Having taken the time to digest and for my anger to simmer, I was ready to write about the recent furore regarding the ministerial salary increment. Until I realise what I write probably count for nothing. And potentially too many "serious" things to write about - contrary to the ethos of this journal.
So I bring to you qualified comments from Mr Wang's blog and Mr Brown . The latter more funny than a "eloquently and convincingly" statement. Quite below the belt.
So just a short remark from me. We need to raise ministerial salaries so that it reduces the chances of corruption sipping into the government. Singapore is regularly ranked at the top in terms of her fight against corruption and the low level of corruption in the country. So why do we need to raise their pay now?
Because the much-glorified system of assessing ministerial candidates cannot be trusted to work properly?
Because they face equal risks of entrepreneurs and businessmen and thus should have a share of the pie?
Because they were forgetful to tell the public about the low pays they were getting during the elections last year?
Cake-sim.
P/S: Found this on the internet. Have a read.
