Ministerial Salary Review

[laughingcat]

Thank you raysusan for the link.


It is a good read.

I particularly love this sentence

"Political service is a calling; it is a privilege accorded by the electorate to serve the largest number of our fellow Singaporeans. It is primarily a privilege, not primarily a burden or sacrifice. The principle of political service should come first and not be treated as a discount factor"

Kudos to all Singaporeans who voted during the GE. I’m so glad that we voted in 6 opposition members and 3 NCMP, into Parliament, to give so many alternative views. Otherwise, it will be a lopsided Monopoly by the governing party.

The Ministers are stepping up the pressure in case Singaporeans start calling for more cuts. My opinion is that the current cuts are sufficient. I get his point about competitive salaries.
