Serious General Perm Sec Neo Rolls Up His Sleeves And Gets To Work At SMRT On Sunday!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE: Incoming SMRT CEO Neo Kian Hong made his first public appearance since it was announced that he will be taking over from incumbent Desmond Kuek, visiting ground staff on the East-West line (EWL) on Sunday (Apr 29) morning.

In a Facebook post, SMRT said that Mr Neo, together with SMRT chairman and Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan, were "on the ground to support our staff" as the rail operator commenced the first full Sunday trial of the new Communications-Based Train Control system on the EWL during passenger service hours. Previous tests were done outside operating hours.

"During the visit, teams from both Land Transport Authority and SMRT also gathered first-hand feedback on ground operational matters," SMRT added in the post.

Mr Neo will be taking over from Mr Kuek on Aug 1. He is currently the Permanent Secretary for Defence Development and a former chief of defence force.



He was also appointed a non-executive director of Singapore Technologies Engineering last June.

Mr Neo's appointment came after a "comprehensive global search" by SMRT

When Lui Tuck Yew first started this "on the ground" patrolling of SMRT, even if it was for show, at least he was travelling alone without fanfare and whatever photos circulated were all put up by members of the transport taking public.

Ever since then, we've had a parade of never ending politicians/CEOs making the rounds with the blue collar staff and members of the public together with a full PR/social media entourage. This is becoming annoying and too wayang to be taken seriously.

Agree..Lui is a humble chap unlike all these clowns milking publicity for their own personal profiles. Disgusting to the max when leaders behave this way. Well, the 70% voted for these scums ...

that's the new stick thumb in your collective arse sign for good riddance to complaints.

 

[glockman]

All showing thumbs up, except for Neo. He knows he can't do it.

 

[borom]

Nothing will change unless the 70% " wake up their idea" and vote wisely.
if anything they have become more arrogant- as seen from this appointment, the Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods, asking of Sylvia to apologise and the raising of prices on so many essentials esp water.

All state resources is working on MRT for years. Neo is there to make the government scheme look good.

Neo raises his hand in resignation while the rest of them are telling him " Bro, someone got to do the dirty work! Right , everyone ? Thumb up for Yah ? "

With such a gifted team at the helm I'm certain that all the problems at SMRT will be resolved in next to no time.

You sure have confidence in the paper general.

The one that is different in the team is Neo. And the only difference is that he is new. He probably knew as much as the other members of the old team.

Hopeful this time the Feng Shui is better.

 

[Truth_Hurts]

[steffychun]

[Annunaki]
