Are fewer MPs holding company directorships now? CHEO W XIN YI
SINGAPORE Email queries to 52 backbenchers, including the six elected Opposition MPs, found that 16 hold such positions. In 2005, 26 were directors in public listed companies alone, a survey by Latest records on the Singapore Exchange’s web portal and the MediaCorp’s survey comes after Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong issued his rules of prudence letter two weeks ago to new and existing People’s Action Party MPs. In it, he had advised them to conduct such business activities creditably. And while 19 MPs did not reply or declined comment for this story, those who did shared the kind of consideration that has gone into their decisions on directorships. For half of them, these are roles they assume simply by virtue of where they work. Joo Chiat MP Charles Chong, for instance, is a director in two joint ventures under his employer SIA Engineering, while Jurong Group Representation Constituency MP David Ong is the business owner and managing director of RedDot Publishing. Meanwhile, more than half of those with no directorships are first-term PAP MPs. Several new MPs, including lawyer Edwin Tong and unionist Zainal Sapari, said their current priority is their constituents, although they might make exceptions for directorships on non-profit organisations. West Coast GRC MP Foo Mee Har, who heads Standard Chartered Bank’s priority and international banking, told MediaCorp she made a “personal decision” to step down from a board position before the polls to dedicate her time to understanding her constituency and grassroots organisations. For her GRC colleague Arthur Fong, corporate considerations came into play: The Credit Suisse banker and three-term MP, who has held no directorship for the past 10 years, said he made the choice as companies may potentially have investment banking relationships with his employer. Offering a different view, though, was Pasir-Ris Punggol GRC MP Gan Thiam Poh, whose employer DBS Bank had to approve his directorship at public-listed Ouhua Energy Holdings even before he entered politics. While he said his foremost priority is his constituency, Mr Gan said he was open to directorships that would offer him the exposure and skills to help him “effectively serve the residents”. [# lower cost of living for residents by securing SPECIAL LOWEST PRICES for his CONSTITUENCY ? ? ? ? #] But the days when some backbenchers held numerous listed directorships seem to be over. At the moment, Potong Pasir MP Sitoh Yih Pin holds the highest number, six, followed by Ang Mo Kio GRC MP Yeo Guat Kwang with five and Marine Parade GRC MP Seah Kian Peng with two. In the past, former PAP MPs such as Messrs Wang Kai Yuen and Ong Kian Min held as many as 11 directorships in listed companies during their political tenure. To corporate governance observer Mak Yuen Teen, who has spoken publicly against excessive listed directorships by MPsthrough”., it seems that “PM’s words are filtering The National University of Singapore Business School associate professor noted that MPs who held several listed directorships have retired in the last two elections: “I hope it was (part of PM’s consideration for renewal).” But Singapore Management University associate professor of finance Annie Koh offered another reason for the smaller scale of directorships now: The youth and non-exposure of newer MPs, many of whom were also from the public sector and labour movement. “You can’t be invited to any board if you haven’t had a level of experience in order to advise companies accordingly ... If you’re young, the likelihood of you being asked to be a director is less high,” said Assoc Prof Koh, who is also SMU’s dean of executive and professional education. Still, given some companies’ “misconceived notion” that having MPs on board “can open doors”, she expects offers to come in for the new MPs over time. “But everyone is under watch these days with the power of media and social media ... People are even more conscious (especially) if there’s a chance that anything might lead to a misinterpretation,” she said. — It appears that fewer Members of Parliament are holding company directorships now compared to in the past.The Business Times had found.Bloomberg’s database show that only five elected MPs now are directors in listed companies. |

MP Yeo Guat Kwang sees his roles as ‘affiliations’ SINGAPORE — Many are also “episodic” in nature, he told MediaCorp — so much so that he had asked his personal assistant to update his CV. As of yesterday, it lists 54 positions. While netizens had been chattering over his multiple hats, Mr Yeo clarified that he does not receive remuneration for those roles except for company directorships. He said the appointments are platforms for him to serve. As president of the Consumers Association of Singapore, for instance, he was invited to advisory positions in trade associations. Chua Chu Kang GRC MP Zaqy Mohamed, who holds seven other unpaid positions, including those in government parliamentary committees and unions, told MediaCorp: “Once you’re the Government of the day, you do have to take on other responsibilities as opposed to being a grassroots MP ... That’s why you’re there to do policy and advise with your expertise.” Still, he acknowledged that certain appointments did take up time and he has scaled down his involvement. Mr Yeo noted that meetings for some advisory appointments are usually held once a year. “The good thing is that now we’re all wired and more productive. For many of these committees, we just need to give our views through email ... and from then, see other members’ perspectives.”

Will Dr Tony Tan run for President? Like all Singaporeans, I am watching the political climate closely. It is clear that the next President of Singapore will hold office during a period of enormous change. In such times, my view is that, it is more important than ever to have a President with a steady hand and a deep understanding of the complexities behind each decision the President may have to make. |

Salary panel seeks public feedback Te o Xuanwei
SINGAPORE time last Saturday, the committee tasked with reviewing the salaries of the Republic’s political leaders has distilled the slew of ideas it recieved from various channels. These include paying salaries comparable to those of leaders in developed nations and paying a person more only after he has proven himself. Other suggestions that the committee will be considering: Have indicators such as median salaries, income gap levels and growth, as well as use private sector best practices, but factor in the calling for public service. And the committee is calling for more ideas with the assurance that it “will consider every one of them for their suitability and appropriateness”, as committee chairman Gerard Ee put it. In a press release, Mr Ee said that the public can send in additional ideas — via email or by post — by June 20. He added: “We would appreciate it if contributors not flame, even though we fully understand the need to vent.” Noting that Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has not given the committee a timeline to deliver its recommendations, Mr Ee reiterated that the eight-member team wanted to “get down to work as soon as possible”. Mr Ee said that the ideas which the committee has compiled were culled from mainstream and online media, email and letters. The committee has also written to Members of Parliament to seek their input. Mr Ee also set out the approach the review committee will take. The appropriate pay package — inclusive of bonuses, pensions and benefits — will be determined from a human resource perspective, looking at the individual grade, job size, scale and impact of the work. The team will also work with human resource experts to “ensure that there is rigour in the analysis”, he added. This, said Mr Ee, would answer one of two questions the committee intends to find answers to: “What fair compensation would accord due recognition for the contributions of our political office holders?” Are they emplOyEEs ? ? ? ? they vOluntarily undertOOk the mIssIOn tO sErvE the peOple of the natIOn ? ? ? ?

Called " The Great Seducer" and no stranger to infidelity, he previously apologized for an extramarital affair with a subordinate. Now, he's accused of sexually assaulting and attempting to rape a New York hotel maid. He has resigned his post at the IMF. |

Arnie, Arnie... The Terminator turned California 'Governator' (now former 'Governator') recently dropped a bombshell to his wife - telling her that he had fathered a lovechild with a household employee. How'd you think she'd react to that, Arnie? Arnold and his wife, Maria Shriver, are now separated and chances are... she won't be bahk. |

The billionaire Italian Prime Minister has been linked to many, many women. The latest scandal, and the one he is possibly the most in trouble for, involves a Moroccan nightclub dancer named Karima El Mahroug (a.k.a. " Ruby Heartstealer" ). He is accused of paying her for sex while she was below the age of 18. He's also accused of using his influence as Prime Minister to release her from police detention after she was arrested for theft. |
