Ngiam Siew Ying - The superscale NPTD Director who wrote the 6.9 million White Paper

If you look at the 6.9 million population White Paper, it is not signed off by anybody.

The person who actually did the paper writing was one Ngiam Siew Ying, Director of the Policy and Planning Directorate at the National Population and Talent Division. She is a high flyer who made superscale in barely her 30s. As her name suggest, she is related to Ngiam Tong Dow.

I always find it useful to have images of people as it helps me relate to what they are saying. Unfortunately Ms Ngiam is a bit shy and I was unable to find any images of her. There is however this video of her from an interview she did with CNA. Check out 1:07. Note that this was before the White Paper was picked apart so there is this smug ,"I am smarter than you" look on her chubby face. Would love to she how she is looking now ...

Any worldclass credible professor will give her paper a D if not F grade. Even with grade inflation, it is C.

I think she is a bit mental.

Anybody who wants to replace the population by 50% with imports or more must be mad.

Don't blame the director. NPTD is after all under whose's office? Who pays for the paycheck? And you think one person at Director level writes such a paper?

The paper was written personally by Director Ngiam Siew Ying. It was supposed to be her plum project to get her promoted to DS.

Supervising Ms Ngiam was DS Amy Hing Nguk Juon.

The paper was cleared for submission by PS Niam Chiang Meng.

Given the way things turned out, Director Ngiam's chances for promotion to DS appear to be quite slim.

At 1:06 Ngiam Siew Ying said: "We are engaging the public extensively this year (i.e. 2012) to hear their views..."

BULLSHIT

DS--Deputy Secretary?

How can one person write a paper of such importance?

It was a rather short paper ... only 78 pages. Take away the big graphs and pictures and you have less than 50 pages worth of write up.

As noted by others, there were no references and the academic quality of the work was shoddy.

It definitely would fail an undergraduate essay and be called up for plagiarism matters.

PS, DS and even Ds don't actually put up papers unless they are SMEs or DEs. They are generalists and they identify experts and their planning depts put up such papers. Alpha staff of all grades even junior ones can put up papers if they are good. Sometimes consultants are brought in to do the papers. For papers that go out to the public or external parties, they typically engage comms and PR firms to do the final copy including layouts, graphics and content positioning. Sometimes they engage university dons to put up the draft framework and much of the flesh.

But it on the head of the seniors to shape approach and pass the final product.

Too late debating this sort of things now.... Should try to think practical like Mr. Lee.
So, let’s move on and show them our dislike at next GE.

You can't go around giving the DPM, the Minster and everyone else the idea that you are the principal author. When things go badly, you then do a quick about turn and say it was actually your junior staff that actually did the writing.
