The culture of Singapore companies is very bad. Compared that to those of Israel, where it is so much more liberal. In one of the ex-companies I worked in, the Israelis give their views freely, regardless of their rank. No one will put them down for giving a contrarian view, neither will grudge be taken for having a view that is different from your boss.

Look at Singapore companies. People tend to agree with their bosses and dare not voice out their opposition, for fear that they will face repercussion. You put Einstein here also no use, because he may give seemingly ridiculous ideas and get shot down for doing so. The end result is he will never give his truthful opinion again.

Stat Boards and GLCs promote only "Yes Men". There is no way they can hire real talent nor anyone with potential.

Creativity is stifled and power to show leadership skills is fried to become the approved Standard SOP.
