Bangkok Post, Thailand, Insider Column.
Nov. 8--CEO DEBATE TAKES A FUNNY TWIST: Grumbling continues in some corners of Thai Rak Thai about the Supreme Leader's vaunted CEO style. Recently it was the turn of Adisorn Piangkate, a member of PM ThakShin's advisory board (chaired by Dino-Snoh), to throw cold water on the plan to create so-called CEO governors.
If a provincial governor was given a lot of authority, a good one would be able to run his province effectively, Mr Adisorn said. But given the wide disparity among the talents of the 76 people holding the jobs, he reckons the chances are good that some CEO governors would end up as LEO governors.
Mr Adisorn's clever reference was to a memorable beer commercial a few years back. The main figure was purportedly a governor who had been invited to a wedding party to toast the bride and groom. He was enjoying his Leo beer so much, he continued to make boisterous toasts from the stage, unaware that all the guests had left.
Well, our honourable governors were outraged at the attack on their dignity, if not their ability to hold their booze. Boon Rawd Brewery insisted it had meant no offence, and everyone had a good laugh.
Not wishing to reopen old wounds, Mr Adisorn also volunteered that LEO could also stand for Lazy Executive Officer.
REALITY BITES: You know times are tough when the people who are paid to tell us how tough times are start receiving pink slips. Economists at international banks in Singapore are the latest people heading for the unemployment line.
At least six number-crunchers from the likes of SG Securities, Nomura Asia and WestLB have lost their jobs in the post-Sept 11 fallout, and more cuts are expected in the months ahead.
