Ong Ye Kung Joins Keppel Corp

[wikiphile]

Fuck him. Keppel is well known to be the sinecure of MIW and their posterity. zero value aded

 

[mojito]

A repeat of ex-cabinet minister and NTUC Lim Chee Onn's saga who also was found wanting. Had to quit suddenly from all political position and given no.2 role in Keppel under Sim Kee Boon. This is the type of parachute that is offered to scholars who quit to join the politics. This then breeds mediocrity as there will be no desire to push the boundaries and let the best one rise.

Take a look at his interview (published here courtesy of JW5) and within the short period where he is now. Its a disgrace.

Keppel is also into property development. Looks like there will it be boundless synergy between and husband and wife.

I do not see Sim Ann, Heng Swee Kiat, and others who quit the service get such lavish treatment.

I fail to see how this cretin is worth his price in gold. Ah... but he is a familee friend, progeny of Old Autocrat's close confidant.

Mr Ong added that he will start work next week as a director looking after group strategy.

Go in as management trainee or on student attachment????

Director looking after group strategy hor, don't play play.

The huge difference is that they won their elections.

George Yeo must be wondering why he was not invited to take up a cushy spot in the GLCs.

Does it make any difference whether he's in keppel ? NO. Does he add value ? NO. It's more like padding the payroll to take care of the livelihood of a failed pap candidate.
More like an assurance to potential pap candidates that u will be taken care of for life the moment u join pap,even when u lost in the GE.

LCO had to go. Not because he couldn't get along with union leaders. Not because he was found wanting. He was investgated by the CPIB and the higher-ups decided he had to step down. But to save their own faces, they gave the excuse that he could not get along with union leaders. Surely they would have been able to size him up whether he is able to make it with the union leaders before appointing him as head. My info is 100%accurate on why LCO had to step down.

But ulike NBG and xyz, LCO did not have to face the music and drama.

Would have been the mother of all embarassment for the MIW, especially LKY. LCO was earlier touted as PM calibre. Lucky chap. It pays to be on the right side. Very dishonest of the MIW to offer another reason for LCO's fall. But he did alright after his departure. May even be a happier man.

E-applications for Trivelis start tomorrow and end on Oct 31. This project is one of a few for which tenders were given out before the government announced earlier this year that it will put DBSS projects on hold. The government said it wanted to review the scheme following an outcry from Singaporeans after developer Sim Lian’s DBSS project, Centrale 8 (in Tampines), made the news for its high asking prices. Sim Lian Group had initially estimated prices of $880,000 for a five-room unit, but later revised it to $778,000.

In most other respectable democratic countries, few career civil servants will take the plunge into politics. There is no guarantee of success and there is no backup plan in the event of failure. Only SG has spun this into a story of these people being exceptional talents. The only regrettable thing is that so many SGreans have been believing this line all these years and probably into the future as well.

Ah gugu ah gugu..

That Gugu lost his sanity ever since he found out Tracy866 (his gugu) is in fact a man.

Does the Prostitute Times get paid to glamorise a failed PAP candidate...or are they preparing him for his next job? ie first they paint him to be so brilliant yet "got away"... he would surely be elected by daft Sinkies at the next opportunity?

At Maris Stella High, he stuck mostly with Chinese-speaking friends. Values such as 'community, friendship, honouring one's word' were all-important.

He had a rude shock enrolling at Raffles Junior College. 'In a Chinese school, if we say 'This coming test is stupid, we're not going to study', we don't,' he recounts. 'At RJC, some Raffles Institution boys said no need to study for the first test of the year. I didn't, but they did. I came in second last.'

But today, he is thankful to have learnt Chinese, rather than English, as his first language, saying it has wired his brain differently. 'English is very analytical, linear; it's phonics with rules, whereas Chinese is a tapestry. It's not as linear but very holistic, and goes from left, right, top, down, back, forth, past, present,' says the Public Service Commission scholar who went on to study at the London School of Economics.

Classic. Something that happened when he was a teenager, now still talking about it.
Can those guys who told him they were not going to study for the test, please confirm this.

hahaha....as Director, he may not even be in the top 20 in Kep Corp's organisation.

 

[kingrant]

Hahaha..now here making all kinds of kuku comments..

hey, how about Singapore's de facto independence? Thought you are supposed to stop posting? Useless troll!

hahaha...as usual making unwarranted personal attacks....
obviously, u don't know what u are talking about.....
has kep corp done poorly after LCO took over????
kep corp is a listed company and well researched by many fund mangers worldwide and consistently been given "outperform" rating
do you know the performance of the company before making baseless attacks on the capabilities of the CEO???
U are 1 person with a really thick hide.

 

[batman1]

All these ex-PAP unsuccessful candidates are really parasites.makan so much taxpayers'money.Why can't he open a drinks stall and be the CEO of the drinks stall ?

After all these years he has not realised that he was second last not because the others had played him out but simply because he was academically lousier than his peers. Most probably, the other RI boys also had not studied but they were still able to do well because they were way better than him. He was probably the top student in Maristella and thinks that he is the best. But his achievement is probably through sheer hardwork - not intelligence or giftedness. Not recognising our own weakness and quick to put the blame on others tells a man's character.
