To top management of IS Div (esp to Peter Chan & SH Ng)
I’m 100% agreed with ArrograntDisposal’s comments and statement. In fact that is the truth.
I am an user for TMG co, I will retire soon but I have seen so much changes in IS Div. Let me recalled what have happened to IS Div before and after.
During 1980 & 90, Systems (at that time not yet named IS Div) under leading Mr. HT Sim, users and Systems staffs are happy with his leadership. Tough on and off there were staffs resigned but they left happily.
During 1990 after Mr. Sim resigned Peter Chan was promoted and took over Systems, a lot of hanky panky things happened. Came office late, went back early, dealing his personal business in office hour. Many projects were delayed, failed and program full of error. That is reason Toray Japan has sent Mr. Shimano to Systems since 2004……..Since then a lot of revolution has been done. And Systems has been named as IS Div. After Shimano went back the situation was not improved but back to Peter’s style of management. Many capable staffs resigned……….and it continues happened till today.
We all users fully aware what had happened because most of unhappy staffs who has resigned would expressed their unhappiness to us. The impact was so great that after IS staffs resigned, the service may not been delivered as good as compare to original. That is company loss.
I still remembered many years ago there was a lady staff came to my office and cried due to unfair treatment from management. After a while she has resigned. I feel so sad as I have observed and monitored majority IS staffs were resigned unwillingness.
To HR, they may not know what is the true story because those who have resigned they would said they got better offer but the real fact they have been treated unfair. I can feel their disappointment, sad, sorrow ………but I’m not able to help.
Therefore I am agreed with Arrogant Disposal that this is not a story but this is the real fact. This is not a black mail but sincere comments so that Toray Management can do something especially HR department has not doing anything at all with this matter.
Tough I am just an ordinary user but I do believe:
A good leader must not simply shouting to others just because of he or she has done mistake.
A good leader must not simply shout to others without investigate.
A good leader must not insult others in front of his or her staffs.
A good leader must not insult others in front of vendors.
A good leader must guide instead of just shout.
A good leader must investigate first before blame others.
A good leader must protect or guide his subordinate instead of threatening.
The high turnover rate has reflected something wrong in management. It’s not just a pay matter, it better to leave this issue to HR to find out more.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.''
We have policy and procedure but IS seems to be enforced selectively. Double standard, bias and unjust. Look at the whole episode of PC obsolete project, so messy…..so much complain, so many standards……
Dear MD, Directors & Managers,
The consequences for not doing the right thing at this stage may be so great that it overwhelms whatever gains this temporary stewardship of IS Div brings. We all as users do believe Judgment day eventually comes for us all and do bring good life for IS Div.
I salute those people who are brave enough to voice up without fear and fair. At the end they just hope the IS Div can be improved .

I think this lace is sinking. I happen to read an articles in spore's newspaers dated 6th July 2009
Condo project halted after carpark sinks
A CASE of sinking land has put the brakes on a condominium construction project in Penang.
After the gates and a stretch of road in front of the Gurney Park condominium sank 1.2m, the state's municipal council ordered all construction work on the nearby Gurney Paragon condominium to be stopped.
Mr Tan Cheng Hui, president of the Penang Municipal Council, said the council has ordered Hunza Properties, Gurney Park's developer, to stop all work on the 43-storey project on Kelawei Road, near state capital Georgetown.
The road next to Gurney Park's multi-storey carpark was cordoned off after it sank and cracked at about 8pm on Thursday.
Cracks
The cracks are estimated to be 1.2m deep and more than 9m long.
Mr Tan told Bernama that the developer should rectify the problem and come up with a comprehensive report on the condition of the Gurney Park.
He said on Friday: 'They will also have to provide reasons and give a letter of guarantee that the building is safe.
'Until all rectification works are done, the developer and contractor cannot continue with the building project.'
He said he had received many reports from residents that construction work was carried out late into the night.
Penang state local government and traffic management committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow urged the council to tell the developer and contractors to monitor the situation over the next few days for fear it might worsen.
He urged residents not to park their vehicles in or around the affected area for the time being.
Hunza group executive chairman Khor Teng Tong said his company would assume full responsibility and added that its consultants have been told to handle the issue.
When completed, Gurney Paragon's East and West Towers will comprise two 43-storey buildings, with 240 units of service apartments, as well as a commercial podium and two basement parking facilities.
MrKhor told The Star: 'We have identified the cause. The sheet piles that were used by the basement contractor to temporarily hold up the sides of the excavation gave way, which led to the subsidence of the ground behind the sheet piles including the driveway of Gurney Park.'
He said they would consult with experts on the safety and stability of the ground to determine if the project could continue.
Hunza's engineer, Mr Tong Veng Wye, said an inspection showed Gurney Park buildings, including the multi-storey carpark next to the driveway, were in no danger.
He said: 'We've inspected the main pillars and there is no tilting or serious cracks.
'Another fortunate thing is that Gurney Park has basement carparks and that means its foundation is more sturdy and the incident did not affect it.'
He said remedial works started on Thursday night, soon after the cracks were discovered, and the inspection report would be ready by Monday.
MrKhor said: 'Remedial works are not expected to last longer than 10 days as work will be carried out round the clock.'
One of Gurney Park's nearly 1,000 residents, Mr Stephen Abbott, 55, said he saw workers using sand to cover up the cracks and was worried that the cracks and sunken road might cause more cracks.

Bro speechless,site-survey and all others open minded members,
While we're saying this I am imagining these poor chaps' managers hiding under a table somewhere. Very government like isn't it?
The above reason caused the the entire thing to fail miserably. This reason alone led to others, like the failure to explain convincingly and clearly.
Since they are already a lousy management, obvious they cannot make any commitments or any decisions, so what is the point of that? Might as well doing their routine jobs as usual, with same attitude, called for daily meeting ( such a waste of time and company money actually !! )and keep passing the buck around until it smells of rotting flesh.
This is is our honest opinion on how things transpired. Thank you for reading and any objective input is very much welcomed.We're more comfortable sitting here at our leisure time writing about these issues.
Nevertheless, lets pause for a moment and try to think, if we're sharing it here openly and the fact that Toray management had sent a special team investigate did not amount to anything...hmmmm ( Pin drop silence?)
It's not too late, if they did had the courtesy, we would have expressed our gratitude very openly here.
