SMRT Debacle - Lessons For Singapore?

Well said........... exactly my feelings!!

............. he is unrepentent with re hiring of dead woods like Wong KS, Mah BT. etc Datz the game PAP is playing If these fucktards are that good the world would be lining up to hire them like it happened to Goh Keng Swee

Maybe LHL is so blur that he cant tell the good guys from deadwoods.
 
I partly agree with you. The Govt and TH are partly at fault for choosing SPH and allowing her to do what she did. But SPH cant be absolve from fault. She was the CEO and she stteeredMRT. She might have the Govt, TH and SMRT Board's approval for what she did. But what shd did, eg maintenance neglect, was wrong. She cant escape the major responsibility of what happened at SMRT

It's not the real fault of either the Govt, TH and SMRT Board. The real fault rests with only one person. TNeither LTA, TH or SMRT Board would dare disobey that person's instructions. She will gets what she wants, her way. Still don't know who I'm referring to? The one who made billions of losses at TH but did not even a tiny slap on the wrist.

The unhappy things keep popping out, sign of a “negative circulation” stage.
Nothing is permanent; eventually that power will transfer to people at the right time.

Actually one of the ways to manage is to have subordinates far from you in ability. That way, you always remain on top. But such a method of management is found mainly around the bottom, where you have a supervisor and the rest just following instructions. At the top, normally you need significant inputs from the rest of your team in order to have the best response to issues. To have this at the very top, it is very odd.

Again I partly agree with you that HC is greatly at fault. But the govt is at fault in agreeing to put HC where she is. TH and SMRT Boards are also at fault for allowing HC to dominate and have her way. A Board has a duty to speak up against bad decisions.

We cant have a Board which just rubber stamps a decision. The Board must delibearte any proposal before approving it. And if HC can steamroll her way with her bad decision through the Board, isnt the Board also at fault?

True, that's leveling down.

Also most high calibre guys dont want to work for and report to a leader os substandard ability. Guess that's one reason why LHL cant attract good talent.

How can a non-talent attract talent?

ok, blame bush, the pap and hc. don't you have some originality? it's sounding like a broken record. *yawn*

I am glad you are no more defending LHL and the pap.

You have changed and now know the truth.

Good for you. The truth will free you from the pap bondage

This is a clear case of collusion,corruption and nepotism but nobody in the board of LTA,TH or SMRT dare to speak up the truth for fear of losing his/her status and monetary rewards.U pay a heavy price for speaking the truth in Singapore !

It speaks volumes of the quality of the TH Board, the SMRT Board and LTA

without LHL, there will be less poor and neglected Singaporeans, there will be less congestion, there will be less unemployed, there will be less divisiveness.
