SMRT

[butcher]

Was reading all the news with regards to SMRT on CNA today, realised the following:-

SMRT CEO, Desmond Kuek - Former Chief of Defence Force ("CDF")
LTA CEO, Chew Mun Leong - Former Chief of Navy ("CNV")
Minister for Transport, Lui Tuck Yew - Former Chief of Navy ("CNV")

I think Lui Tuck Yew passed the CNV baton to Ronnie Tay (who should be at another stat board, last heard MDA or what) who then passed the CNV baton to Chew Mun Leong.

If in armed forces, whose position higher and have bigger say?

A lot scholars after career in armed forces joined the GLCs or stat boards and into politics.

Although they are scholars, I think head hunting a Transport or Logistics officer to head the transport ministry and SMRT will be a better choice as they have the necessary background.
