Seriously I don't think the President shld be getting this much. What does he actually do other than being head of state and gracing a few events a year? He doesn't have much responsibilities or stress like the ministers, right?

Desertwind, how about $4.2million a year for our President? Are u going to faint twice?

Nicole Seah asks for donations online using her own bank account


http://www.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNews/Singapore/Story/A1Story20110523-280160.html

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

This was during the election right. Is it stil-ongoing, the request for donation? I thought it stop liao

No..after election, she is soliciting donations via FB for S$35,000 as NSP has overspent for the election compaigning(Tankee, Quality Hotel has billed them...... ). By the way, it is indeed legal for her to ask for donations for the election campaigns even after the elections but I think the mistake is to use a personal bank account in her name(maybe she is really equating NSP as Nicole Seah's Party...) which is not a wise move. The lack of experience in understanding sentiments of people continues to come through...as I said before she needed more years to mature....I look fwd to her future years.

[quote=\"DesertWind\"]Hi Hi,

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

so low, lidat my son don't want be prime minister liao.

Low meh? Perhaps I should state this is the \"guaranteed\" basic gross pay ie. without add on bonuses, AWS etc. So how much your son wanna earn?

So when people complain about \"out of this world\" pay, surely in their heart already got some \"in the world\" number, no? So you say how much lah!
:evil:[/quote]aiyaa... ask this ask that, so laychey.
and kena pay cut, he go join WP liao! :rotflmao:

It's just that she is not so knowledgable about the proper processes. This can easily be taught.

[quote=\"ksi\"]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? :?

forbidden fruits taste the sweetest :mad:

In other words...still no control right? :sad:[/quote]A beautiful wife will no longer be beautiful 10 years later. Youth equates to beauty.

Familiarity breeds boredom. When you've been with someone for a few years, the attractiveness fades away.

If a person only focuses on physical beauty, it will be a short relationship, no matter how beautiful the companion is. Time is a greater destroyer. It destroys physical beauty through aging, and it destroys attractiveness through familiarity. Ultimately, it is responsibility, respect and emotional bonds that will carry a relationship through the years.
