I thought that this is worth a new thread and not mired in some deep non-relevant thread.
I am aware that Ramseth, Jixiaolan and you (perspective) are in Insurance/ HDB Property Sales. I also aware that you have been together for a long time and meet often. You are now feel the sense or pressured to prove your friendship. By now you the vocations was never associated with honour, credibility and even smarts. It more into TCSS, cajoling, taking suckers for a ride. 90% of mankind can do the work but don't because only thing worse is a 2nd hand car dealer. Money is not everything. Does it not surprise you why Ramseth behave in that manner. All 3 of you are essentially undereducated and it shows. Calling me dishonest is a whole different ball game. In all my years, I had 2 boo boos. One is the death of Kwa. The family had been advised that there little hope and the recommendation was take her off the machine. Arrangements were then made for various things including honour guard. Notification were sent around and the time was given. Shortly after the time lapsed , the news came out to set things in motion. And the message was wrong. She could breathe on her own. I recalled that I was at Starbucks at Suntec when the news came thru and I relayed it to SBF. Is that dishonest.
The second boo boo is something you did not mention. Its the letter that the young prince wrote to his superiors about the Lt who went awol. When it first surfaced on the web, there was instant denials from very reliable quarters. It carried on for 3 days. I wrote in SBF that it was false and the no such thing happened. As everyone knows that he did it. I checked and realised that the family wanted it confined and were denying in to officials that they had to deal with. I suspect that they did not want old man to know.
Now lets talk about Khaw. Khaw had made it abundantly clear that he was going to do what Howe did - one term. This was made clear many times. He was not on the slate. Interestingly, it was GMS with Minister specific campaign who indirectly brought him back into the game. He did not want to budge but Mah was already on the ropes. Old man was upset, Khaw was summoned and to convince him, his retired ex-boss was also called to persuade him. Khaw is a strict Buddhist and money and status means nothing. He did it because his has a lot of respect for his ex-boss. Nothing is ever cast in stone especially in Politics. I recall both GMS and Locke queried me in this. I can't remember swearing on a bible that he gave a written undertaking that he will not run. No political party will show their hand and this is no different. Until the last minute I thought he was bullshitting about running and I also knew who his back-up. I was not aware of the meeting until much later. I have avoided explaining myself to deter any attrempt at triangulation. DO you see GMS or Locke calling me a liar or being dishonest.
Now lets deal with Ms Foo. SCB is effectively owned by Temasek and Ms Ho recommended this lady. Nobody was prepared to do a full due diligence. The hardest thing to prove is illicit affairs. Educated people do not have illicit sex in front of people, at bus-stops, or in front of an audience. If you have worked in a large organisation, the first telling signs are joint trips, conduct and mannerisms that give the game away. After for a while their guard drops and they acknowledge their conduct to those who have caught on. I am aware that your buddy Jixiaolan can't sleep nights because of it. Lets take the case of your wife and LTK. Nobody paid any attention to that set of allegations even though it would have excellent fodder for those who like to see WP slide. Why? A reasonably educated person can tell what is likely and what is not. When GKS instead of working with his system engineers in MOE was having his way with the chief MOE coordinator for the programme who was later to become his wife. The whole world knew except old man. I am sure GKS or his eventual wife did not issue a statement that they were having an affair or spell it out on radio. So how did people know.? When you cast aspersions on someone, you look at their track record. I have been here for more than 12 years and I am dishonest for the reasons that you stated.
Look at GD. He has been here for a year. He has been highly informative. He made one error about the Sentosa downing case. Does that make him dishonest. Don't we all appreciate news that are usually prohibited being circulated. Or do you want to pay for a private eye to confirm everything.
You know very well that Ramseth has been providing rubbish for years and you said nothing. Only recently he wrote a complete diatribe about Tang Liang Hong exposing the HPL matter. You know very well that it was not Tang but GCT first revealed in the press. So how does that dishonesty work for you . Friends get exemption? Now you know why there is little or no respect for Insurance agents and property agents. Ever heard a parents pray that their child grows up to be an insurance or property agent.
You have good grasp of political history and possess political acumen. But integrity, value systems etc are whole different ball game. I never once did see you stop Ramseth from bullying Krafty. Why is that? So why you think that you are in a position to represent Singaporeans in Parliament? Remember the mentally ill Indian girl in the old SBF? Remember how I had to intervene and how I made arrangement with a female ACP to handle her case.
You buggers due to the nature of your work are so used to exploiting people that you assume that everything is fair game. Not all the time. I have seen Secret Society Headman and Clan leader who have had more sense of fairness than you guys.
