AWARE's President, beware!

AWARE's President, beware!

Yes. Beware. But of what?! Just because DBS openly rebuked the newly elected (or appointed?) president of AWARE, Ms. Josie Lau for "disregarding its advice against taking on the top post at the Association of Women for Action and Research (Aware)".

Actually it brings up a question: why DBS seemingly is against its employee to be involved in this AWARE organization???

To make it worse is Ms. Josie Lau is not a mere DBS employee. She is the bank’s vice-president of consumer banking group cards and unsecured loans. Can't the bank be more tactful in 'scolding' her???

Even if Ms. Josie Lau is indeed in the future unable to balance the commitments of both demanding positions, the two organizations (DBS and AWARE) should then be able to take their own actions against her.

Till then, she ought to be given a chance to carry out her duties--in DBS and AWARE.

If other senior employees in DBS can strike a balance (between their works in DBS and their other commitments), surely Ms. Josie Lau would be able to do the same. Mr. Conrad Raj, the editor-at-large in TODAY writes a compelling article about it, uhm, today, "What’s good for the goose..."
