revelation on CNA 'Talking Point' that she has no plans to run for AWARE

Is this a freudian slip or an outright lie?
In a press statement released on 17 April 2009, DBS revealed that Josie Lau
"Josie informed the bank of her appointment as Aware Exco member on April
13, over two weeks after she was appointed on March 28. She had not sought
prior approval for this appointment and thereby breached the staff code of
conduct. Nevertheless, DBS made a concession and agreed to support her
involvement as Exco member.
Early this week, Josie broached the subject of her intent to run for
president of Aware. We reviewed her request and subsequently informed her
that while the bank continues to support her involvement in Aware, we could
not support her intent to run for president, given the demands associated
with the top post of a leading advocacy group in Singapore."

However, in an interview with CNA "Talking point" 2 days later on 19 April
"There were 5 of us, we went around the table and none wanted to take up the
position (of President). I was the last woman standing. And I felt that I
had to pick up the baton, to run and to continue to lead this organisation
that has been marred in controversies in the last one, two weeks."
(Watch the interview on Singapore Enquirer)
This gave one the impression that she had no intention to run for AWARE's
President in the first place and was "forced" to accept the position because
nobody in the new exco wanted it which is in direct contradiction to DBS's
earlier statement.
The issue was brought up by a journalist during the new exco's press
conference at Raffles Town Club on 23 April 2009.
Surprisingly, Josie chose to evade the question and threw a smokescreen to
obsfuscate the truth on the grounds that she is duty-bound to DBS not to
reveal details what exactly happened.
Ok, can I ask 2 questions please. Fong Meng, from Today. Question No. 1, at
the point when people were asking, was there an agenda, had the new exco
come out even before the AGM or even immediately after the AGM to clarify
matters, the integrity of the new exco would not be called into question
now. So do you think you could have done something to at least to allay
these concerns? The other question, Josie, is about DBS becos DBS has said
that the afternoon of the mtg before you were elected as president, you had
indicated you planned to stand for election as president. But later on at
the Talking Pt programme, you said that you were the "last woman standing".
Can you clarify this?
Ya, I'll clarify that second part first. Okay. I'm bound by my employment
contract not to say anything between me and DBS, so I hope you'll respect
that.
Now, the Constitution is such that when the president resigns, you can only
elect from one of the six ordinary Exco members and I'm one of them. And
there is always a possibility that I could be, I don't know.
Okay. And that night, the truth of the matter was as we went round the
table, we asked everybody: If somebody before me said that she would take
it, I would have gladly given it to her because I did not come into Aware to
be president, I was just joining Aware to help out with fund-raising and
marketing.
So when I spoke to my bosses about me being an Exco member because there
were already press articles on the 10th of April, which was a Good Friday,
and I had to tell my boss that "Oh, I'm an Exco member" and that was it. And
then subsequently when it became apparent that it could be one of the six,
any of the six and I said I might as well put it in in an application form.
But anyway, this is part of my employment, I don't want to talk about it and
please, it's off the record. So that night when we had the meeting, even
before the meeting started, there were already press outside waiting.
Can you imagine if we had walked out and no president elected, the press
will say, "Look, this new Exco has no leadership, no one is willing to take
over the baton and everything." And that night I had to bite the bullet and
go. We went round the meeting, I was the sixth person to be asked. From the
No. 1 to the 5th, nobody wanted.
No, you said that there were six names and you felt that there was a
possibility and you informed the facts. So did you tell DBS that you are
running for President? This is a matter of clarification because there's one
rumour that's going round that you had lied. Josie, could you clarify that
on record, please?
I hope you understand I'm in a very difficult position. I'm not allowed to
say anything that happened that night.
Can I just clarify what we have here? So Josie, you did tell the bank that
there's a possibility that by evening you would become president but on
Talking Point when you said that there was no plan, you were the last woman
standing and you gave in.
That was because you were bound by the conditions set by your bank, you can't
talk about it? I mean they're trying to understand, it's because they're
writing the story and this could go several places, they just need to get
the points clarified. Thanks.
Okay, this will be the last question because I've just received the latest
update. This thing has grown out of proportion.
Okay, the police are there right now at Aware Centre and Shultz Lee, our
centre manager is raving and is shouting and just refusing to let the vendor
replace the security locks. And the Old Guards, many of the Old Guards are
on their way there.
I believe there's going to be a fight. So I think, I'm so sorry, I think we
have to call, make an end to the press conference.
[The press conference ended without Josie Lau giving us a clear, direct and
concise answer if she had informed DBS of her intention to run for
president]
