Hi Hi,


My own wild guess of the new minister's pay should be between SGD500K to SGD800K per annum.

Anybody game to poll?

This is what the top civil servants earn. If the ministers' pay is at that level, then all civil servants can also expect a pay cut, coz how can the perm sec earn more than his boss? And if perm sec's pay cut, then the deputy secretary's pay must also be cut. If the deputy secretary's pay is cut, then the director's pay must be cut, etc. etc.

Wow, 800k per annum...making it approx 66k per month..that's still a lot of money the top civil servants are earning...goodness, and the pensions...how they derive at these figures har? No wonder they die die also vote for ....ehem..

PM Lee said this: \"But ministers should also be paid properly in order that Singapore can have honest, competent leadership over the long term.\"


Is that our secret formula for keeping our government corrupt-free with the high pay packages? Does that mean that the not-so-well paid politicians elsewhere will be tempted to be corrupt because \"Money no enough?\" This is interesting food for thought. What are your views?

I also wonder if it is true that once a man has a very beautiful wife at home, he will no longer look for a mistress? Is that a similar analogy? :?

Someone commented in yahoo that pension scheme should be scraped, I can't agree more. Why, cpf is meant to act as pension isn't it? So why should minsters be any different? Sharks, why we only wake up now har? :frustrated: I think we are the ones who have been slapped first. No more sleeping passengers!

OMG .....sleeping driver with sleeping passengers ....so where is the bus heading ??
liddat......1 co-driver may not be sufficient :lol:

Re-instate the Bus Conductor -lor!

that kind of obscene pay is even more lucrative than corruption, seriously and honestly. corrupted crooks will also be straightened to become honest politicians with that kind of pay. I am not the first to say this

Is this another example of her naiveness?
Her new-found fame getting over her head? :?

To me, either ways, there is no difference to the pocket of the ministers at the end of the day.
