When you
read the names of the who’s who in the Sports Hub and those who have left,
resigned after Sawhney became the CEO, one would be wondering why all the top
management posts were held by foreigners and Jin Teck is probably the odd
Singaporean man out? Don’t we have any Singaporeans good enough to be CEOs, or
are we waiting to groom the next generation of CEOs in sports so that they
would be ready to become CEOs in 50 years time?
I think Jin
Teik’s weakest point is that he is a Singaporean, Singaporean is read as
stupid, no talent and not good enough. If Jin Teik is a foreigner, his chances
of being the next CEO would be much higher.
Would the
Sports Hub be asking a foreign recruitment agency to go around the world to
hunt for another foreign trash to be the CEO of the Sports Hub and Jin Teik,
being a daft no talent Singaporean, is only a seat warmer, waiting to be
replaced?
I know where
they should be looking for another talented foreigner to be the CEO of the
Sports Hub. Go to the little villages in the third world countries. They have
all the talents that Singapore needs to run sports hubs and sophisticated
modern businesses with skills honed from their little villages. Singaporeans
like Jin Teik are just not good enough to be CEOs though they lived in a modern
first world city. They just did not have the exposure needed to run modern
facilities compare to the villagers.
What do you
think?
I also know where they should be looking for another talented foreigner to be our Prime Minister's personal physician.
ReplyDeleteAnnon 8:32, he used to go China for traditional Chinese Physician treatments, guess now he will engage the services of Indian doctors.
ReplyDeleteAryuverdic treatment and martial art originated in lndia.
ReplyDeleteThey could have been practiced long before others became civilized.
ln fact, much civilizations were results of enlightenmemt from the lndian Subcontinent. Religion, Science, Culture and What not, lndia was at the forefront.
As for managing all endeavours, few in the modern world could match the lndians, especially when it comes to managing a remote village with little resources like water and with vast expanse of arid lands that are thousands of sq kilometres with many different ethnic population.
lndia is up and coming.
Many expect lndia to race ahead economically and in other areas and may eclipse China in the coming years.
ln any case, no one should compare any sinkies with the lndia lndians, for running an lndian village could be many times more challenging than running a tiny speck located at a most endowed location.
The tiny speck in currently poorly run by locals, it badly needs some good and clever lndian chief to keep it agloat, oops, afloat.
Sinkies are backward country bumkins. How to run the Sports Hub or even banks? Only remote villagers have the sophistication to do the job.
ReplyDeleteNow you know why Indians are so advanced and sophisticated in managing their country.

Do you think our Generals should inter-marry with villagers in India so as to improve their family's blood line & intelligence?
If not, then how to manage NOL (oops. too late), SMRT, SPH and etc. ?
India has been First in MANY THINGS, for example:
ReplyDelete1. First to use military troops to storm the Sacred Sikh Golden Temple.
2. First to invade East Pakistan and renamed it as Bangladesh.
3. First to invade Kashmir and occupied it, until Pakistan intervened.
4. First for its Prime Minister to be assassinated by her own body guards.
5. First to popularize gangraping defenceless young girls.
6. First to dishonourably and brutally murder their own daughters in order to protect their family's honour.
7. First to be slaves of the British Empire.
8. First to worship LKY as their God and Saviour.
9. First to churn out low-grade easily obtainable degrees.
10. First to produce cheap fake degrees sold through the Internet.

ReplyDeleteIf PAP government signed the CECA with India;
Does this mean that PAP knows that India has the necessary skill sets that the PAP government needs?
In all spheres of business and government linked companies ( GLC ) they claim there are no local talents to run them and so they have to recruit villagers from third world countries especially from the country south of the Himalayas. Yet all these companies were built up by local Singaporeans with local capital. Just take for example DBS the Development Bank of Singapore was initiated by Dr. Goh Keng Swee in early 1960s and with the help of a large pool of Singapore talents and Singapore capital he built and developed DBS to what it is today. All the well oiled systems, departments and connections both local and overseas were perfectly built up and run by local Singaporeans. Then out of the blue they recruited a stranger from nowhere to run DBS as the CEO claiming there was no local talent. With everything well in place and with all sections and various departments well run by highly qualified Singaporeans even if the CEO goes on a one year extended leave or absence the
ReplyDeletebank can and will still be able to run efficiently and profitably. This foreigner is just
an opportunist who supplanted Singaporeans and yet he is paid an exorbitant high salary every year cum ten to twelve million dollars in perks and bonus thrown in annually. It is indeed a waste of tax payers' money. What benefit has this foreigner brought to Singapore or is he being made use of to cover up some hidden agenda under the guise of foreign talent.
A cynical observer and flabbergasted citizen

think many of the Foreigner were not engaged as Chief Operation Officer but, they were super vacuum

Not really lah. Maybe for his own good reasons and being also a smart Sinkie , Jin Teik didn't want, or was reluctant, to be Sports Hub CEO in the first place? Possible, tio bo? That's why Sawhney could get the job lor.
Just as smart Sinkies didn't want, or are reluctant, to join the Sinkie opposition to fight and replace PAP as govt. That's why PAP could win the election lor.

Ya hor, why nobody else think of that hah? U are simply brilliant in giving such an insight.
Anyone thinks a population of about six millions has more talents than nations with much higher populations and longer history ?
ReplyDeleteTiny lsland States should feel lucky that others do not eant them and leave them alone. Yet, one tiny speck wants to show off as if it is invincible.
lt is very vulnerable to it's own stupidity and ignorance.
Arrogance shall be very costly if not fatal.
Smart Sinkies also didn't want, or are reluctant, to become a Sinkie PM or minister.

ReplyDeleteYou always have a high regard that these MPs, Ministers and what PM can earn more than been in the House.
You won't be surprised that they are worth ZERO in the commercial sectors.
You thinj Liu earned more as a Director in Chip Seng than been a Minister??
Some more got to don't said until so low pull strings or use past influence or Quan see to go in.
NOL CEO why straight away cannot be headhunt by the private sector and had to be spoon fed to SPH? ?
Singapore got talent meh? Government thinks they are all hidden in the military. That may explain why all top guns are rope in to serve at top government jobs. Recently more were appointed as Perm Sec.
ReplyDeleteYou thinj Liu earned more as a Director in Chip Seng...NOL CEO why straight away cannot be headhunt by the private sector...
ReplyDeleteVirgo49 11:07 am
Virgo49, I think u are confused lah.
Because Liu and the ex NOL CEO are not really smart mah. And that's precisely the reason why Sinkies suffer because real smart ones who can help Sinkies didn't want to be minister or NOL CEO.
Hope u are clear now.
It's true, it's true. Singaporeans don't want to be CEO of DBS and Sports Hub and all the CEO positions. So got no choice lah, must go all over the whole wide world to hunt for the best talents that want these jobs.
ReplyDeleteSingaporeans also don't want to be PM and President.
Wanna bet, the next Sports Hub CEO would be an angmoh or an Indian. Definitely not a general. They cannot afford that.

ReplyDeleteIf the majority of the people in the Singapore government are from the military ... Does this mean Singapore is becoming a military junta?
..........
A military dictatorship (also known as a military junta) is a form of government different from civilian dictatorship for a number of reasons:
their motivations for seizing power, the institutions through which they organize their rule, and the ways in which they leave power.
Often viewing itself as saving the nation from the corrupt or myopic civilian politicians, a military dictatorship justifies its position as “neutral” arbiters on the basis of their membership within the armed forces.
For example, many juntas adopt titles, such as “National Redemption Council", “Committee of National Restoration", or “National Liberation Committee".
Military leaders often rule as a junta, selecting one of them as the head.

Singaporeans also don't want to be PM and President.
ReplyDelete11:21 am
Not Singaporeans, but real smart Singaporeans don't want to be PM and President.
TCB wants to be President shows that he is not smart because he cannot help Singaporeans even if he becomes President. How to, when PAP is the govt and he is not the choice of PAP to be President?
'Anyone thinks.......... .. ....'
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone also think that Sin has talents to run manage it ?
The best in Sin is probably average elsewhere. The Leaders in Sin even imagine that
Singaporeans can go abroad to compete. Maybe there is a handful of them but definitely not from the Ruling Fraternity in Sin which is made up of many foreign borns.
Sin shall be takened by
aliens soon or occupied by majority aliens
Think there could be millions in India better than the best in Singapore to better run Sin.

You want to be in private sectors as doctors, for example and have to earn extra incentives from Pharmaceutical and Milk Powder companies just to have an Atas Standard of living.
Whereas just as a Minister, you have the pomp and pageantry everywhere you go like a celebrity.

Skilled Immigrants - H-1B Visas Under Fire
ReplyDeletehttps://www.bloomberg.com/quicktake/skilled-immigrants
----------------
When some Americans talk about immigration, they picture people they want to keep out: the undocumented ones sneaking across the southern border.
But when some U.S. businesses talk about immigration, they picture people they’d like to bring in, especially those with science, math or computer skills.
President Donald Trump has called for an increase in the legal immigration of high-skilled workers even as he’s looking to overhaul the temporary visa program used by technology companies to hire tens of thousands each year.
The result could roil businesses from Silicon Valley to New Delhi.
-------------------------
Is there any similarity between USA's H-1B visa and Singapore's S-Pass?
9.52pm, no lar the USA visa mainly aimed for technology people whereas sg s pass can go to cashier, hair dresser, massage ladies, karaoke ladies and prostitutes disguised in some other jobs.
