...another slime job?

Bryan Ti ‎Victor Foo,

then I will quote for you what TKL also said to ST: 'When I ran NTUC, I ran it quite differently from what my board wanted."

He is blatantly saying that he wanted to be the one who made his decisions and drove the direction of Income, to the point of disregarding the Income Board!

As for collective decision-making, let's not bluff ourselves - TKL ran Income like an autocracy. Those who disagreed with him or his ideas were sidelined or 'eased out'. There was never much collective decision-making in Income when he was CEO.

But like I said, it says a lot about a man's leadership qualities when things go haywire and he starts to attribute the ideas to his subordinates.

Most good leaders will bear the responsibility for all decisions and actions that take place within the organisations under their charges.

The buck stops with them.

TKLs distributes it when things go wrong, but claims full credit when the news is good

PRESIDENTIAL hopeful and former NTUC Income chief Tan Kin Lian has revealed that he was asked to leave the insurance cooperative in 2006.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, he disclosed the reasons for his sudden departure from the company he helmed for nearly 30 years.

Read the full report in this week's edition of The Sunday Times.

the by-passing of insurance commission from intermediaries (agents) was true. tkl tried to do that so that NTUC would earn every single cents at the expense of self-employed agents. many agents mass quit and felt betrayed.

so it was true!!

I was going to write about Tan Kin Lian and his own MINIBOND-SAGA in the form of a timeshare-scheme called 'Club Nuansa'. It resulted in the loss of $16k for each of his investors.
But it seems like Kim Hoh Wong and his ST colleague have beaten me to it. I am happy to be beaten

Bryan Ti ‎Victor Foo, my primary information source is not the internet.

For TKL's background and what he did, my sources are direct ones - I have a close relative and some acquaintances who are working/worked in Income. Other Income employees have also recently contacted me, including managers.

They narrated to me in great details about the unhealthy management system in Income under TKL, his various personal quirks, autocratic ways and personal-hobby-turned-busi​ness-ventures under Income's funds and resources.

I heard quite a few stories on how he crossed swords with the Board and how employees who disagreed with him were removed while those who "sucked up" to him were rapidly promoted.

I was told about his other unhealthy personal habits when 'dealing' with female coleagues, but am resisting from talking about these.

Bryan Ti ‎Victor Foo,

I was contacted by some of those Club Nuansa investors directly. Eventually TKL did not do much to help the investors.

In fact, when he met some of the investors with Lai Meng, the manager that TKL alluded to in the ST article,... TKL displayed a attitude of arrogance and indifference to the investors who came to seek his assistance.

That's because TKL knew that the investors were helpless as the time-share company was registered in the Virgin Islands, of all places!

Does it not sound fishy?

TKL was far from being a saint.

BRYAN T writes like scroobal but let's hope he is NOT screwball.
