Definition of leadership - GET YOUR COMMUNICATIONS LADY TO SIGN A LETTER DRAFTED/APPROVED BY THE BOARD AND HANG HER OUT TO DRY AND TAKE ALL THE SHIT FROM THE PIGEONS.
Where are all the big hitters out there - does ANY minister or ANY MP have a postion on his and stick his neck out? It is amazing that suddenly, all our MPs don't seem to have a position on ANY subject.
Hello Mr Choh Boh Lim - you say got not groupthink in PAP? As Special Adviser to the PA Board, can you double confirm that you agree with the contents of the letter? Or will you shed tears again when you step down as chairman?
=======================
WE REFER to Mr Muhammad Yusuf Osman's letter yesterday ('Advisers to grassroots bodies should be elected MPs').
The mission of the People's Association (PA) and its grassroots organisations (GROs) is to bond the community and connect people with the Government. PA and its GROs serve all residents regardless of their political affiliations in fulfilling their role.
Grassroots advisers are appointed by PA, a statutory board. Besides connecting people to people, grassroots advisers are required to help the Government connect with people and help promote government policies and programmes such as anti-dengue and active ageing.
Hence, the Government has to appoint grassroots advisers who support its programmes and can play this role well. Opposition MPs cannot be expected to do this and thus cannot become advisers to GROs.
