Re: SMRT CEO Saw Phaik Hwa resigns!! :(

I think at the end of the day,
whoever sits on the CEO chair will be having a tough time.
No matter how hard he/she tries, sg cry babies will still kpkb hiding behind the keyboard.

BUY SMRT Shares on Monday when SGX opens.

Her resignation is positive news for the counter!

We dont need a fat $1 mil Msian FT, kungfu master with DFS shop experience and bio degree to run our MRT with no empathy to the suffering of Sporeans in overcrowded trains.

Lau Kway Bu tonic Saw has tan gao liao over the years in SMRT.

Don't be silly. Do not buy SMRT shares now. In fact, sell all SMRT shares that you are currently holding.
Only start buying after the 63-year old seatwarmer interim CEO is out of the picture and SMRT has appointed a new, credible CEO.

Well if you have a solution maybe you should apply for the CEO post.

This is a pleasant piece of good news on a Friday evening.. The voices of the people have been heard.. Good riddance to her..

“No good leader will leave the field when the battle is on. I will rightly stay to set things right.” - Saw Phaik Hwa, SMRT CEO (CNA 28 Dec 2011)

Many people from many countries have high regards for our MRT system, and would die for to have one in their own city or country. Malaysia for one is interested to have our MRT system extended into their territory.

It's just that some 40 percent of S'poreans think that anything run by the PAP government must be tiptop and 100 per cent flawless. It's ok if the other political parties make mistakes, or is flawed - nevermind if some of their members tell lies or commit some wrongdoings!

Malaysian wanting three mrt system like singapore? Fyi malaysians drive and practically every families own at least one car because they can afford one. Not only that taxis are very cheap.

You really need to do some study before jumping to conclusion.

Maybe she had already set things right. It took her less than two weeks (28 Dec 2011 - 6 Jan 2012) to do so.

Send in the cable ties. How hard can it be?

There is also competition between the rail & bus services. When one service goes down you have the other to rely on. I was in KL when there was a rail disruption. I simply switched to a bus. It was of course more crowded but I got to my destination on time.

In KL, to certain destination, I am sure you know about, you have the choice of Monorail LRT & even KTM commuter, plus the bus & of course the taxi's.

auravandil was the first foummer in SBF to correctly predict she will be a sacrificial lamb.

Kudos to aurvandil.

Parlimentary statement by the rear guarding admiral on Monday. The timing of Saw's resignation suggest significant lapses were discovered. The goat has been sacrificed so we will get the rare opportunity to hear about something quite candid.

It is a good play on the part of the PAP and will win back a fair amount of political credibilty and points. More so if they treat Saw harshly and do things like a claw back of the million dollars or so of bonus she was paid just prior to the incident.

The rear gaurdsman is going to see his popularity surge in the short run. His colleagues will be busy taking notes on how blood sacrifices can make a person popular.The Opposition are going to have hard time countering if they continusly serve up CEOs and even senior civil servants as blood sacrifices to appease angry Singaporeans for policy failures.

Re: SMRT CEO Saw Phaik Hwa resigns!! :(

She's not staying to fix things liao?

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1175196/1/.html

she can't even fix her own hair, how to fix things? maybe fixing too much of smrt staff and now kena fixed back.

 

[Leckmichamarsch]

Those who have been calling for her to quit, you are happy now?

YES but a tad too late n after all the defiance!
Bet you she will be housed in one of the GLC just like Wong Kan Seng sought refuge in Temasek Holding's golden car park erh gold carPERKs

How when she clearly knew she caused them by cost reducing maintenance, sub to unqualified vendor for cheapest prices, displaced experienced sgians with FTs n Banglas who obviously cut corners by skipping maintenance routines (else how do you explain dropped claws????).
She knows fuckall and fucked care about non retail space biz - fucking big mismatch of experience n job requiirements. MRT is about land transportation NOT selling retail spaces which my pet dog can do better at lower pay - just few cow bones daily will do! No need for Ferrari

SINGAPORE: SMRT CEO Saw Phaik Hwa, 57, has resigned, according to an SMRT filing with the Singapore Exchange (SGX).

Her resignation comes less than a month after two major breakdowns in SMRT-operated train services.

Ms Saw stepped down as president and CEO of SMRT with immediate effect "to pursue personal interests", according to the filing.

SMRT has appointed 63-year-old Tan Ek Kia, a board director, as interim CEO.

Who told her to get lost? Rear Adm Lui or LHL?
Bet you Ho Ching will take her in for another golden carpark job!!
