what you guys think about this??

I think the national leaders of Singapore has no dignity since the pay is going to be reviewed and also even $4m a year is peanut compared with the Fortune 500 or Forbes listed richest best paid CEO in the world. PM and his minsters' pay should now be pegged to the richest in the world, else who would want to listen to Singapore....imagine you go to attend meeting at the UN, nobody going to 'hew' you....lidat cannot lar, no dignity. Thanks to Lim Wee Kiat for the reminder. He can go repent forever[/quote]Denise Phua mentioned in 2007 about ministers' pay, one of the points being that 'we might attract the wrong people.’ Perhaps the time has come to see who are the 'wrong people' the system has attracted.

Got this kind of logic one meh? :? Is that why Singapore minsters need to have higher salary than the rest of the world so every other leader will have less of a problem listening to our minister's ideas? So Obama will think,\" Hey, this minister is earning more than you ok? You better sit up and listen...\" :laugh:[/quote]I earn more than you so my ideas must be right and you must listen to me. OMG!
