[SneeringTree]

Anyone has any insiders' information? Did Lim Neo Chian leave on his own accord or was he ousted? It's funny the report did not say where he is going. A clear sign that he did not leave willingly??

A NEW chief has been appointed for the Singapore Tourism Board.

Chief executive officer and deputy chairman Lim Neo Chian will step down at the end of the year after six years at the helm.

He was credited for his leadership which took Singapore through the severe acute respiratory syndrome crisis in 2003 which saw tourism numbers plunge and hotel rooms stayed empty.

Mr Lim Hng Kiang, Minister for Trade & Industry said: 'In Neo Chian's six years with the STB, he has provided the leadership and drive behind the STB's bold initiatives to transform Singapore's tourism landscape.

'Under his stewardship, we have enjoyed four successive years of record growth in visitor arrivals and tourism receipts. MTI wishes to thank Neo Chian for his outstanding contributions to the STB and wish him all the best in his future endeavours, and we welcome Kah Peng onboard as chief executive.'

His successor, Ms Aw Kah Peng, 41 hails from the Economic Development Board.

She has had more than 17 years of experience at EDB joining it in 1990 as an industry officer for chemicals in the industry development division.

She currently oversees a diverse group of industries including energy, chemicals, engineering services, biomedical sciences, logistics, education, professional services, consumer care and health and wellness business growth.

A Ministry of Trade and Industry press statement said that 'Ms Aw's experience in the attraction and development of critical large investor projects, coupled with her extended industry links with the lifestyle and services clusters make for an excellent match with the STB's blueprint for future growth'.

I thot Lim Neo Chian has cancer......... going into terminal stage?

Wow is it? I didn't know that...If it's true, surely they would indicate in the newspaper report? I saw him a couple of months back, he seemed fine then.

Try using your CT-scan eye....

Unfortunately, don't have CT scan eyes.

Did Lim Neo Chian left on his own accord or was he ousted?

Maybe he accepted bribes or he criticised the PAP

 

[madmansg]

notice that many SAF regulars get striken down with cancer ? NS is killing SAF generals.

 

[BlueCat]

maybe he has better offer from the private sector ?

Maybe he's moving to a ministry job?

Do you know who is the deputy CEO of STB and why wasn't he promoted to be the CEO?

Too much good life n pay for doing little............ conscience pricks them n their organs fail
In any case Lim NC did not do a good job in Suzhou, STech n STB..... albeit better as he paved the way for Casino Resorts

 

[Confuseous]

It WAS reported in the Shitty Times in the past, about his cancer. That time, they reported that he was taking extended leave to try and recover. I guess it is the end now.

 

[Fook Seng]

Maybe he is taking over SMRT.

 

[Semaj2357]

Maybe he is taking over SMRT.

Better not, stage 4 is almost terminal - no need to take others along..

 

[kingrant]

I believe it was reported sometime ago already that he is ill, yes as Confuseous said, cancer.

Anyone has any insiders' information? Did Lim Neo Chian leave on his own accord or was he ousted? It's funny the report did not say where he is going. A clear sign that he did not leave willingly??

 

[saratogas]

This tell me that $$$ & wealth can't buy good health...

All I want for Christmas is a strong healthy body!

 

[Narong Wongwan]

STB very sway....before that the replacement guy Ken Low also died of unknown illness.....at young age somemore

I don't think it has anything to do with conscience

More likely inactivity, too much rich food,.... not enough time in the golf course

Just a personal view. I think this guy though bad may still be a better human than the others. Cancer is mainly the result of stress (if we exclude genetic). If a person can feel stressed, I presumed that he probably knows that he is not up to the mark or is not delivering i.e. still has a little conscience. People like Saw will never develop cancer because she honestly believe that she is doing a great job and all mistakes are no faults of hers. There are many such creatures up there.
