[airman88]

I suspect the script was thrown at NCM to soften the blow and appease the peasants

 

[oOsiMm]

Feel like go walk ard JK estate on weekend as an Citizen and see random residents greet them with , " hello song boh??" 52% sure tio one..

 

[vbhelper]

Many people hate him until he don’t dare to take up any minister position
I start to feel sad for him already
Is this call cyber bullying?

 

[Spike]

This is quite damning on LHL's reputation given that he had defended and endorsed the most hated MP in Singapore history who happened to have had "dinner" with a convicted criminal of Singapore's worst money laundering case as well as involved in a string of controversies. Must get all other SME owners who had had meals with NCM to testify his impartiality. Not limited to billionaires only.

NCM's princeling treatment is not fair to Iswaran?

 

[Orionz]

[aspeno]

Politicians that have dinner with convicted criminal must resign. PAP must be whiter than white.

From his statement, can imply he have multiple meeting with Su

His apology to the teachers also insincere, what cannot really remember and so on

 

[crandfs]

"The needs of my residents and all Singaporean workers are my priorities"

Does this mean his heart is in WP?

Since when union leader was appointed by government?

 

[Tormented Soul]

Fujian members are ultra rich. One of them bought 10 condo units at S$88m at one go.

Before the arrest, many Singaporeans were trying to get close to them because they wanted to get good deals from them. Not just politicians, bank RMs, celebrities, and so forth would want to meet them.

Many people do not know how lavish are their lifestyles of the Fujian members. They have so much money that they need to get rid of them. For example, one of them wanted to donate S$300K to a temple but the temple in-charge rejected citing uncomfortable with the source of fund.

Then further more the politicians should stay away what. All these dodgy rich ppl still need to curry favour up?

 

[Orionz]

Exactly.

It's like a CEO will frequently engage all the various internal BU Heads, ... and other fellow industry c-suites.

zzzzz logic from Orionz lor ....

u obviously have no idea how a union should function right?

Meeting towkays behind closed doors, wine and dine.
This kind of meeting if caught overseas, the leader will most definitely and swiftly asked to produce agenda and minutes of meeting. If cannot produce, will be asked to step down liao.

Lai, i help you asked ChatGPT riaos:

Is it ok for a union leader to meet billionaire business owners behind closed doors?

ChatGPT said:​

Meeting with billionaire business owners behind closed doors isn't automatically wrong for a union leader, but it raises serious concerns that depend on how the situation is handled. The key issues are trust, transparency, and accountability.

When it might be justifiable:​

• If the goal is to secure better wages, benefits, or conditions for workers and the meeting is part of a formal negotiation process.
• If confidentiality is necessary for delicate negotiations, but the union leadership is committed to updating members when appropriate.
• If the union leader is acting within a mandate given by members or a bargaining committee.

When it's clearly problematic:​

• If the union leader does so without informing members, without oversight, or against their interests.
• If the meeting results in compromises that benefit the employer more than workers—especially if these are kept secret.
• If there's no accountability mechanism to ensure the union leader is acting on behalf of the membership.

Given the power imbalance between a billionaire and a union representing working people, such meetings demand extra scrutiny. Even if they start privately, the union leader must later explain the purpose, context, and outcome to their members.

Did Brother Ng publish his purpose, context and outcome of this meeting???

who said anything about appointed by government?
p.s. i think u misunderstood me

 

[ShinnAsuka]

he dun report, they dunno....until someone whistle blow then they go ask u for reciepts.....iswaran had to rush to ask obs to give him a receipt for private jet.......

Ok, just reread section 165. Only if there is a related business transaction, which was officially stated as none.

 

[Medicated Oil]

Depends on how u see it. Quite a few scenarios.

It’s possible NCM trying to find a 台階 and make it easier for LW not to assign him anything rather than later get kosong and damn malu. Cos LW earlier have hinted NCM might get something ma.

Or NCM 以退為進 and pushing it to LW to be 黑臉 and make the final decision to assign him something. This one cannot tell if it’s do for show or playing mind games liao.

It is a shrewd move.
LW will have to take the bullet for him if there are more discovery in the near future.

You know, Iswaran almost looks dignified compared to NCM. Found out, apologise, return salary, go jail.

Brother Ng keep deflecting, drawing free money from ntuc parachute post, plead ignorance when allianz sale screwed up, treat underlings so bad, scandal follow everywhere, still hang on for dear life and can’t take hint when to exit. Really shameless

[Arbalest]

Everyone here so excited, but pretty sure the man on the street doesn't give a shiat
