Chitchat Surbana - why Chan Chun Sing kept quiet over the sackings

By now many of you must have realised that when you sack someone for poor performance there must be a clear cut process (due process)to follow. Many of the staff sacked are as also union members and affiliated to NTUC. The union and NTUC was not informed. Any HR professional with something between the ears know what needs to be done. This is not a neighbourhood SME that hires uncles and aunties and operates on a shoestring budget. Even more surprising is the deadly silence from our NTUC Chief and a cabinet minister who is all mouth on every other matter under the sun. As the union chief surely a whimper of some sort is expected. What about our friend Lim Swee Say, our MOM Minister who looks after labour laws.

Well Surbana is part of Temasek Holdings, something our Aunty Ho of fashion world fame started. The CEO who initiated the sacking is a former Malaysian who joined EDB after doing his masters as young chiku. He became part of the Philip Yeo, Liew Mun Leong, Lim Swee Say and company and their famously networked EDB Alumni. This CEO went out to the private sector for many years but had kept contact with his mentors. His mentors pulled him into CapitaLand where he worked for Aunty Ho. He also closed the circle by becoming President of the highly influential Redas - the same organisation which hired a PAP MP as its head and that led to GCT issuing a set of the infamous guidelines. Redas is also where Kwa Kim Li is major player in the legal space having been it advisor for years, and successor to old man's wife and her niece.

The CEO left Capitaland for Surbana after a short break where Liew Mun Leong is Chairman. The same Liew that holds the record for highest bonus ever paid to an SGX CEO. A favourite of Aunty HO he was not shy to mention her in his book in true cock sucking manner.

The CEO of Surbana must have thought he was so powerful that he did what he did.

Back to our General and former Chief of Defence staff. Well our warrior on realising the multiple connections quickly decided to surrender out of fright. I suppose you are not about to take on Philip Yeo and company when they made the marriage in heaven for the first couple.
