The PAP had finally introduced all the
candidates a coupled of days ago, many of which, if not all, are
great potentials and with capabilities. Unfortunately, in my view,
there may be one, which can put the party's credential in
question.
The Straits Times reported on 15
Apr 2011, that one of the candidate (Ang Wei Neng, VP SBS Transit)
had learnt the value of empathy from his son, which after all, may
be a question.
I understand from a friend who
used to work in SBS Transit and specifically under his west
district management, mentioned that all 7 of the Route Manager
resigned during his tenure, and that is not inclusive of those who
worked directly under him in the district HQ. As a comparison, none
left during the same period at the East District.
I believe that speaks volume of
his management capabilities. Of course, it is not just abut his
management capabilities in question, but also other areas of
concern which i believe, those who had worked under him, can attest
to some of those areas.
I strongly believe that the
candidates which all the parties put up, should not be just focused
on career or academic achievements. These are just one part of the
reflection of an individual's values, management capabilities and
work ethics. All-rounded feedback about the individual should be
gathered when parties are fielding their candidates. One good
example is the tremendous good feedback from all levels of soldiers
for the two ex-Generals (Tan Chuan-Jin and Chan Chun Sing) who have
nothing but good words on their leadership qualities as well as
values and ethics.
I sincerely hope that
in the running up to GE 2011, the selection of candidates must be
done thoroughly especially on the values and ethics of the
candidates as they are the same people who will be serving the
people of the public.
