. If he is moron, the we are retards.

It shouldn’t have even tot of bidding because SMRT’s market capitalisation of S$2.3bn was only 30% more than reported bid price.. It’s finances are not in great shape either. At the end of its last financial yr, cash flow was negative and gearing stood at 65%, while it also suffered its first loss in its fare business.

It also has operational problems here.

So what were the ex-scholar and his fellow ex-SAF officers thinking?

Plenty of things to do in S’pore (including more reliable service) and it doesn’t need any distraction abroad,”

And going abroad in a political nightmare for the govt and SMRT: if it loses money, S’poreans will be screaming (rightly) that the public is subsidising their failure overseas.

The investment bank that brought a proposal to SMRT to bid should have been sent packing immediately, not entertained enough so that a staff member would leak that SMRT was planning to bid.
