Welcome Saw Phaik Hwa to Blogosphere Ah!

13 Comments
Sometime back she resigned from SMRT to 'pursue personal interest' remember? Time seemed to zoom pass here in Perth but it's probably a time warp in SMRT. Holly molly, she's still there!


It doesn't matter when is her last day of service in SMRT. Ah Saw can't wait and is already pursuing her personal interest before that - to blog like me. Not only that, she copied shared my blog motto - "to write from the heart." It's a bit annoying because that was the advice Siggi left for me. I may have to change my motto because Ah Saw don't really make me feel like her friend.


You see, bloggers make friends by commenting on one another's blog. It is a protocol. The latest blogger who left a comment on my blog is Limpeh Is Foreign Talent aka LIFT. There, I have a new friend. That's how it works. I left a comment on Ah Saw's blog on her grand opening when she got the prostitute press to advertise her blog. Till today, my comment was not approved. In its place were some praises about her management skills lah, comments about she shouldn't be blame lah, she did her job well lah. Is she a PAP politician or what? Only hear the good things (and delete the rest). Birds of the same feather.


Wouldn't it be nice if Ah Saw gets her friend Ho Ching to pursue her personal interest too. I presume they may share the same kind of personal interest. I'll be eager to leave her first blog comment if she does so. It will be a good day for Singapore.


Ah Saw's first post in her blog was entitled "Looking back". I wondered what she was reflecting on. Perhaps she could remember her grand promise in during her first company Dinner 'N' Dance as SMRT CEO, that she would not retrench any staff. What followed after were retrenchment of yardmasters at their Bishan, Changi and Ulu Pandan depots as well as maintenance staff across the board. 


I wonder if Saw looked back to recall her promise.


I wonder if Saw could recall the tears of the retrenched staff and their pleads to have their services retained by accepting a pay cut.


I wonder if Saw could see blood on her dollars from the fat bonuses she received by ruthlessly maximising profits while she buried the hopes of staff shown the door.


Obviously not. Her first blog post reminded me of her foreword in the annual report sent to my house each year. Her future blog posts will be about how she spearheaded glorious initiates such as the Dhoby Ghaut Xchange. How she fought LTA for the company's interests and how she led SMRT to hold the fort as commuters grew exponentially in numbers over the years. You know, the grand story kind.


I don't normally write about someone's blog because I like to mind my own business. If my memory serves me right, this is the first time I do that. Can someone tell her I dedicated a post just for her? Maybe Ah Saw will appreciate me better after reading this and add my blog link in her blog. 


I am looking forward.

    Snails leave slime trails behind, wherever they may go.
    But they're also good as escargots.
