Indeed, and for us Australians, it is a different world up there in doing business.. it's a cultural thing, which needs to be understood and respected, it takes time.. lot's of time!
by wlee380, I give much credit to the QF engineering team led by CY for their extraordinary effort and patience in dealing with the highly bearucratic Changi Airport Corp and Changi Police, SIAEC and the rest.
Yeah, so much talent gets forgotten because of bureaucracy in many Asian countries. (lived S E Asia for seven years.) I hear CY and the team were a credit to Australia and the Qantas brand. Kudos
I shudder when I think of it even now! Many things were stalled because of lower level clerical staff desperate to prove their power "just cos I can - so suck it up!!!"
Hmmm, I can relate to that Dr P.. and welcome to pprune wlee380, thanks guys for the insight..
