He noted that from the turn of the millennium, the Government had introduced a different brand of foreign talent.

A high-profile manifestation of that policy was the appointment of Mr John Olds as the chief executive officer of DBS Bank in 1998, said Mr Leong, a former managing director of OCBC Securities.

 

He recounted a senior Japanese banker telling him: "Leong-san, it's like having a foreigner to run Mitsubishi Bank in Japan. It's unthinkable!"

Mr Leong told the House he had supported Mr Olds appointment.

"However, I am deeply disappointed now because 22 years after his appointment, DBS is still without a home-grown CEO."

Mr Derrick Goh (Nee Soon GRC), a managing director and head of group audit at DBS Bank, in a swift response, said all members of DBS' top management team are Singaporean, except for one person, who is a Malaysian and a PR.

 

The bank's current CEO, Mr Piyush Gupta, was born in India and became a Singapore citizen in 2009.
