Tan Suee Chieh: Sacrificing NTUC Income’s values for short-term gains undermines its foundation
Really don’t know what to say about this guy, weird. Is he alright or not?
Why TKL could not take out $300 from his wallet to pass to his friend for the help rendered is beyond logic.
TKL now depends on takers to his posters to pay his friend? What about the $20 posters? Not stated what happens to the sale proceeds.
Compare his action with that of Gerard Goh!
Talk about low class!
To All Presidential Voters,
This is an interesting article to read.
