Spanly 5th Gear April 2, 2011 Share April 2, 2011 There's an interesting forum letter in Sat's Straits Times questioning the few top civil servants(including the 2 generals) who 'retire' from their current positions to join the upcoming election... when using the term retire means they got to get their pension? Does that means after they get into office(i sure they'll be elected) & eventually really retire... they'll get another pension? also, early 40s can retire liao?? why not resigned??

Jeff49er Clutched April 2, 2011 Share April 2, 2011 who in the world would benchmarks politician pay to ceo ones??? ceo renumeration is "profit driven". to compare this way is worrying. no wonder we are labeled Singapore Inc. Should be PAP Inc President is like Chairman PM is like CEO SM are like Directors Other senior cabinet ministers are like Senior VP Cab minister are like VP Others are like Assistant VP Surely salaries are high Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrios Turbocharged April 2, 2011 Share April 2, 2011 i 1st got the idea of a $1 salary from an article about a senator in US asking for $1 pay people in other countries are ministers because they want to make a change and serve the people, we have the same category of people here and they are no less intelligent too - people like jeyaretnam, CSJ and all the rest who have been sent to prison countless of times for other nonsensical issues yet they keep on bouncing back so if we are not lacking in people who will work for a nominal sum yet are no less talented, why arn't we hiring such people? bare in mind that i'm not saying that we should get talented people like our LKY or GCT to step down but hire cheaper ministers who can do the same thing for much less actually at the rate at which we are going, anybody can do the job need more parking? increase parking prices roads congested? increase COE, ERP, fuel mrt congested? proclaim that people don't want to board trains expensive to live in singapore? ask people to live in malaysia instead who can't do such jobs? with such an attitude, i can solve any problem you throw at me too! cannot find job? go macdonalds! cannot find high paying job? go be your own boss! cannot find wife? go vietnam! there is no problem in the world that cannot be solved with nonsense! This I agree..rather ordinary output..straightforward solutions which my grandma can think of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkingidiot 1st Gear April 2, 2011 Share April 2, 2011 It's interesting how those who support the unjustifiable astronomically high salaries of the ministers, always, ALWAYS... instead of debating the issue.. invariably keep insulting those who question the issue... calling them "hyprocrites, jealous, losers, whiners, naysayers, etc... " It's as if they themselves are unable to justify these high salaries, but having to show support for their "side", somehow or other, end up in personal attacks against those who question the issues... Yet, they are the loudest to criticise personal attacks, when people question the inadequacies of the 3 proposed candidates, Tin Janil Foo trio....

Sdf5725 1st Gear April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 even wif ur so called "legalized" corruption, tis does not 100% means that there will be no corruption in there or anywhere in the garmen sector... quite a no of cases being exposed and all are from garment sector... the time is still not yet for more of them to be exposed only... that is because they are still not paid enough. and a mind to go for corruption is on and off as times goes by, thus need to keep increasing the salary again and again once in a while. and the amount cannot be small sum. when they find some ... going to have corruption, the salary will increase again. Thus, every time they announce there is an increase of the pay, you know some of them are going to have corruption. so they are increasing the pay to stop them from corruption.
