Singapore top civil servant boasts luxury culinary course in Paris...then kena back fired!
The Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Environment & Water Resources took 5 weeks off from work and spent more than 40K to attend a French cooking course in Paris for his whole family and himself.
After coming back from the course, he wrote to newspaper to share (or boast) about his experience by disclosing the expenditure.
He then was kena lambasted by public for being insensitive of what he has done, considered he is a public figure and a leader in society. He was even criticised by a minister and fellow MP. Read the source here.
What wrong he has done? I think he should not be so high profile in bad time like this. There are many people out there waiting for this opportunity to step on him to get attention and to climb higher. This is a kind of survival skill. Learn well!
