KARTer 2nd Gear December 22, 2011 Share December 22, 2011 Lets move on............. although ah phaik may be 'retained' by her powerful backing for another 10yrs, lets give some thoughts to the above just in case.... - Should the new CEO be someone from the rank of SAF scholars / top brass? or some elite civil servants / miw comarades? (eg TLP, to let her 'shine'?) - What Quali / track records he/she must have? ('connections' can be counted?) - What are the first things he/she must address and produce results within first 6 months? - What major changes/revamp (including making SMRT public?)?? - How to make the salary package truly performance-based? - etc etc (pls add) Thank you hor..... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim 1st Gear December 22, 2011 Share December 22, 2011 (edited) The correct question is this: Does this guy have the right qualifications to be the CEO of LTA? It is LTA's job to ensure SMRT has the right expertise, and to ask inconvenient questions.

Lethalstrike Turbocharged December 22, 2011 Share December 22, 2011 Personally, i will forget about hiring someone who has too much of an extensive experience in our public or GLC sector. How about spending some peanuts to get a few of these FTs to join SMRT? Tokyo Metro Corporate Executives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just $$$. +1 honestly the CEO does not require any knowledge as it will mainly be run by ppl under him/her... but the heart to serve is the most impt... maybe someone like CSM... who takes public transport most of the time...

Lesser load on MRT will have lesser damage to the rails, lesser breakdowns. He can keep his fat bonus, just needs to say "CEO primary roles and responsibilities are very hard defined".

2009k Neutral Newbie December 22, 2011 Share December 22, 2011 A solid AO who has since left govt service for McDonald's is the finest person who can set things right. If the govt service is looking at this thread go seek KC Tan and see if you can convince him to take the job. Heard he just left McDonald's... PS Ow might still be in contact with him. I seldom praise AOs, but KC Tan is that solid and polished that can shoulder this portfolio. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
