New NEA Chairman used to scold SGs for ‘poor upbringing’

[Confuseous]

The National Environment Agency (NEA) announced yesterday (19 Mar) that Liak Teng Lit, currently the Group CEO of Alexandra Health System, will take over as the new Chairman of its Board of Directors from 1 April 2015.

In a media interview last May, as Deputy Chairman of NEA, Mr Liak scolded Singaporeans for their “poor upbringing” in response to some patrons who did not want to return trays at hawker centres (‘NEA Dty Chairman scolds S’poreans for poor upbringing‘).

Mr Liak then said, “If you all eat properly and not eat until a mess, how will you dirty your hands (for returning trays)? It’s a problem of upbringing. Everyone should depend on oneself (to return trays). Don’t depend on others. Everyone should really reflect on this.”
In another media interview in 2013 [Link], he said that Singaporeans’ reliance on cleaners extends to many families with domestic help and those who eat out.

“In hawker centres we eat like pigs, with food and tissue all over the tables. It’s a disgrace. We don’t eat like that at home,” he said.
Mr Liak frowns on healthcare subsidy.

As Group CEO of Alexandra Health System, he is said to have frowned upon subsidising healthcare. He also appears to have a low opinion of the British National Health Service. In an interview with the Straits Times on 20 July 2012 (‘Why the dung beetle is his hero ‘), it was reported:

Capable people never have to face long-term unemployment or underemployment.

In the last 50 years, these people will guaranteed a life long job, but this next 50 years...we shall make sure that, they work for every cent they are paid..sweat by the brows!

The more you say the more I lagi dont return tray

 

[ginfreely]

He is not right. Singaporeans don't eat like pigs. Only him, his family and his relatives eat like pigs.

Your wish indeed can and will be realised soon enough.

Remember NEA is the agency that went around to fine old uncles walking along the beach in their bikini bottoms. At $200 a pop, plus delayed payments, interests on delay payments, NEA admin fees for bringing these free souls to Court, etc, if these uncles cannot pay up the exorbitant sums demanded after being charged, convicted and fined, indeed they will land up in jail.

So if you don't kuai kuai return your trays and/or clean up after eating, see what this liak will come up with some creative regulations to fine and jail you. You just wait hor, uncle.:kma::kma:
