I read from somewhere that poly lecturers kpi is not judged by student performances. If so, how are the lecturers kpi based upon?

student feedback, student performance, special achievements and most importantly whether your boss likes you and whether he's like by his boss.

Just wondering, can full time lecturer have their own related business outside..for example a material engineering lecturer doing a supply chain business..or IT lecturer having a consultation company etc..

Can....., why not?

Whatever business is none of their business.

Our civil servants are holding non-exec or some permanent position in listed or MNC, as long there is no conflict of interest.

thats a good idea..they can even hire their own students upon graduation..i guess the poly wont mind that..haha

Can, but you need to declare your business openly. They don't like hidden stuff, due to anti corruption practise. I used to be a director of a pte co. while being a lecturer. Now company fold liao. Pay in poly is good enuf for decent life without stress....haha

But can one own shares in private companies without declaring? Owning shares is different from being a director.

I'm quite sure they don't need you do declare share ownership in _public_ listed companies, but what about in private companies like those "Ah John Pte Ltd"?

If u r a minor shareholder, say 1000 lot, no need, but if u r a substantial shareholder, say 10%, furthermore company not listed, then I think need

Er... I think you meant 1 lot not 1000 lot.

1000 lot is 1,000,000 shares?

Correct me if I am wrong if policies have changed. It doesnt matter how small the amount. As long as you dabble in shares you are to declare that in your annual declaration. Even gifts you get as a teacher (>certain amt, no sure what is the limit now) say during teacher's day also have to be declared.

Small Amt of share no need lah, I trade in share often, nvr declare. Gifts need to surrender, then each year, each dept will do lucky draw to distribute gift. Perishable gift like moon cake, cakes, biscuit no need lah, just share with collegue, AG cannot audit it anyway, hoW they know what u eat rite?
