So i had my weekend all planned out, supposed to be working for just half a day today. My plan was to take a train down to chinatown and take some pics, Sago lane, amoy st, trenganu st places like that but as with most of my best laid plans when i got to the office this morning everything went kaput! My boss(director) called and asked to help out another site as they had some staff issues to reslove like a fool i said ok! the place is called Yew Mei Green in CHUA CHU BLOODY KANG this area is cursed for me. When i was in the army they sent me to places as far from my home in tampines as possible, pulau tekong was the nearest camp i was ever in. Most of my army dayz were spent either overseas or in CHUA CHU BLOODY KANG and now this place has come back to bite me in the ass. Yew Mei Green was were i was sent to understudy before taking over my own site in lovely sengkang, it was my hope that i would never come back here again but lo and behold i have returned......So my lovely day in china town is ruined and i will have to make do with this place. The worst part of it all is that i will have to sit in on a job interview at 4 with the chairman of the estate and its for the same post that i hold, how odd is that. PICS to follow later in the day.
So the Board, C.E.O and Patron have all resigned, tis a shame as this puts this topic to bed or so it seems. I dont know if any laws were broken but i guess the problem is that most of us hate the fact that WE DID NOT KNOW what was going on and did not bother to find out, and once everyting came out WE jumped up and down in indignation, me included. At this point i take exception to only a few things, namly the car for his wife to use, the servicing of his private car using NKF funds, his involvement in other companies that directy benifit form him being involved in NKF. His pay to me is a non issue if he lead NKF to such a large surplus then commend him for that and reward him. The board should have taken more interest in his dealings with other comapines AND the Board shoould have been more open with the public, the Minister for finances put something interesting out there, are the NKF overcollecting? While there is nothing wrong with have a large reserve, every dollar they take may be a dollar that could have gone to a charity with more immediate needs. 25% of the bills i hope is just an average and i hope that it works on a case by case method where poorer patients may get even 100% coverage. In the, i guess resign was all they could do. They have to save the NKF and if they stayed public confidence would have turned against them even more. The press offered no comfort or safe haven, a lesson learnt here is that you should never try and fight with someone that buys ink by the barrel. As to the "peanuts" remark this isnt the first time we have heard this coming from up high, to me it shows the growing disconnect between the "upper- classes" and the middle and lower class groups. his pay packet of almost 1mil is fine in the context of what he has done however to call it peanuts simply shows that to these people who earn that kind of money in a week or a month it is PEANUTS and if that is peanuts i would like to pose this question should we be paying peanuts to someone who looks after hundreds of millions of dollars, because to me it seems that they got what they paid for, paid peanuts got (SCREWED)monkeys. Its an insult to all hardworking people, though it may be true...if they think 1mil is peanuts what do they think of the average wage of singaporeans and by extension what do they think of us

sidebar- if they say that 1mill or almost 1mil is peanuts, my pay is worse than peanuts man.....its not even a bloody pea. Its the dust you brush off your hands after eating peanuts divided by 250.
