I think some of you might have seen this promotion clip on TV about the employment of senior PMETs. Though the intent was all for the benefits of PMETs and how valuable seniors can be in an organization, I think the story line has some very serious and undesirable messages that the producer has missed or overlooked. If I am not mistaken, it was produced by Tafep.
The clip was about how a young Indian PME sneaked into a senior Chinese PME's computer in the night, read and stole his idea and made a presentation to the management. The staff was highly praised by the Chinese CEO for his great presentation and the CEO made the right decision to hire him. Though the young PME confessed that the idea was stolen from the senior PME and acknowledged the latter’s effort, what was the message or moral of the story?
It is ok to steal another person’s idea? It is ok to sneak or break into another person’s computer? It is ok to make a presentation using other people’s idea without his knowledge and permission? And this is clever, worthy of being praised!
And the CEO came out looking like a fool. And the staff whose idea was stolen did not mind and sheepishly accepted the after thought, that someone was honourable enough to admit that it was his idea after all.
There is another more dangerous message in the whole clip that would incur the wrath of some people when looked from the racial angle.
I am wondering how such a story could pass muster and be allowed to be aired. I am equally surprised that the racists did not cry father and cry mother. I saw the clip twice at prime time TV and I am sure many people must have seen it too. Maybe the racists have not. I am not sure if it is still being aired or withdrawn.

May be the clip is to show the India ft is a talent
The sotong advertiser (silly assumptions) : (1) No user/ password to access (shared) computer (2) No personal/ sensitive data stored in (public) computer ...
What should have been : (1) Authorised staff can access (project) shared folder (remotely) from own computer (2) Desktop is locked when unattended ... Hands-On Green Matters
RB, I think you misunderstood the video. I see it as the boss did not recognise the mid age Chinese man's work, even cutting him off. The young Indian guy who "stole" the idea presented it to the boss, but did not take credit for himself and credited it to the mid age Chinese guy. Note that after that, the boss suddenly was super pleased with the mid age Chinese guy.
The moral of the story? Don't overlook older workers.
Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GvhUsnmTO0
Look like we need more of such stupidity in Singapore : Middle-age Chinese non-talent must be super lucky to have (n not sabotaged by) younger Indian talent (illegal) help . Hands-On Green Matters

Tiok. The PAPigs just will not listen.
But still can make comments lah, but just for the fun and to release stress under the rule of PAPigs, so oxygen not totally wasted.
Which is why I, like others, are still making comments.
Uncle RB, depends on how u look at it. It seems that the mid-age Chinese can't PLP ( or carry balls) that why u need someone younger or other race to present it to the boss more eloquently..some people stereotype that technical/artistic or hand-on person don't know how to present their stuffs effectively to their boss or even customers.
this kind very very common in singapore lah.....
you dont know meh......
nowadays singapore is like that......
so what if one made mistakes....
why....jail....no lah.....the most quit......dont work the most.....
dont worry, made mistakes oso can have breakfast with the boss n his wife......
dont worry, this is the new normal.......
cheers...........
I know of several Indian ft marrying the local Chinese women. So if local women like u also bo Bian what
Hermit s comments was the interpretation i think fair. The Indian was trying to help the company.
The Boss is dumb and bias. Dumb means he was boxed in his office and did not know what went on outside his box ie office. Bias is obvious: impolite to a human being greeting him good morning.
I felt this old guy who wished : Good morning BOSS, was asking for the boss to ignore him. He sounded so low without confidence. In office, good CEO should not encourage employee to call him BOSS. I have never used the word BOSS for CEO. It made me feel low and I do not think my intelligence is lower. Why? I already took lower than CEO s salary. I owed nothing to the company.
Am I correct? The Boss in video looked so lost as a CEO. He needed a young guy to remind him who was supporting his company.
This video does has it value. I have seen CEO so lost. He eventually was fired with contract no renewed. His mistake was to rely on young men and women. He spent more salary to hire young women to be in senior positions. He really did that. The results: no new products on market. Cost went up. So simple. Many companies have this kind of lost CEO. But I do not mean they must hire old guys.
To me, i prefer old guys when picking. Why? I dont have to tell him what next. He only comes to ask with ideas to confirm. Young woman is "something" i fear as she might "cho cho" the CEO to do something "drastic".
Very rare there is such nice indian guy who help and old guy to present idea and pass the credit back to the originator. This old guy might strike toto. Sounded stupid for asking the indian to act. I would agree another old guy or old woman might do similar. Because, these mature people do not need the credits so much. Agree?
Its the scholars policy to bring in cheaper foreigner pmet that threaten the jobs of current existing mature employees, not the lost CEO who ignore mature employees. Why?
When the rental goes up, the CEO will have pressure to show results. The first thought is to fire the old guys to hire cheaper foreigner pmet. The profits will show instantly like instant noodle. Most CEO goes for this simple equation.
Until the NS mature guys, like the video old guy, learn his real value and vote for another team, this kind of video scenario of CEO ignoring old employees will continue.
Remember the CEO hate the old employees for nothing, nothing, except his salary, that come with CPF. CEO will be happy if the employees do not want salary like Trump and work for the company. Otherwise, Singapore CEO are similar to that in the video, he wants foreigner, cheaper salary, no cpf, no ns reservist. Solution is voting for the right team.
Notwithstanding many cheaper and younger foreign talents available for hire, I think there are still about 70% of old Sinkie PMETs with high salary and still got their jobs.
Luckily for PAP, those old Sinkie PMETs who lost their jobs or become taxi/Uber drivers or security guards comprises only a minority of about 30%.
That's why Singapore is so politically stable, and also because the opposition cannot attract enough Sinkie talents (those who still got jobs and got money) to join them. As a result, the opposition is weak and not ready to replace PAP as govt.
PAP through IRAS and maybe even the banks, knows how many Sinkies are OK with jobs and money lah.
Of course like in any society, there are also have nots lah. Most important for the ruling party is that these have nots are not in the majority, so that the ruling party can continue to win elections.
And Singapore is in this happy situation for PAP.
Hi rex, the post deleted.
And Hermit, the intent of the clip was meant to be good. But the script let to different interpretations and for those looking from the racial angle, it looked very bad. The suggestion to use actors of the same race would remove the racial element.
The other point is getting into a colleague's computer without permission is not permissible. It is misconduct and breach of confidentially, violation or trespassing.

What about extending the age of your CPF withdrawal without a referendum?
What about imposing a racial quota on the Presidency without a referendum?

It's not about the what, how or why of the matter but rather who causes or says it.

Not misconduct and breach of confidentially, violation or trespassing when you have the mandate from an election to do it. Or in simpler layman's language, got the licence to do it.
Just like must have licence to carry guns or else the penalty is death sentence in some countries.

The 70% votes was a funeral votes. There must be another funeral you are thinking about.
The loss of jobs are not so good for the oil, marine, shipping industries. Pap supporters are the majority in these industries. You heard of pinky meeting the unemployed recently?
When bread earners are jobless, we do not identify them by Pap or not Pap. We try to help them to find back jobs to feed the family. Whether Pap or not Pap has no consideration when the threat such as an invasion of external army into Singapore. Why bother an army invade Singapore? Because the external army will take away your money by forcing you to pay. The army may not shot at your head, for well trained army.
To some citizens, the external invaders are actually harmless as long as they cooperate.
I do not understand, when foreigners are given work and employment passes to snatch jobs away from citizen bread earners, there are Pap supporters supporting this kind of unfair policy. There are coming to a 1000000 foreigner pmets including PR in this island. It is a serious threat not just on jobs for future generations, but on security as well. The US voted for Trump is partly due to this reason. The UK voted Brexit was solely due to this reason.
If you really are Pap supporter, you must think for your party right? Or you are actually opposition supporter?
Even you are opposition supporter, you must think for the bread earner citizens' problem. Because, the family s children can be your children s friends.
The situation is worst than an invasion army. The curbed salary and joblessness are affecting retailers.
You cannot start a shop if you are retrenched. You know why? That is a real problem caused by Pap.
Taking people's money without their permission is theft.
Taking people's money by force is robbery.
Taking people's money by cunning means is cheating.

Many sinkies staying in pte properties such as condos are actually quite "broke"?
Sometimes a few hundred lollars also cannot afford ("have great difficulty" to) fork out? (very lao kui?)
Who knows how many (especially those staying in (low end) pte properties) already maxed out their credit cards, credit lines etc .......?
2 years ago, humcheepeng already (publicly) said that?
Many late 30s, 40+ & 50+ PMETs kena emasculated liao?
Lost the "menhood" liao?
Many sit at home watch tv almost 24 hrs a day and lost all (self-)esteem liao?
Every day sit in the living room sofa (& some kena cuckolded?) wait for wifey bring home the bacon?
Many living worst than zombies?
Many sinkies like to act loaded?
Inside "kosong" until negative dunno like what .......?
Some act act when guests go to their home park Lambo outside their houses?
But subsequently many times passed by never see any Lambo outside their houses?
Whether late at night, any part of the day, the Lambo not there?
Then got functions, invite guests again, the Lambo appear again (park outside)?
They really think all sinkies like the 70% "super kong cum"?
In sinkieland, to survive, need to be like ass holes and bastards?
If be nice (guys), easy to kena "makaned" at work place?
Old fart let in to many liao, leg opened too big le?

Ode To The Scoundrels
This is the time that has been fermenting
In the background over over 5 decades without abetting.
It is only when scoundrels replaced decent people
As valuable and capable leaders at the pinnacle
Of all key and important positions possible,
That these kinds of impropriety,
insensitivity, inexcusable insanity
creep to the surface easily,
automatically and audaciously.
Yeah?
This is the "REAL HARDTRUTHS"?
And not some old fart's?
Incidentally, on 29th Mar 2015, it took a 16-yo (amidst a 70% kong cum sinkies) to "spill" the "REAL HARDTRUTHS" abt an old fart?
All the while, it is not "IF" but "WHEN"?
Hi Scoundrel exposers, welcome to the blog. Your thought did occur in my mind.
