Now, how could a barefaced liar like that end up with all those fancy appointments? One icon of cronyism may be gone, but it looks like the Spring Festival clean up rite has yet to begin in earnest.

ReplyDeleteAnother crony opens the mouth.
ReplyDeleteAnother fine example that when you have merit (right genes or right connections), you get so many appointments that pay so well you don't have to work.
ReplyDeleteSaycheese
Poor Saw has to Phaik the bullets while others Haw behind her.
ReplyDeletejuz get this cartoon to repeat under oath
ReplyDeleteGood catch!
ReplyDeleteShe is just a scapegoat.
ReplyDeleteThey're now 'inventing excuses' to give her some face to leave gracefully.
Don't Be Naive! Her Resignation Won't Solve The SMRT Problem. The Problem Is Bigger Than That! Only People Higher Up There Knows!
So now she got a taste of her own medicine for having previously insisted on sacking someone on the eve of a festive season as reported in the Shit Times.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been a sweet revenge for that person! Moral of the story is not to be too arrogant or cocky like the old man.
"She is just a scapegoat.

Scapegoat. She just one of them. Once she is gone, next in line is her team of chairmen who work alongside her AYAing. Do anyone think that she alone can act such way if not her batch of high-position clowns supporting her ?
What I don't understand is why these top people can still hold their heads high after such blatant lies were told.
ReplyDeleteDon't they feel ashamed of themselves?
Normally early retirement or wanting to resign earlier just reasons fo save face. I alsonkena early retirement when company eliminates my whole division so we all went with our boss as well all under early retirement.
ReplyDeleteWhen we let go managers also under early retirement what
Contrariness from the chairman can be misleading. just get the MRT fixed!!!
ReplyDeletePerhaps the COI has taken a cursory look at the mess and shaking heads have signalled that they will not be able to fabricate, conceal, misrepresent, fudge her to safety and its best that she gets out now.
