The talent shortage was so acute that banks reportedly were hiring local hairdressers and car salesmen and turning them into private bankers. They were also stealing employees from rival banks. "There were a lot of complaints to the Monetary Authority of Singapore about poaching," says Annie Wee, a former private banker with Credit Agricole Indosuez in Singapore.
