Li shengwu's mother to join AXA as directors

[RonRon]

Is such a waste that she did not join the PAP, anyway cannot blame her for wanting to get a higher pay then getting the pathetic 2 million dollars as a Minister..
PAP should increase the salary of our minister to attract such talent to serve the country

WELL-KNOWN corporate lawyer Lee Suet Fern will be joining the board of insurance giant AXA, one of a handful of Singaporeans to have made it to a global boardroom.

She has been proposed as one of 11 independent non-executive directors on the 15-strong board.

Mrs Lee is the senior director of Stamford Law Corporation (Singapore). She chairs the Asian Civilisations Museum Board and is also a member of the Advisory Board to the Law School at the Singapore Management University.

Another corporate personality to have made it to the board of a Fortune 500 company is Ms Euleen Goh, the former CEO of Standard Chartered Bank in Singapore.

Ms Goh is an independent non-executive director of another insurer Aviva.

Amazing!

Was she still on the IBA Council when they issued their report on Singapore's Human Rights situation? If so, amazing discord within the first family!

See 01/07/2008
IBAHRI expresses concern about human rights and the independence of the judiciary in Singapore
In a report released today, the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) expressed concern about limitations on the freedoms of expression, assembly, and the press, and of the independence of the judiciary in Singapore. The report, Prosperity versus individual rights? Human rights, democracy and the rule of law in Singapore, makes 18 recommendations (pages 67-68), which the IBAHRI urges the Singapore Government to implement as a matter of priority.

‘As one of the world’s most successful economies, Singapore should be a leader in human rights and the rule of law, and should now have the confidence and maturity to recognise that this would be complementary, not contradictory, to its future prosperity,’ said Mark Ellis, Executive Director of the International Bar Association (IBA). ‘The IBAHRI has identified a number of areas in which Singapore falls far short of international standards. In particular, democratic debate and media comment are extremely restricted and government officials have initiated numerous successful defamation suits against both political and media critics.’


The IBAHRI report examines Singapore’s record on a range of human rights issues identified by the IBAHRI as a priority. This includes freedom of expression (for example, the use of defamation legislation to hinder opposition activities, and restrictions on freedom of the press and the internet), the independence of the judiciary (there have been allegations of executive influence), and freedom of assembly.

Investigations for the report began in the lead-up to the IBA’s 2007 Annual Conference in Singapore. Strong debate between the government and its critics took place during the IBA’s inaugural Rule of Law Day; an open public forum on human rights which was the first such discussion at an international conference in Singapore.

Emilio Cárdenas, Co-Chair of the IBAHRI, stated: ‘The IBAHRI has conducted a very extensive review in preparing this report, and has sought the views of all the major stakeholders concerned, including the Singapore Government and the Singapore Law Society. The report is unprecedented in its efforts to understand, respond to, and reflect the views of all sides to the debate.’

The idea is get access to GIC and Temasek (albeit singapore funds) for their funds especially when in a crisis. This women has never made a landmark case in legal circles so why would AXA want her on the board. There thousand of highly capable people and experienced people around the world, so why pick her.

Join PAP? She is Sister-In-Law of PM. (wife of Lee Hsien Yang) never put all your eggs in One basket.

Don't just look at her credentials. Look a bit further and behind her back.

Those names behind her is probably stronger than her credential.

Does HC rings a similar bell ?

[heartlander]

just one thing I'm interested in: that the headline of an article I read regarding this story was: "Suet Fern joins AXA board". http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_493297.html

Why use her given name instead of her full name Lee Suet Fern? I don't see this name format used anywhere else except in ST headlines that refer to PAP ministers or MPs, presumably to make them seem more personal. e.g. "Boon Heng", "Hng Kiang", "Vivian". Does the similar use of "Suet Fern" suggest something, or am I reading too much into it?
