Chairman Lim is 76 years old, has a 0.007% stake in the company and has been on the BOD since AFC97. But despite the 9year hard rule for ID, he has decided to offer his valuable long services to the company via the NEID designation.
But it seems like the other NEIDs are not of the same tune and they (Temasek) have abstained from the voting. And with the abstain, (Ex)Chairman Lim can now enjoy his retirement.
