yes, i' ve also heard about this. but the country or organisation is willing to forgo that for the betterment of the country/organisation. maybe in an MNC where there' s 360 deg feedback he will not be able to stay long?

No doubt about it, he was a very successful public servant.  There is another aspect of him that stands out with people who I' ve interacted with him. He has such a big ego that it flawed his character to the point of being arrogant, impatient and worst still disrespectful. In casual interactions, his taunting can be very hurtful and lacked class. In short, very childish. This is something he should be aware of and make amends before time runs out.

pretty sure along with the departure of PY, those who are with him on his side would slowly exit or be shown the door... a new regime...

without PY there would have been no EDB.... slowly, we are losing the old guards..granted they have their own views.. PY has no concern as he still holds directorship with so many other companies..

CDL shares surge over 6% after Philip Yeo exits board
He has previously backed chairman Kwek Leng Beng in his boardroom battle against his son, chief executive officer Sherman Kwek
 
[SINGAPORE] Shares of City Development Limited (CDL) : C09 +5.92% rose more than 6 per cent on Wednesday (Jul 16), after the property conglomerate said on Tuesday evening that Philip Yeo will be retiring.
 
Yeo had served on CDL&rsquo s board for 16 years since May 2009, and will retire from his position as a non-independent non-executive director on Jul 31. He had backed executive chairman Kwek Leng Beng in his boardroom battle against his son, chief executive officer Sherman Kwek, earlier this year.
 
As at 9.01 am, the group&rsquo s shares were up 4.1 per cent at S$5.80, before hitting an intra-day high of S$5.95 by 9.41 am, up 6.8 per cent.
 
The price dipped to S$5.88 as at 9.50 am, before rising to trade 6.5 per cent or S$0.36 higher at S$5.93 as at 2.13 pm, after 7.2 million securities changed hands.
 
The departure of Yeo comes three months after CDL&rsquo s annual general meeting (AGM), when he vocally rallied shareholders against &ldquo bullying&rdquo by majority directors. 
 
He had openly urged shareholders at the AGM to reject the re-election of four directors, comprising two new appointees Jennifer Young and Wong Su Yen, and two independents Daniel Desbaillets and Wong Ai Ai.
 
Yeo&rsquo s objections centred on governance lapses, notably that Young and Wong Su Yen&rsquo s appointments on Feb 7 bypassed the nominating committee &ndash a key point in the elder Kwek&rsquo s original lawsuit against CEO Sherman Kwek, which erupted on Feb 26.
 
The CDL feud began to subside after a major turning point on Mar 4, when the property giant announced the &ldquo irrevocable resignation&rdquo of Catherine Wu as an unpaid independent adviser to CDL&rsquo s hotel arm, Millennium & Copthorne Hotels. Wu&rsquo s long relationship with Kwek Leng Beng had caused the rift within the CDL group.
 
Yeo, 78, was the former executive chairman and subsequently executive co-chairman of Economic Development Board between 1986 and 2006. He was also formerly a special adviser for economic development in the Prime Minister&rsquo s Office from 2007 to 2011. After exiting CDL&rsquo s board, Yeo will remain on the board of 20 other companies, including IndoFood Agri Resources, QAF and Sunway.

With due respect to all, Mr Philip Yeo is a man with conviction and principle. He did what he opened said at the last AGM.  With his years of experience dealing with certain top world leaders he could have provided invaluable insights of risks and factors affecting our world. He was not the stereotype civil servant.  The new IDs could hardly hold their candles.  A rare opportunity missed

Whatever the reason.. the reason, the majority had spoken. Removing Phillip was the right move. Clearly he is more than worthless - he is a liability ! With him removed CDL will be removed of the burden. Well done Sherman for your master stroke!!?
