Yaacob is completely correct to say that you cannot give 100 per cent assurance that nothing else will happen to disrupt our network but he was completely off the mark if this is a response to the M1 71-hour network failure and the Singtel Bukit Panjang fire.
He gets away this time in 2013. I am not sure he will be so lucky if you add five more years. By then lots more consumers will be more sophisticated and understand that the reasons for M1 and Singtel failures were completely unreasonable.
I would loved to see him dropped as a minister in the next round. This guy is ineffective to the point that it is worth trying out a younger Malay MP taking over.
ST has done you a disservice quoting you this way. Aren't you the minister in charge of such matters? Even they are careless and have no respect for you. You get more from Breakfast Network and the others. If this isn't stupid, I don't know what is.
Yaacob is one of those useless ministers that LHL will keep using at his own peril. Case in point - Mah Bow Tan and Wong Kan Seng. Says a lot about a leader when he persists with ineffectual personnel under his command.
ReplyDeleteCount Raymond Lim too. We often forget what he had not done for land transport as the Transport Minister. What MBT failed to do, we could fix quite quickly. Not so for the mistakes Raymond Lim made.
