Saddened by your sudden decision

Dear Kin Lian

I am SADDENED by your sudden decision to leave NTUC iNCOME.

The way it unfolded was not nice at all and was not done in good taste. From the public perception it wasn't good and fair treatment of someone who has done a lot for Singapore through NTUC INCOME and for people like us, poor motorists and life insurance policy holders, who have been exploited by other insurance companies to say the least.

But there is a lesson in life. People, organisations and Singapore society quickly and conveniently forget what you have done for them and quickly move on. In no time, you are history forgotten and irrelevant, if you no longer serve their purpose.

And there will be fair weathered friends surfacing that you did not realise exist.

I want to stand up for you. I sincerely hope that you will carve out another icon or simply retire and enjoy your life as you wish.

Singapore needs more people like you who can stand up. Far to many Singapore CEOs, esp in certain secured job areas, are apple polishing and weak and have no passion nor commitment.

All the best
