That woman is an engineer by training. Coupled with the fact that she's a Msian made good in S'pore and an MP at that, it's no surprise that she carries a big chip on her shoulder. Engineers are straight-line thinkers, they dont understand the layered and complexities of human interaction and emotions, except their own. They make very poor people managers. Sportsmen have to be managed delicately or else they wont perform at their highest levels. LBW may need some training in the art of por-lor-sor and stroking egos. Her sportsmen (and trainers) will need lots of ego massaging to win more medals. There're so many ways of keeping Liu, afterall the new contract is worth close to SGD$8000 per month, not that much lesser than that of the "sports consultant". Probably it's the way she said it, that pissed off Liu. I can imagine her saying something like "take it or leave it".
People like Jose Mourinho and Filipe Scholari are paid many millions a year not only for their tactical prowess or knowledge of football, but also their abilities to inspire their players to perform like devils possessed. Champions are not champions because they're good technically but because they can breach their own thresholds. You wouldnt want to break your leg to win medals if you're so pissed off with the woman boss who will bath in the glory of your very own blood sweat and tears.
No emotional intelligence, this LBW woman.[/QUOTE
You forgot to add all the pappies are infected with the PAPnoassvirus, a very contagious, no cure virus, which 66.6% of the population are also affected.
The virus makes one walk with a stiff upper lips, obnoxious & proud, will only listen to oneself , feels invincible!.
Other than being an engineer by training or profession or from a nearby country, these won't affect a person much. The virus is the cause!, they have no humanity, money faced & inelastic!
At the moment, thers is no cure for it!
