The Strait Times Interactive has a tonnes of information and articles which are easily available to the public. Anyone who has been keeping up with the news and following the issues would be able to draw up the articles quickly.Originally posted by goh meng seng:Dear Barracuda,
I always suspect that you are from ST.Only ST reporters could possibly draw out past ST reports that fast.
Back to your assertions. That's not true, Barracuda. Business Time put it up as the Headline, Top breaking news.You mean to say that Business Time is a tabloid too?
(They have put this news as their main headline in their website).
Almost all main newspapers in HK put it up as headline/breaking news. You mean to say that all HK newspapers are tabloid?
It is of great public interests to start with. Whether we like it or not, this incident is going to affect DBS reputation in HK. In HK history, this is the first of its kind blunder which affects badly on commercial confidence on the level of safeness on the safe boxes.

Foreign Talents = Low MoraleOriginally posted by fymk:DBS = don't be stupid
or
DBS = deliberate bull sh.it
or
DBS = Do be stupid
last time under local rule....not so much problems
now under foreign talent rule........well let's blame the foreign talents
the fact is it belongs to DBS Group & therefore DBS Singapore (owners/HQ) cannot relinquish the full resposibility. This is true vice versa, meaning that DBS Singapore will also gain credit if DBS Hong Kong is performing very well. It has adverse implications as it cast doubts on consumer confidence on the bank. Take it as a setback, admit the mistake, disclose the reasons for the blunder & implement ways to tighten the procedures so that consumer confidence can be won over quickly, before we see the competitors start taking advantage of the situation. Time is essence.Originally posted by paperchicken:who is responsible for the fault ? The hongkong employees in DBS ? This dun happen in DBS Singapore branches wat.![]()
it is easy to find a scapegoat & put all the blame to the staff. What is difficult is for management to share equal responsibility & find ways to minimise the incident from happening again. This applies to every company anywhere in the world, be it in Taiwan or Hong or Indonesia or Malaysia, even Singapore. The question is why must it happen to you & not your competitor.Originally posted by paperchicken:But like wat happen to SIA crash in Taiwan there are other party who shd share the blame also. If DBS have a set of procedures but HongKong employees dun follow then whose fault is it.![]()
I think the HongKong media is baised to put the matter under the spot lights because it is a Singapore bank operating in HK. If a HK bank make the same blunder would the treatment be the same ?Originally posted by bluesky296:it is easy to find a scapegoat & put all the blame to the staff.

that's what will be the case when you bring your business elsewhere as you are competing with the locals & eat part of their pie in their house. Be pepared for biasd & unfair comeptition in a hostile environment. Again , it can happen anyway in the world, be it Hong Kong, China, Vietnam & even US. One has to be extra vigilant, avoid the pitfalls & learnt from the hardknocks & prepare to fight harder than the locals. In fact, a good strategy is to engage the locals to run the business although the risks is also for them to play you out. But if you survive & rise above the local competitors, then you emerge much bigger & stronger. In the world of business, it is always Big Fish eat small Fish, no good or bad fish.Originally posted by paperchicken:I think the HongKong media is baised to put the matter under the spot lights because it is a Singapore bank operating in HK.
