A common North Indian surname?

Is “Gupta” a common North Indian surname, similar to how “Tan” is a common Chinese surname?

What do you think?

 

Prabu Ramachandran

  • It is common in China villages to have the entire villagers with the same surname, say “Tan”.

    However, it is uncommon for the entire village to be employed at the same institution.

    Maybe DBS should be renamed to Gupta Bank, since it is ran by people from the same village? lol

    Is DBS a Gupta family bank from India?
    Even OCBC N UOB are more diverse.
    Or is it a facade for India’s Intel Agency.

    ‘Gupta’ is popular in the commerce and banking sectors. In fact many foreign banks like to employ someone with surname like Gupta. Of course if it is ‘Ramachandran’ I will be very worried. lol

  • Harder Truths:

    In that country, they give jobs to their family and extended family and then firends – and there are a lot of them. All mostly incompetent. Not unlike a certain political party we all know and love.

    Look at how India has stagnated and tell me that our people are less capable than those bullock-cart drivers. It is about the Regime having a foothold in South Asia that DBS has a South Asian head. They are already stealing DBS assets to save their own corrupt banks and other institutions. Before this is over they will strip everything out of DBS for their people. And the stupid $inkies will be left with nothing.

    Part of that deal is allowing millions of their people to work here. But that is ok with the locals here. I know locals who have tried to go over there and do business but not allowed – this CECA is one-way street.

    $inkies prefer to be Grab drelivery and serve these FT. That is all $inkies are good for.

    There is not a single South Indian in Singapore helming important positions? Whole of India the most talented people come from South India. There is something wrong with the ceca agreement just google famous south indians and u will get a list including the Google CEO. In fact if u look at anthropology in India , Indo aryans are outsiders The Indo-Aryan migrations[note 1] were the migrations into the Indian subcontinent of Indo-Aryan peoples, an ethnolinguistic group that spoke Indo-Aryan languages, the predominant languages of today’s North India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Indo-Aryan population movements into the region from Central Asia are considered to have started after 2000 BCE, as a slow diffusion during the Late Harappan period, which led to a language shift in the northern Indian subcontinent

    Basically India has tons of stupid rules that hinder foreign investment and import and export businesses. In order to bypass these rules countries have to sign one way street treaties with them . This is where the pap had been stupid. Most talented people from India go to USA and other countries.

    Recap the LEHMAN MINIBOND $AGA/FIA$CO IN SEPTEMBER OF 2008.
    RETAIL INVESTORS LOST HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS.
    MANY GOOD N LOYAL SGPOREAN DBS STAFF WERE SUBSEQUENTLY RETRENCHED WHEN A CERTAIN MR KOH BOON HWEE SENT THERE AS CHAIRMAN.
    DBS SG-STAFF WERE ASSURED BY CHAIRMAN KOH THEY WOULD NOT BE AXED.
    THE CONTRARY HAPPENED AS OLDER SG-STAFF WERE RETRENCHED UN THE NAME OF COST SAVINGS.
    IN FACT,THE SGS WERE RUTHLESSLY REPLACED WITH PINOYS N INDIAN FAKE TALENTS(FTs) .

    Koh was made chairman of other GLCs and the same retrenchment of sg-staff always took place during his tenures.
    Could it be coincident?
    You decide.

    This bloke has been awarded NATIONAL DAY HONOURS!
    FOR WHAT NATIONAL SERVICE?!
    RETREMCHING SGS AT GLCs n REPLACING THEM WITH FTs?

    You call that PUBLIC SERVICE CONTRIBUTION TO sgs?

    Karma awaits him for impoverishing so many loyal sgs.

    That is assuming it is their real surname.

    From the land of fake degrees and scammers.

    One tried to con me on the phone earlier this year by impersonating as a Singtel techician offering to ‘help’ me resolve some alleged hacking attempts on my home broadband line.

    Of course, he could see it at his end and offered to assist me if I turn on my home PC and follow his instructions.

    These people are not as clever as they like to think they are.

  • If I remember correctly, DBS is owned by Temasick, which is headed by a new Indian CEO.

    If this is correct, then no wonder most of DBS’s top management is manned by an entire village from India, can’t then blame Temasick chooses to close one eye? lol

  • 60% ABSD also pay:

    ”Buyers from China picked up four apartments – either two-bedroom units or two-bedroom-with-study units; they will have to pay the 60 per cent additional buyer’s stamp duty (ABSD) rate that kicked in on Apr 27 for foreign buyers of any residential property here.”

    Ah Nehs run the companies in Sinkieland.
    Ah Tiongs will buy up everything else.

    Wow! I am shocked by your revelation indeed.

    So Gupta is a HUGE family, 1st class family in India and I wonder if they all live in the same city or like China, same village all same surname.

    I am curious though, the Sinkieland and India CECA got say can ‘import’ only FTs from the “Gupta” village or city bo?

  • DPM Wong talking cock. Again:

    Straits Times: We will always have your back’: 4G team will look after workers in these dark times, says DPM Wong

    More “cheap talk” from DPM Wong. “Where is the beef?” Singaporeans are worse off since LHL became PM. Thousands of Singaporeabs PMETs lost their job to foreigners. Foreigners get taxpayer subsidy to study in local schools. HDB flats more than doubled in price while wages were stagnant. CPF accounts of Singaporeans are depleted by over-priced, poor quality HDB flats. Many owners of landed property can park their cars outside their house on public roads for free while heartlanders have to pay monthly to park their cars in HDB estates. “Cheap” foreign workers not only take jobs from Singaporeans but they also depress local wages and push up prices screwing Singaporeans big-time.

    The only way to have real change in Singapore is to put more Opposition in Parliament. Vote Opposition for a better future. Vote opposition for openness and transparency in government.

    Wow, I didn’t know that. So the Sinkie-India CECA’s purpose is to import the Guptas into Sinkieland, planeloads of them.

    In no time, Sinkieland will be full of Guptas, so we will have DBS-Guptas Bank, Temasick_Guptas Holdings, GIC-Guptas and so on and so forth. Maybe also rename Sinkapore to GuptaSing? lol

    It would be very interesting to watch.

    @DPM Wong talking c**k. Again

    Wong is not wrong. He could be referring to the jobs of those converted Sillyzens, PRs and FTs.

    He just omitted to mention that he wasn’t referring to local-born Sinkies.

    What do you think?

  • Now for 100% ABSD:

    Desmond Lee may try 100% ABSD and keep his finger close, hope that it will work.
    Try his luck.
    ”This is the third round of cooling measures since December 2021. National Development Minister Desmond Lee said the latest ABSD increase is a “pre-emptive measure” to dampen local and foreign investment demand.”
    ”Buyers from China picked up four apartments – either two-bedroom units or two-bedroom-with-study units; they will have to pay the 60 per cent additional buyer’s stamp duty (ABSD) rate”
    So China may take Taiwan by force.
    As for Sinkieland, China can get the Tiongs to buy up the whole Island.
    Small change; ABSD not withstanding.
    When the Tiongs have bought up most of the housing units, their Sinkieland education-sponsored naturalised Sinkies will take over the political leash.
    If they have not already!

  • Royal Craps:

    Here are infos on the “Guptas” that run afoul in these countries:

    Atul and Rajesh Gupta,who fled to the U.A.E. about five years ago, secured at least $3.2 billion worth of business through a vast network of corporations and government connections.

    Sanjeev Gupta, head of the Gupta Family Group Alliance, which is being investigated on suspicion of fraud and money laundering. Britain’s financial crime unit is investigating suspected fraud and money laundering involving the businesses of Sanjeev Gupta, whose global metals empire ballooned in recent years with the aid of billions of dollars in financing from the failed firm Greensill Capital.

    Rajat K. Gupta’s conviction on four of six counts of insider trading at Goldman Sach.

    After that digital banking debacle in DBS; I started withdrawing my assets/deposits and diversify my placements in other banks. Left only the Fixed deposits which I mull whether to forego that few thousands penalty. Really wonders whether will it happens here? But to be fair, hope Deng Xiaoping is right:

    不管黑猫白猫,捉到老鼠就是好猫。 Buguan hei mao bai mao, zhuo dao laoshu jiu shi hao mao. “No matter if it is a white cat or a black cat; as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.”

  • Why Indian can’t do high tech?:

    So many of them in IT but their IT companies be it in India or Silicon Valley not top tier. They do have substantial startups in Silicon Valley. Also it seems they can only do the lower end software which are GUI applications can’t really do more advanced stuff such as hardware such as 5G, CPU, GPU, semiconductors, and robotics and AI. ChapGPT has 87 AI engineers/scientists of which 9 are from Chinese. What they outperform other Asians are becoming CEO.

    DBS has the most IT system crash and malfunctions among Singapore based banks. SGX also has twice IT system crash which it’s IT vendor HCL (india IT outsourcing company) said due to disk/storage/backup issues (if I remember correctly).

    We only have few CEO positions for them, but we also mass import many professional and blue collar positions from them. The one important criteria they can’t fulfil is good productivity not to mention qualify. From experience working with them they put much efforts in PPT/reporting works (score points) and talk ideas than the actual work. The sectors dominated by them will likely perform below par compared with east Asia countries.

    So the Gupta is a very HUGE and well-connected family and is involved in almost everything under the Sun and the Moon. I would reckon they are class 1 in the caste system in India?

    At the current rate that the Guptas are being imported into Sinkieland, maybe it is time to engage the very expsnsive company that named our rubbish dump to standby a list of new names for Temasick, GIC, DBS, etc etc etc?

  • Gupta is Hindu Casteism:

    “Although I was born a Hindu, I solemnly assure you that I will not die as a Hindu. Equality may be a fiction but nonetheless one must accept it as a governing principle. A just society is that society in which the upward sense of reverence as well as the downward sense of contempt is dissolved into the creation of a compassionate society.
    Buddhism was a revolution. It was as great a revolution as the French Revolution. Though it began as a Religious revolution, it became more than Religious revolution. It became a Social and Political Revolution: I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.”

  • Clear eyed:

    Something seems very fishy when the CEO of DBS is a Gupta and in the senior ranks of the Bank there are 8 other Guptas and an unknown number of Guptas in the other ranks. Whiffs of nepotism and cronyism and unethical hiring practice are strong.
