    The Straits Times reported on Friday, Dec. 28 that it understood the reason for his departure was due to an extra-marital affair.

    Gan, 61, is leaving to take responsibility for a “personal indiscretion”, ST said.

    ST also revealed that the CEO is married with grown-up children.

    SBS Transit chairman Lim Jit Poh was quoted by ST as saying: “Juay Kiat tendered his resignation to me this morning and expressed deep regret over his actions.”

    “He has accepted full responsibility for his lapses in conduct, and the board has accepted his resignation.”

    Gan will serve three months’ notice and leave on March 27, 2019

    In a bid to explain how one executive’s personal life can have a bearing on him discharging his professional duties as a CEO, ST quoted a human resource director to draw that link.

    The HR director said: “In other countries, such indiscretions are tolerated… In Singapore, we expect our public or corporate leaders to be whiter than white. It is our social norm.”

    This has couched the action as a matter of ethics.

    However, it was not reported or ascertained if the extra-marital affair took place with a personnel within the SBS Transit organisation or outside of it.

    A cursory reading of the HR director’s quote appears to suggest it is with someone outside of the organisation

    BT carried the full statement by Lim:

    In response to queries from The Business Times, SBS Transit chairman Lim Jit Poh said: “Juay Kiat tendered his resignation to me this morning and expressed deep regret over his actions. He has accepted full responsibility for his lapses in conduct, and the board has accepted his resignation. We have lost a good CEO who has done much for land transport in Singapore.”

    No extra-marital relationship was mentioned by CNA.

    CNA only reported:

    It is not clear what the actions were.

    But CNA did mention the portion about Gan’s “lapses in conduct”.

    To highlight the severity of this resignation, Gan’s departure is recognised as a matter of sufficient public interest though.

    This is so as his resignation has to be made publicly known, as an announcement was filed by the ComfortDelGro-owned company on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on Friday.

    This fact was also reported by ST.

  2. Wife asked me to collect something from a neighbour from another floor.

    She took her hp and read from WhatsApp message. The unit number is (for eg) #02-34.

    So I went down and go to #02-34 and press door bell. No one answer.

    I called my wife and said it's 02-34 hor. 

    She: yes 02-34.

    Me: nobody is in.

    She; but the neighhour told me she in.

    Me: OK can u WhatsApp her?

    She: sorry sorry it's 04-34

     

     

    How did she read wrongly even though the message is right in front of her eyes in the first place? Till now she and me has no explanation

    Well. I don't exactly know how a person can forget to wear specs especially if she has to take a lift and press lift buttons and walk to the car with a blurry sight all this while

  4. Waiting for wife in car downstairs while she was getting ready for work at home.

    She came down and I thought she wearing contacts so never question. 

    Drive out of carpark onto main road.

    She: I forgot my specs
