Why would talented people want to work for untalented bosses, especially parachuted bosses.

And why would ordinary company reject own locals for a job when there is no training to be future talent?

There is a risk-averse culture in the SAF owing to the scrutiny that decisions are under in a rigid hierarchical system, while there is more of a risk management culture in the private sector. This why SAF officers are unable to apply and adapt the unique skills they learnt in the army into a different environment. Senior military officers may know how to manage large resources and deploy budgets. However, they do not have the same grasp of the profit motive. This is why I cannot understand the reason that so-called "global searches" for a CEO for SMRT never go beyond our army camps.

This is the standard excuse by the SG govt to commit "economic genocide" of the local workforce through their "open leg" policy.

This is the consequences of phasing out local in favor of foreigner for decades. Local talent of course will be extinct. Not that local dun have talent it is the doing of the leadership in place in various authority and organizations ministry .
Before many will praise these leadership very good. When one day they are left to fend for themselves and living in a strange land, wonder they still can enjoying what they have endorsing.
