Chitchat Outgoing CEO: Many MAS employees were doing nothing, some sleeping

[halsey02]

The next Mat CEO will reinstate 6000 sacked employees and add 6000 more. This angmo has made a mistake. He is decreasing productivity when many m&ds are deprived of sleep. More folks, then productivity go up! This is Mat logic and culture, inborn and ingrained. Superior genes.

it takes 12 mats to change a light bulb... 1 to do the work, the other 11, as back up...must need back up mah!....you step into any Sing Post these days, since they have got rid of many Filipino they used to employ & not fill the staff with Sinktothecore's...observe....they way they work, you will know why they need 12 of them to change a light bulb?

The same culture is now creeping into Singapore. Look at People's Association, GLCs and even positions given to retired Army and Police Officers in schools etc. When a politician or senior civil servant fails, he is placed in NTUC or a GLC. Look at Lim Chee Onn and Ong Ke Yung ...

I think the PAP gov't has the same problem, too many of the civil servants have "family" connections. Making major changes will be very hard because of too many have vested interests in maintaining the status quo.

Spot on, Johnny. Just take the example of the People's Association, which employed a percentage of the adult population with the sole job of keeping pap in control. A closer examination will find the same "doing nothing" and down stream supplier - supporter problem. But alas, that's the way 69.% wants it.

thats the problem,i would never invest in a company run by a mat CEO cause he would be under pressure to give in to the wishes of the malay culture and community,he would be forced by peer pressure and social pressures to be kawan kawan with his fellow bangs.malays they treasure community ties and kinship more than anything.pretty soon he will be giving concessions to mat suppliers and contractors and hiring dozens of abangs to stand around and do nothing and chit chat all day and take smoke breaks ...

u rook @ moose limb restaurants in msia ... dey r all run by mamaks ... soiled princes may open 1, but wun last loong ... dey can oni thrive as gerai-gerai ... soiled princes demselves oso say tis ...

It takes 12 also to change a light bulb in HDB common area. 2 grassloot leaders to be present, 2 town council maintenance staff to supervise, 2 accountant from KPMG to check the cost of the light bulb, 2 staff from SPH to report and to take picture, 1 MP for photo op, one Bangla to hold the ladder, one bangla to change the lightbulb, and one contractor boss to supervise the 2 Banglas.

Yes, this Malaysian culture is slowly creeping into Singapore at all levels. Nothing wrong with sleeping. Everyone sleeps when they are tired. Sleeping on the job could mean they are tired. Nothing to do with lazy. No blame culture here please.

The one that came for the photo op, is the highest paid & does no work...& yet say the constituents appreciate them...

You work very hard & you need to take a snooze in the office, that's understandable....but in Matland....the work is very 'relax' one & everybody is sleeping on the job.
