Just my guess. Find it hard to digest that someone eating from an iron ricebowl would want to leave.

Jek was no high flier. He was a Col in his late 30s. Was Dir MSD previously. Should be 50 this year. No idea where he is now.

Ronnie Tay I first met him when he was only a major....the only major hanging out amongs the colonels and BGs playing golf. I knew then he was earmarked to go far.

 

[steffychun]

CEO of SMRT

Nah! Don"t think so.

 

[kukubird58]

Nope. Too old.

hahaha..., bro, too old is not the "root" reason.....more likely CEP is not ministar....
