[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:

[quote=\"ksi\"]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]I believe she is experienced in her outlook and thinking, defintely more so than TPL. 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.

After this incident, definitely No such Mistake Again, from Whichever Party ....

Hi Hi,

frankly, I really don't care how much the ministers are paid so long as they do a good job. The higher the pay, the higher the standards held to which they are accountable.
With the recent issues on high property prices, high inflation, transport problems, overspending on YOG, it serves to highlight the fact that the ministers are not performing to expectations.

The overspending on YOG was a fiasco. While it is understandable that there was an unforseen change in requirements for hosting the event, the committee should learn from past Olympic events that such requirement changes are the norm and should have factored in a large enough buffer. Beijing overspent on it's initial Olympic budget. One can use that amount as a guide to factor in the buffer needed for YOG's budget.

There should be KPIs for ministers and it shouldn't be just the GDP figure. They should form a committee to look into implementing KPIs for ministers. The KPIs should be reviewed annually, and not only during election years when voters voice their discontent through their votes. At least the govt took note of the discontent and retired the unpopular ministers.

IF beauty is d only criteria,
dis is akin to saying dat a man who appreciates d beauty of a good painting
will only see d beauty of dat painting to d exclusion of all others.
Is dat so? Normal meh?

We digress. Dis discussion shd be under domestic politics. :lol:

d period for political donations is limited to 30 days (to cfm) after polling day, so d urgency but her inexperience shows.
She shd hv run this thro NSP leadership before committing d donation appeal on FB.
How she now handles d accountability of dis donation drive is important for her credibility in future.
But too many Indian Chiefs in NSP.
