[quote]‎\"If the annual salary of the Minister of Information, Communication and Arts is only $500,000, it may pose some problems when he discuss policies with media CEOs who earn millions of dollars because they need not listen to the minister's ideas and proposals, hence a reasonable payout will help to maintain abit of dignity.\"


- Dr Lim Wee Kiat, PAP MP for Nee Soon GRC, 24 May 2011 (Lianhe Wanbao)

what you guys think about this??

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!

Further imagine my pastor told the congregation (which happen to include a few top businessman in SG): peg my pay to the top income earners in the congregation. Otherwise, nobody will listen to me....!


Whilst I don't believe church workers/pastors should be paid peanuts (literally), never in my dream have I imagine the pay should be peg to the top income earner attending the church.

Sorry OFF TOPIC!(pssst....I really need to detox....)

I think the family is responsible for the child's value system.

I used to think this way but boundaries are not that clearcut afterall. What if some kids do not have a family or good guardians? Education would be the next best channel. Also, not every parent is apt at delivering values, there are dysfunctional families but schools are not supposed to be dysfunctional and education is bigger than just learning ABCs and 123s.

I agree that there are circumstances which can be against a child. For better or for worse, the family is responsible for a child's value system. All schools have their set of values, there's moral education and some have di zi gui. But I find teaching values is something that cannot be taught, it must be lived and example must be set. I'm sure teachers are not robots and when their teach, their sense of values will be \"transmitted\". Sometimes, it's better not formalize, not all teachers have the heart to teach values. Not all teachers are like the one in the recent MOE commercial, though I believe there are some teachers who are like that.

We want schools to be many things, but let's just give the teachers time to focus on the basic biz, and to do that well. There will be teachers who will do more than teach and there will be teachers who do less than teach. Nothing is perfect. As a society, provide 2nd chances at various levels. There will always be good and bad guys.

Alamak, eureka!

By LWK's logic, now I understand why d garmen don't listen to d ppl.
Coz most folks don't earn at least $1.57 mil /annum.

By d same logic, all political appointees' pay shd now be peg at $1 below d median of $2,500 / month.
