‎"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 a bit of dignity."

 

- Dr Lim Wee Kiat, PAP MP for Nee Soon GRC.

 

And I thought I had some dignity 😛

Walao. That's like saying Bill Gate's garbage man needs to be paid $10 million a month because he handles Gates' trash. [laugh]

Wait, if dignity is directly related to pay, then shouldn't Obama be kowtowing to our common MiniStar? Let alone our PRIME MiniStar or prataman! [laugh]

 

How dare a commoner like POTUS mix in the exalted company of OUR glorious leaders? [rolleyes]

Please... then they had better be paid more than $10million..

 

Even if minister earns 100k a year, lesser than a bank or telco ceo.. the minister discuss with them, the ceo will not listen just bec pay is lower?

 

At work place, department head is AVP rank, there is a lao ciao old bird old subordinate that is VP rank n pay is higher than the department head due to his number of years serving the organization, the subordinate can dun listen to boss??

 

Apparently this MP who has.this view has not much experience working in big private organization with structural hierarchy

The full report is in fact in 25/05/2011 "Lian He Wan Bao" as indicated in the web link. I don't think such article will come out in Straits Times or "Lian He Zao Bao" though. Bad image, bad image...

Are our ministers that smart? Apparently our PM says so. But how come they kept doing things that self-pawned. :D

Everything they think originate from money.

No wonder i feel so small and humbled when i talk to my big boss. Its not about ability... It about him getting wayyyyy more pay than me.
