[bushtucker]

his logic seems to be moving house (implying he bought a new house) is cheaper than buying a car. lol.

 

[virus]

no different from the fake buddhist call $8 cowdung doing PCC standing at corner of lor 18 geyland and a public vow to abstain from sex

 

[ToaPehGong]

I can only say wahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[zhihau]

does his wife drive?

 

[JohnTan]

This general truly leads by example. Finding a talent like him after a global search was a stroke of good luck for all sinkies. We can now travel with greater peace of mind.

Military men never lie.

So that means Alvin Kek only had 2 beers when he landed at Immigration with his ATB stenching with alcohol.

 

[rushifa666]

cpib case coming soon then

 

[Bonut]

i can see the Ranger badge on his arms.

any bros gone through the SAF Ranger Course ? Tough or Not ?

How much are they selling those badges at Beach Road ?

 

[hairylee]

Please dun wayang. They are adding new trains into the system ie. using our money buy new trains, charge us for it, then claim they have reduced breakdowns.

 

[Confuseous]

Don't be conned by him lah. He is given a company car to fetch him around.

In any case, selling car and house for the job reflects that the man is not confident of doing the job well, trying to build positive
credits to his performance (or potential lack of) and makes his bosses look bad.

Or maybe he is a closet greenie, posturing himself as someone who really cares about his product. Will he wear a tampon every day
if he is the CEO of the tampon company?

 

[virus]

tinking aloud

 

[cocobobo]

these kind of actions is better in retrospect rather than talk at the start.

setting himself up to fail when he is seen driving a car.

aiyoh.. these kind of ceo 101 basics also must teach.

 

[steffychun]

Military men never lie.

You defend them too weakly

 

[eatshitndie]

recommend that he gets a 2018 porsche macan turbo as backup in case the mrt breaks down and he can't get to work.

 

[KuanTi01]

Either that or his wife will chauffeur him around. lol

 

[KuanTi01]

I can only say wahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

It's just a cheap publicity stunt. Once the mrt breaks down again, he'll regret!

 

[Rogue Trader]

I would give credit when it's due. The CEO taking the train service to work is a first step to being serious about improving his company's performance. Whether it's wayang or not, time will tell.

Less than two weeks into the job, new SMRT CEO Neo Kian Hong said on Monday (13 August) that he has given up his car and will rely on public transport in order to better understand issues on the ground, according to media reports.

“I sold my car earlier on but I didn’t want to buy a new car, because it is more useful for me to take the MRT to understand the issues and take our company’s assets like our taxis and buses,” Neo told reporters, according to a Channel NewsAsia report.

He added that his family had moved to a new home near Shunfu “just to make sure I can take the trains to work and it’s easier for me and my family can support me in doing this.”

The former Chief of Defence Force (CDF) was speaking on the sidelines of a visit to SMRT’s Bishan depot on Monday (13 August). Neo said that he has set out three goals for the rail operator: providing reliability, creating sustainability and ensuring continuous improvement.
The 54-year-old stressed that reliability of services was a “basic requirement” that SMRT would need to provide.

Separately, Neo announced that six new trains will be added to the North-South and East-West Lines (NSEWL) in September, with another six to be introduced in early 2019, in order to meet commuter demand.

They will be the first trains in Singapore equipped with “tip-up seats” to allow more standing space for commuters during peak hours.
Neo replaced the embattled Desmond Kuek, also a former CDF, who tendered his resignation in January 2018 after six years at the helm. Neo was appointed after a “global search” for Kuek’s replacement, said SMRT in April.

Kuek’s tenure was marked by an increasing frequency of rail breakdowns and by numerous incidents such as a tunnel flood that resulted in a 20-hour disruption in train services, a fatal accident near Pasir Ris MRT station as well as a train collision that injured 38 people.

LG Neo looks ready. but but is he willing to kill the " deep cultural issues" that Desmond ....
