It's really sad that people externally would not see this if they have the perception that IMDA's work accounts for nothing and that people in the org are deemed unfit for any other role outside of IMDA. Having joined this cursed place for a few months now I can say for sure that it's unlike any challenge that I've faced in my career. The work is tough, the processes are warped, managing the people even harder. If anything, the people who manage the survive this place are mentally tough people, who have either decided to sacrifice their personal life for this place or just have no life but are willing to clock in the hours and enslave themselves to work. In short, the survivors here, disregarding the cruisers but to the people who have truly worked hard, are incredibly resilient and respectable. We should still give credit for the quiet ones who have tolerated this madness.

As for LCH, as much as he is unpredictable and harsh is his ways sometimes, you've to admit, his intellect isn't for everyone,and often he has a point. Not sure if he's too smart for his own good or if people like myself are just finding it hard to match up to his level of quick thinking.
The most tragic part is those survivors whom you respect can't find another job outside IMDA, so they're stuck there as high class admin.

Having worked at this cursed place for a few years, I can say for sure that it's unlike the pre LCH era where a collegial atmosphere and competent leaders existed.

As for LCH, he is just a dud. Quick thinking doesn't equate to smart thinking.
