Should be the director with most expertise in customer service. SMRT customer experience sucks big time ...so, should that be pinned on him?

 

[winnipegjets]

11 directors in the SMRT ...such a big board. This board should be fired and replaced with foreign expertise.

 

[laksaboy]

So this principal is providing the grassroot perspective to the board? What has she accomplished?

A token Malay-Muslim face to show that SMRT embraces diversity, religious/racial harmony. And because she is a woman, SMRT is an equal opportunity employer that believes in empowering women in the boardroom.

Whether she is competent in her job is inconsequential.
