Who's who in the DBS board of directors?Yet they can "wayang",saying NTUC was not consulted on this!What if this bank is just a "kuching kurak",Am very sure they will sure "hantam bertuh" the management for doing so.But DBS...? one of the major bank in SGP.As if the management do not know how to respect our NTUC?or was given the "go-ahead"," test the water" kind of instuction?Now this has happened,what can or will the NTUC can or will do about the matter or just brush it off as another "commercial decision" and nothing can be done? Shall want to see what percussions this can or will bring to our management and workers union industrial relations?For sure DBS had already set the ball-rolling,more will follow suit,the ones that will suffer are the workers and their families.Would like to see how and what NTUC can and will do about this.

In an advertisement in the Straits Times, they said "At DBS, we believe the greatest gift this season comes from the heart."
Yet DBS is heartless. It is all BS.

DBS can minimize the number of employees they fire by dismissing higher-paid traders and bankers aka Citigroup . . . .
