At the very least, according to his profile, he is a mechanical engineer.
So at least the case can be made that he understands things like track maintenance much better than Saw.
With any luck he will take SMRT back to its core business of getting people from point A to point B instead of building more and more retail shops.
I don't know the guy personally, but until if and when he screws up, let's not be too hasty to judge him.

Honestly, I don't think she doesn't deserve this much hate. Sure, I understand that she's made blunders over a course of only a few days and these mistakes led to many problems for people. But the fact that people are accusing her that she has no idea on how to run a company without any solid evidence is just stupid. She's been CEO of SMRT for the past 10 years and within those 10 years, nothing major has happened until now. Due to the fact that nothing major like this has happened in the past, the sudden rage must have startled her and she probably hasn't dealt with such situations before. She's managed the company for 10 years and she made mistakes. No one is perfect, you can see in the picture that she's dead tired and I may be wrong but I assume she's been pulling her hair out to try to fix this. Stop making accusations without any concrete evidence....

Because she is there.
-
i wonder if resign and ask to go is the same?
-
This has to be a good choice....Mr Tan's credentials show he is really an operational guy ....
-
The problems are major and being the leader in the organisation of course focus will be on her. No need to minimize the problems for her. If not for the pressure from the people she will still be happy work in SMRT and allow more problems to exist.
As a professional if she cannot and incapable to solve the problems then it is OK and only good and fair she resigns and make way for others who can help solve problem.
There is no need to side her . In any commerical corporations if the CEO is not performing out he goes. So I don't see the reason why minimize the problems to make her feel good.
-
I think Ng Ser Miang, Tan Hup Foi or any of the former Trans-Island directors should take over. They seem more competent considering their vast experience in the transport business.
-
She is one of the top dog and they would have found another lobang for her to hide for a while to convince her to surrender her million dollar salary.
As for the new guy or gal coming in, it should be one of croonies or friends of the top dog.
My guess is a guy from the Blue, Green or White. (They also dunno what to do with these "specialist")
I am shocked of her immediate resignation.
As to whether she deserved some much "attention", please go back to the news articles a few months back on her ya ya response on the overcrowding of train.
She is just getting back what she have dished out.

I am quite surprise that u had forgotten the issue of plp breaking into the depot which happen not one but twice. This by itself is serious enough as it can lead to another attack. I think the only contribution she did is to manage to get the PTC to keep increasing the transport fare which in the end only end up in her pocket as the increase in profit dun go to the shareholder div as there no increase in div to shareholder but alot of increase to her package. Then of cos it really depend what is the company objective, it is1) to provide a affordable/cheap/easy mode of transportation for the Singaporean. 2) Or the objective of the company is to serve as a milk cow to milk the Lesser Mortals. Thus base on u point if the objective is 1), then she is one of the worst CEO. However if it is 2) then I agree that she had done a good job for the past 10 yrs as she manage to get the PTC to keep increasing the fare.
