Singapore aims to have a trusted world class media by having ex-PAP members lead the new media trust.?

How do we ensure that the media is not biased to blindly support govt policies?

It is true that SPH and Media Corp will always be under Ruling Party control. No negative comments on the ruling party is allowed.

BBC is a govt media company not a Labor or Conservative party controlled company.

Does Malaysa ruling party has its own media company like SPH with ex-Umno members in control?

Does TW or Japan have such a control?

Domination of main stream media and shutdowning  alternative media like TOC is not the best way to bring diversity, innovation, new ideas and causes society to be monolithic in the long run.

His salary should be at least 1 millions per year.

There is no need for him to make profit.

This is the easy CEO job with no target for profit

Sucking leeches.

Long suffering and powerless minority shareholders, especially the retirees and seniors, have to "donate" to this new media with no recourses.

All along SG a bit communist in the sense will try all means to fix opposition.
WP still around partly " in line with PAP " I shall wait hope Dr Chee Or Lim T go in but seem people still hypocrites, daily complain but end of the day go vote this new pap who is unlike the old one lead by LKY at least he do contribute a lot beside trying to fix opposition.

I mean you wanna fix opposition ? at least show why you are capable first thus people at least no much things to comment you.
During LKY times also a lot opposite him, play " dirty " etc once elected but as mention he show what he is capable to make SG better unlike the current one cannot make it still wanna fix others.

When he was a minister, his salary is in the millions per year.  Therefore in just a couple of years, he will be able to purchase a landed property.  Also, as a MP he is entitled to an allowance of $16K per month.....eat cannot finish.. Rotfl

I don't need he's in it for the money. But I've to agree with him that this is a very difficult assignment. It'll be interesting to see if he can manage it well.

Thought that previous guy general was so capable appointed to look after NOL then SPH, so why is there a need for an engineer to fix it?

The status of a CEO is measured by the profit he can contribute to the company. If like NOL, the CEO are forced to resign and the company is brought by another company....It just shows how a CEO can sink a ship...... crying

It is worth a try, anyway the current Minister of health is not doing a good job, and may require KBW's expertise to nip the problem in the bud.. Clapping
