If a HR Manager or Public Service Commission is to look after
recruitment, would it allow anyone to be recruited based on
connection to insider.
For example, if the GM is to recommend an accounts manager who
is his confidante to the HR how would the HR handle this potential
Enron-situation.
LKY may have good reason to give certain post to his
ex-university study mates, by his influence or power but in doing
so does he not have the high standard to realize that once he
bypass the HR or PSC, he would be sending a wrong signal to PSC and
many people down the line would be too tempted to do the same in
employing only their own connections. Is this happening amounting
to corrupt practices under the Anti-corruption law?
Good leaders must avoid double standard by scrupulously
observing by personal example the same high standard as set up in
HR or PSC.
If he cannot meet such high standard then the conclusion of
obvious - he is not a good leader but someone who is self-centred
who could cause big problems to his company or country.
Let our leaders decide whether by appointing ministers or
talents based on some recommendations from their own circles of
ministers or friends is it a correct practice we should follow.
As our socieyt mature let the people now speak up on such issues
and not bear with all kinds of power play by our politicians.
