True talent knows no boundary. If the PAP is correct, and that these scholar generals and civil servants who are supposed to be true talents who can run big companies, why then have non ever been hired by a foreign company? Other then George Yeo, who is running a subsidiary of Kerry International, Kerry Logistics, no one else have been recruited from the ranks of hundreds of retired Colonels and Generals. If there was not a Ministry, or GLC, or Stat Board that you can stick them in, they would all not be employable in the work place.
Look at many big international companies world wide.
CEO of a Japanese company, Nissan is Ghosn, a Brazilian.
CEO of Pepsi is Indra Nooyi, an Indian
CEO of Coca Cola is Muhtar Kent, a Turk
CEO of Nokia is a Canadian, STephen Elop
etc etc
The world is full of examples of many big companies run by a foreign talent, a real foreign talent. Is it not telling that no companies come to singapore to recruit ex scholar Generals and Ex PSC scholars to be their higher management staff with a view to grooming to be a possible future CEO? In other words, the world recognizes these assholes are not talents at all. Only 70% dumbshits and the PAP say they are.
