Ex-Army General Lim Chuan Poh Gets Early Retirement From Singtel

[SNAblog]

I thought our retirement age is 62? Did this ex-SAF LT-General really get the sack? Or is it a move to pave the way for him to join the PAP team in the coming election?

Singtel's CEO for international ops to retire

(Reuters) - Singapore Telecommunications's CEO for international operations Lim Chuan Poh, one of the firm's top executives, will retire at the end of this year, the company said on Thursday.

Lim, 55, joined SingTel in 1998 and was appointed CEO International in 2006. He is in charge of SingTel's overseas investments, which includes a 32 percent stake in India's largest mobile phone operator Bharti(BRTI.BO) and 35 percent in Indonesia's Telkomsel.

SingTel did not give a reason for Lim's early retirement.

Other firms that SingTel holds large stakes in include Philippines' Globe Telecom, Thailand's Advanced Info Services, Pacific Bangladesh Telecom and Warid Telecom in Pakistan.

SingTel said it has initiated a search for Lim's replacement, both within the firm and externally.

Lim is one of three CEOs reporting to SingTel Group CEO Chua Sock Koong. The other CEOs are Allen Lew, who is in charge of Singapore, and Paul O'Sullivan, who takes care of SingTel Optus, Australia's second largest telecom firm.

Hello, he where got so old arh? He's only 49 years old, old RI boy lah. He got early retirement because orders passed down from the very top. He's future Cabinet Ministar material. GE cumming!

Very likely he will be part of a GRC that will get a walkover. No need to contest, hence he can 'retire' than be part of the PAP team.

Another riding the coattail into parliament.

This back door route should be banned if there is any democratic left in the Pledge.
