A repeat of ex-cabinet minister and NTUC Lim Chee Onn's saga who also was found wanting. Had to quit suddenly from all political position and given no.2 role in Keppel under Sim Kee Boon. This is the type of parachute that is offered to scholars who quit to join the politics. This then breeds mediocrity as there will be no desire to push the boundaries and let the best one rise.
Take a look at his interview (published here courtesy of JW5) and within the short period where he is now. Its a disgrace.
Keppel is also into property development. Looks like there will it be boundless synergy between and husband and wife.
Mr Ong added that he will start work next week as a director looking after group strategy.
Go in as management trainee or on student attachment????
I do not see Sim Ann, Heng Swee Kiat, and others who quit the service get such lavish treatment.
The huge difference is that they won their elections.
Director looking after group strategy hor, don't play play.

LCO had to go. Not because he couldn't get along with union leaders. Not because he was found wanting. He was investgated by the CPIB and the higher-ups decided he had to step down. But to save their own faces, they gave the excuse that he could not get along with union leaders. Surely they would have been able to size him up whether he is able to make it with the union leaders before appointing him as head. My info is 100%accurate on why LCO had to step down.
But ulike NBG and xyz, LCO did not have to face the music and drama.
Ah gugu ah gugu..
At Maris Stella High, he stuck mostly with Chinese-speaking friends. Values such as 'community, friendship, honouring one's word' were all-important.
He had a rude shock enrolling at Raffles Junior College. 'In a Chinese school, if we say 'This coming test is stupid, we're not going to study', we don't,' he recounts. 'At RJC, some Raffles Institution boys said no need to study for the first test of the year. I didn't, but they did. I came in second last.'
But today, he is thankful to have learnt Chinese, rather than English, as his first language, saying it has wired his brain differently. 'English is very analytical, linear; it's phonics with rules, whereas Chinese is a tapestry. It's not as linear but very holistic, and goes from left, right, top, down, back, forth, past, present,' says the Public Service Commission scholar who went on to study at the London School of Economics.
hahaha....as Director, he may not even be in the top 20 in Kep Corp's organisation.Director looking after group strategy hor, don't play play.
hahaha...as usual making unwarranted personal attacks....
obviously, u don't know what u are talking about.....
has kep corp done poorly after LCO took over????
kep corp is a listed company and well researched by many fund mangers worldwide and consistently been given "outperform" rating
do you know the performance of the company before making baseless attacks on the capabilities of the CEO???
U are 1 person with a really thick hide.
After all these years he has not realised that he was second last not because the others had played him out but simply because he was academically lousier than his peers. Most probably, the other RI boys also had not studied but they were still able to do well because they were way better than him. He was probably the top student in Maristella and thinks that he is the best. But his achievement is probably through sheer hardwork - not intelligence or giftedness. Not recognising our own weakness and quick to put the blame on others tells a man's character.Classic. Something that happened when he was a teenager, now still talking about it.
Can those guys who told him they were not going to study for the test, please confirm this.
