It is nice that such arrangement are made…

A short while ago Grab issued a statement providing an update on my role at the company. I’ve appended it below for your reference.

I informed the PAP of my possible employment and nature of the role at Grab in mid 2022, and then formally informed the PAP in September 2022 about my appointment. They did not object.

Following the recent public attention, Grab and I discussed and agreed that it would be best for me to move into a role that did not involve any government relations in Singapore.

I understand and have long come to accept the public scrutiny that comes with being an MP. But I would never want it to hinder my ability to serve my constituents well as MP, or to do my job at Grab effectively. And this would be the case if my intentions and actions in the future are always called into doubt, whether justified or not.

Hence, I would like to share that I’m moving into a new role as Director (Corporate Development) to do corporate development work. It’s a role that is aligned to my career interest and will also tap on my past experiences in consulting and corporate strategy. My reason for joining Grab holds firm, to support its social mission of creating economic empowerment for everyone, and I look forward to playing my part.

Serving MacPherson over the past 12 years has been extremely meaningful, and being the voice of my residents, finding ways to improve their lives, and serving Singapore will always, always be my top priority.

To ensure that I can always contribute constructively in Parliament, I also need to challenge myself to grow, and keep pace with developments. Hence I saw the opportunity to return to the private sector as a way to broaden my horizons and to hone new skills. I looked forward to my role at Grab as an opportunity to grow and contribute to society.

To my friends, residents and fellow Grabbers who have been so supportive, a great big thank you! As always, I will focus on doing what I need to do, focus on serving to my best ability, and with integrity and sincerity.

Seriously many people raise the eyebrow when Tin Pei Ling join Grab?

While many says that there is a conflict of interest, I wonder what is really conflict of interest?

Being a lecturer, professor can be conflict of interest as you can teach your students what you wish to teach in a school.

Begin a MD, VP, CEO can be conflict of interest as you can also craft policies which is beneficial if you know things beforehand.

What am I trying to say? I can only say it is all about being professional and impartial. If you can’t, every job is a conflict of interest.

If you says that MP should be full time and not part time. Well bring it up into the parliament and work on it! If the parliament agrees that all MP should be full time, so be it!

Sylvia Lim and the WP leaders were fully aware of conflicts of interest but allowed it to persist for 3 years : Appeal court Amidst the Court of Appeal’s lengthy and comprehensive judgement on the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC) case today (Nov 9) is this irrefutable truth: the Workers’ Par...

With the recent halt of fresh chicken from Malaysia, I came across a post recently indicating that a whole chicken cost $72.27 now.

It turns out that they are sold by Swiss Butchery at one of the FP Finest stores. It is not an ordinary chicken but Organic Kampung Chicken. At 3.2kg, likely two chicken or one super large chicken.

So it is not because due to the recent shortage of chicken that cause this price to raise.😂

Sometimes timing and pictures without explaination can be deceiving… 🤣

Haha… I remember that.

A 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧'𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐬, if you can remember everything they have ever said in Parliament during different sittings.

"Spend more" when they call on the government to give more good things.

"Spend less" when the government has to raise revenue for increased spending.
