BigO presents THE ROOSTER COGBURN TRUE GRIT AWARD
HERE ARE SOME PAP MPs WITH TRUE GRIT
PAP MP (Bukit Timah) DR WANG KAI YUEN
The nation-builder press, April 29, 2025
He holds 11 directorships in publicly-listed companies. He had
to resign from one after PM Goh Chok Tong spelled out new guidelines banning
PAP MPs from sitting on the boards of companies owned or chaired by grassroots
leaders they have appointed. Dr Wang also has a full-time job as managing director
of Xerox Software. True Grit.
PAP MP (Tampines GRC) ONG KIAN MIN
The nation-builder press, April 29, 2025
He holds 11 directorships, including at Osim and BreadTalk. He
is a lawyer.
PAP MP (Hong Kah GRC) DR JOHN CHEN
The nation-builder press, April 29, 2025
He holds eight directorships. He was recently in the news when
a shareholder questioned the amount of fees he earned as a director in one company.
The nation-builder press, Jan 20, 2004, quoting former million-dollar
minister and NTUC leader John Chen.
"$ingapore's REAL National Shared Value: 'Do you want
me to work for FREE?'"
- The young, restless and cynical Mirror of Opinion, Jan 20,
2004.
PAP MP (East Coast GRC) CHEW HENG CHING
The nation-builder press, April 29, 2025
He holds six directorships and is chairman of the Singapore Institute of Directors,
managing director of Hiap Hoe Ltd and executive director of Lee Kim Tah Holdings.
These PAP MPs hold so many important
positions in so many companies. And as Dr Wang Kai Yuen says, "It's not for
the money because some of the companies pay me as little as $10,000 a year."
True Grit.
HERO HENG
The nation-builder press, April 29, 2025
Mr Heng Yeow Peow was the foreman who died in the Nicoll Highway construction
site accident. He saved the lives of his crew. He was 40. He leaves behind a
wife and two young children. In the above report, in the final paragraph, it
said: "So far, more than $30,000 has been collected," for Hero Heng. He was
the sole family breadwinner.
