NLB CEO as BAD as Durai
-
http://forums.delphiforums.com/sammyboymod/messages/?msg=79160
Welcome to the new NLB and welcome to the new CEO.
This CEO competes well with Durai in terms of taste. The CEO's office is either at the 14th or the 15th floor.
He has his own toilet. dont know whether it has gold plated taps. From all accounts, heard that it was expensive as well.
And he has his own private garden next to his office. The entrance to the garden is through his office only and is not accessible to anyone else. The garden and landscaping show his expensive taste.
The carpet in his room had cost $80000. After having spent months making the selection, the CEO doesnt like the carpet. So, this carpet is going to be replaced. No one knows what the new carpet is going to cost.
The CEO is also not happy with the glass door to his office and to the garden. He wants them changed. The changes to the furnishings and fittings will cost the NLB an addtional S$50000.
I wonder whose money are they spending?
Contrast this with the office of a Fortune 500 CEO's office that I visited last month. The company follows a cublicle policy and the CEO's cubicle is just a tad bigger than the cubicle of any engineer or manager in the company. The only luxury the CEO enjoys is that he has 3 cubicles called the CEO's office-- one where he sits, in another he has important meetings, and the 3rd one he uses for exercise and relaxation. The CEO is a workaholic and typically spends 12-14 hours at his office.
I hope someone drills some sense into the Government CEOs that they are custodians of tax payers' money and be frugal in their approach. -
Over the National Day celebration, PM Lee has just lambasted presidency wannabe for his previous job changes and emphasised on the importance of transparency.Originally posted by crazy monkey:http://forums.delphiforums.com/sammyboymod/messages/?msg=79160

Many people have written to the press and posted to Feedback Unit to ask for transparency in Temasek and fee increases. NLB CEO should be asked by petition to be transparent in spending of taxpayers' monies !!! -
I guess the unemployed in s'pore has too much free time stalking the CEO.

I am in the US (former singaporean) and i had heard of the NKF story. This news alone is enough to deter further NKF donations. It is the power of suggestion.
Once people know that this new CEO has very much common with the old one, they become disillusioned. They are making the same mistakes again. -
woooho.......
more rich than NKF
no wonder i always see craps book in NLB

Surely, reports of wrong doings cannot be about the minions only ?
The question to the Ruling Party a.k.a the present Singapore Government - concerning GIC and GLCs transparency - has been asked many times over, and the response has always been evasive.
The other branches of the Elite Services in the Statutory Boards, Civil Services, and GLCs are learning the extravagant habits of the Ruling Party, and balking with similar style of evasive answers when probes are made.
With so much cash in the Singapore Reserves, the new attitude has now changed to one of - "We can AFFORD IT, so WHY NOT ? ".
No wonder, a sum of $600,000 is small change, even 'PEANUTS'. -
how about stalking each and every one of them to find out the truth?Originally posted by Atobe:When the Straits Times have so much time stalking the Singapore minions, who is looking at the Elites ?

CEO of NLB will be a different scenario as it is part of government. One of the ministers will speak on his behalf and at the end all will be explained and accepted as there is no acccountability or transparency to verify what is right or wrong.
It is difficult to decide what is expensive since the days of the 7 wonders when expensive marbles or furnishing become part of the normal architectural aesthetics.
The people cannot convince the government not to spend on any expensive toilets or golden taps because their contribution to the economy is in billions. In any event these kinds of monies are not donations like the NKF but may be regarded as long term investments.
Even if golden book covers are installed in NLB they can be explained too as the bookds might be too valuable to be kept in ordinary covers. Carpets too are nowadays normal furnishing of ministers' offices.
One JTC officer even traded in art investments so how to ask for accountability. Anything can be explained unless it is unconscionable wastage of donation monies like the NKF case. -
hahaha.... seems like spore is getting more and more currupted.... maybe someday even worst than out neighbour countries?
Or they are idoilised the neighbour and set them as example? -
