lim swee say (pap) snubbed sim wong hoo

"When sim wong hoo had developed the 8 bit cound card, he came to NCB (National Computer Board, now known as iDA)to explain what he has done and why he needed $ 250K to market this at Comdex ( trade show in the U.S.) The CEO of NCB was Lim Swee Say (current Minister) and the Chairman was Tan Chin Nam (now Perm Sec of MoM).

"Sim Wong Hoo

He was an icon of my era.

I remembered the kind of excitement when we first had Creative Sound Blaster installed into our computers in RV computer room.

During my time, whenever we talked about successful entrepreneurship in Singapore, we would proudly mention Sim Wong Hoo.

However, it's not PAP's typical elites nor scholars, he was just a poly graduate.

His success wasn't founded upon Singapore's system, in fact he would have failed in Singapore's system if he didn't venture out to Silicon Valley. We wouldn't have the first Creative Sound Blaster made from SG ... err, not exactly, it was conceived and created in US by a true blue Singaporean who isn't considered as "Top Talent" by our Singapore system.

He would have become just another ordinary engineer working for some MNC in SG, taking a decent pay but Singapore would have lost a shining star.

Sim Wong Hoo wasn't just an Icon of my era but a Prime Example of what Went Wrong with our elitist system, by stucking out as a sore thumb of counter example to what PAP would want us to be

SWH should not have moved his base back to SG, a place where people who are "outlier" of the system, non conformists of PAP's system or just rebels, are all ostracized and thumbed down.

But that's history and he just loved his own country, regardless.

Goodbye Wong Hoo. You have inspired at least two generations of Singaporeans even without you knowing.

RIP."

Their definition of talent is those who are yes men and do whatever their bosses told them to do. However, true talents are usually the opposite.

That's why these JLBs greedy wannabe contrarians without any brains tried their best to block Binance and quietly yet blatantly invested heavily on FTX, which is an obvious scam, just because Binance do not need any investors to corrupt its excellence, so they buay song cannot have a part in it, so keep blocking Binance's licence application with MAS, but unfortunately, these JLBs buay kan, end up losing close to 400 million of taxpayers money gambling on FTX, which they considered it's their money and call themselves sovereign fund, but refuses to honor their obligations to the country as a sovereign fund, their fiduciary duties, the fund does nt belong to them, it belongs to the country and not to any political party, but of ocurse they pretend not to know this fact and choose to think it is a private equity fund, which it is definitely not!

Really shameless, arrogant, brainless, JLBs and stewpig!

Has any pap left their high paying jobs to start a successful business?

When Sim Wong Hoo and his team took the sound card to EDB then, nobody believed him.

And he has to bring this sound card to the US to look for investors, which he did and eventually went onto the stock exchange there with his new found company.

That’s when EDB realised what they have missed and eventually had to lure him back and gave him a piece of Jurong East plot of land to have his own company set up in the 90’s.

Another one is the guy who is selling the sand castle mould in east coast beach.

Our government back then didn’t really give much support to local entrepreneurs this was what being the story mentioned by those successful ones in their interview back then not sure about now.

SWH does not fit into the ruling party’s image of a talent then because he was not a U grad.

After he found success in the US, they then changed their tune and now every skool is a good skool Laughing

Don't support never mind inventor can try to find private VC.

Worse is you go to them for funding they steal your idea and destroy you using legal attrition means.

Will become cardboard collector or HC cleaner during old age. Their system of elitism is a grave mistake.

We need real meritocratic system.
Entrepreneurs are risk takers, those higher qualification holders will mostly hide in their comfort zone. Will not come out to set up own business.

The narrative by hardwarezone is wrong on facts. LSS was never the CEO of NCB. He was the GM. And later versions of bosses there are known as CE, never CEO.

Let this be very clear, and should never be a debate...PAP  is never a good judge of character. That is why people like Christopher Desouza, John Ong, Michael Palmer, Teh Cheang Wan all can sneaked in so easily. Even Yang Yin is a foot away from becoming an MP. What does OYKovid, JT, GFool, MZeeeeee, Keee Chiew have that Jamus, Periera, Gerald Giam.PS don’t have. The big difference is that the former served with their pockets, the latter with their hearts. To the members getting into PAP, becoming MP is seeking a job, with a fat salary. Serving the people is secondary,.

CHAOS & Cityhantam are 2 sick CCP mother-fcuker bastards, who support Islamic radical Simplemen, aka Imran, who has been belittling Chinese, juz because their mothers like farking Hamas dogs
