Encik Takes Umbrage

[@mattongbp]

I have been watching this over 5x,..."Walk some more" still caught me laughing out loud.

[@KSeet]

At least LG Ng finally did something good. He taught us all a new word! Now Singapore will prosper and be united once again! Woo hoo!

[@googlgfacef218]

Really pity Ng Yat Chung. When he was young, he studied hard and has a vision in life. Shortly after JC, he penned down a military career as his family wasnt well to do and couldnt afford university education. Made it to the rank of colonel and then general, but had to leave the service because he couldnt stay in combat due to weight issues. Post military career saw him posted to Neptune Orient Lines as CEO. NOL let him down as it was slow to conform to reality and changes. Sent to SPH after NOL was sold off. But again, same, SPH was slow to react to changes with times. As you guys can see, he was hardworking, wanted to be in a dynamic organisation and make a difference. But in return, everyone failed him. Mr Ng Yat Chung, we feel you and we know you are more capable of greater things in life. But for you to lose your cool and run your mouth in such a way is very unbecoming. Now, get the fcuk out of here already!

Some ex generals really jiak liao bee. Still dare to take umbrage when others are doing their job. But this Encik, i like cos he always does his work well and succeeds in entertaining us as well.

[@donhuang9855]

And I always thought that all "Enciks" behave like mad dogs; they always bark whenever soldiers (low ranking ones) are within his sight.

[@joeyang1170]

Nice one Mr Brown. Best joke ever😂😂😂

Mr Brown, you already have a cap with Encik on it? So handy. Don't worry, I won't take hmm-brij! So funny, thank you Mr Brown for this. I needed this.

[@rokusaburo6257]

lol well done, even though it's a joke, it portrays that guy's behavior perfectly.

We should all take umbrage that General Ng is getting paid millions to basically run two Temasek companies into the ground. What were Temasek’s criteria for appointing CEOs?

WOI or WOII...during the British time, Enchik wears 'a crown' on the left wrist. Most powerful at 'the parade square'.

[@donhuang9855]

During my time in the NS, most Encik would bark like this: "Well, you heard the Man !!! All of you, CBs, run 20 laps round the parade square. And who's that SOB who asked that "indecent" question? The next time you open your CB mouth again, you will report to my bunk for some extra activities."

[@christwg07]

He became the centre of attraction now. Forget covid but SPH CEO Umbrage . During his tenure in NOL, $1.5billon losses accumulated and was sold to France CMA CGM. Under CGM, NOL made profits of $26million. Wrong person for the CEO in SPH.

[@smiley061272]

Why was he sent to SPH? That is the key quesiton

[@christwg07]

@@smiley061272 SPH Chairman was ex PAP MP during LKY time. It’s Govt propaganda, to have scholars sitting on top positions in MNCs. CEO Umbrage was a scholar with SAF. Amazon SG director is Ex Navy officer-Henry Low. This arrangement started from LKY time and continues till now. These Blokes are lucky in career.

From umbrage to umbro...of the bagbacker's brand of Enchik in the Parade Square..drop 20!

[@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

LOW STANDARD CEO! Cannot even handle hard but FAIR questions without being offended. All these ex military high ranking officers thinks they could bring their arrogance into the real world. The HEAVY price he’ll pay is continue shareholders and consumers will pull out their investments and boycott whichever company he goes to.

[@amubi]

In military there is only top-down approach to handling all matters and no question ask on regime leadership

[@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

@Am King I suspect such culture is mostly evident in Asian countries especially Singapore where the top thinks they are smarter and Better than those below which is usually not the case. Military combatants in the west have a bottom up approach since the Ones on the ground fighting are the Men and they’ll know Better.

Imagine being sent to war by this general. I was in the army when this guy was the chief of army. Had a war broken out, that would actually have been my fate!

[@teeteetuu94]

If his attitude was the same back then, no doubt there'd be a few who have bullets reserved for him first, before even letting the enemies have it.

Paper general lead an lose $ for a company. Do not want to take accountabilty. Dont dare to man up and take umbrage. NOL turn profitable after it was sold. What does it say?

[@ihs51]

So his umbrage in fact helped him in not responding to the most crucial question who should take the responsibility if the company goes downunder.

[@oasislin4587]

All these while, these mindef retirees have been transferred into various ministries (thanks to Ah Kong), screwing up the environment with toxic bureaucracy and ranks. They have neither the talents nor the professional corporate nuance running the organisation but orders and weight throwing like emperor. Only eunuchs' survive under their helms. And these Emperors survive well only because they are the yes man to PAP despite their failure in bringing the organisations forward. Scholars by merit of only good paper qualifications really cannot make it.....yet drawing good $$$ from our tax payers' money.

That self professed "not gentleman", when asked what happened if they don't get the approval in the EGM (which by any standard is a reasonable contingency to plan for or at least something which ought to have been thought through), he said he won't answer that hypothetical. Fortunately, the Chairman stepped in and provided an answer.

[@paulinetan781]

if its hypothetical, then why need EGM for shareholder's approval to begin with? Just go ahead la

[@icyboy771z]

First time I heard of Umbrage.

[@donhuang9855]

LG NG has to learn to talk in official civil servant language (the YES and NO answers, aka LPPL) instead of his usual regimental style of "not compulsory but expected" BS like expecting the Press to ask him some softball questions. The Press was asking from the Umbrella of Free Press (free to press difficult questions) while LG NG was still under the illusion that his Umbilical cord is still attached to the military.

Debate cannot degenerate into a free-for-all where no distinction is made between the senior and junior party, or what the Hokkiens describe as "boh tua, boh suay".
