i havent been reading the sh itty times lately.. what happened on buying properties?
Are company directors trustees of the company? Trustees have trustee responsibility according to dictionary but now it would look like in Singapore trustee directors could engage themselves in buying their own company property during pre-launch encouraging people from buying back door from the directors.
Our GLCs are now run as if all the directors could do as they like just like the ministers putting up motion to give themselves pay rises to no end.
The NKF revelation is only the tip of the iceberg as mentioned by many forumers. Below the look-good presentations, there exist many power games and power plays which defy rule of laws and dictionary meanings.
This and many other issues now await the citizens to address them one by one now with the latest practices of ministers giving themselves any pay rise they like depending on their power over the MPs and parliament which are totally under the control under appointment powers and the party whip.
It has been revealed in some forums that ministers' retirement gratuities or pensions are now payable not upon retirements but while ministers are still keeping their ministerial posts.
So, in Singapore, all the meanings of words especially monetary words seem to have taken on new connotations or meanings depending on one's power.
what should be the dictionary meaning of retirement or pension now?
just like some words which have double meanings
