Singapore — Almost 10,000 people have taken umbrage at SPH CEO Ng Yat Chung’s “boorish behaviour” and have signed a petition calling for his dismissal.
Though Mr Ng apologised over the weekend , netizens had already started a petition on May 7 titled “Singaporeans take umbrage at SPH CEO’s boorish behaviour, demand his sacking”.- Advertisement - It adds: “Such boorish and sneaky behaviour is unbecoming of a CEO, let alone the CEO of the publisher of Singapore’s dailies.“Notably, Neptune Orient Lines went bankrupt when Ng was CEO. This is quite a feat considering Singapore has one of the finest natural harbours in the world”, the petition added.A reporter from Mediacorp asked if the SPH restructuring would result in a “pivot to emphasise editorial integrity, for example, ahead of advertiser interests”.
He added: “The fact that you dare to question an SPH title for, in your words, conceding to advertisers, I take umbrage at that comment. Because I don’t believe that even where you come from, you do not concede to the needs of advertisers”.
