From all the talking and defending it just show one thing and that is the ministers of Singapore believe they are the cream of the crop and that the million of dollars spend as their salaries are worth it.
As the defending go on and on and the more the ministers try to justify why they should be getting such high salaries, the more confusions and resentments they create among the Singaporeans. They should just stop and accept it and not keep defending it...
Lee Kuan Yew mention the need for a competitive ministerial pay to attract committed and capable people who will serve the country. Well I am 50% on this as I agree with more competitive pay it will naturally attract more committed and capable people but why I disagree is because I try to go into the statutory board but what I they rejected my application as they deem me being too aggressive in nature and that my expected salary is beyond what they can pay... I know I am not a minister but I am too trying to do my part for Singapore by joining the statutory board just as how the ministers are doing their part. Why am I rejected for being aggressive in nature? I want to chiong for my dreams and I am willing to put in efforts to achieve it but people shoot me down for the simple reason I am too aggressive... Next why is my expected a rejection point when I am asking less than $75k a year!!!
So does Mr Lee mean that only ministers are the one running the country and the ones who should be getting the "competitive" salary while the rest of the civil servants and officers of statutory board are just people doing the ministers bidding's?
Furthermore he said unless Singapore has a steady stream of people to serve as ministers, Singapore as a little red dot will become a little black spot... This further strengthen the fact that he believes ministers are the ones running the show and not the people of the country!
Then why are we working so hard to keep our country safe and our economy running... Why not just leave it to the ministers since they are the one who are in need by the country to continue maintaining it as a little red dot and not anyone else.
Singapore is one of the smallest countries in the world and yet our ministers are drawing the HIGHEST salaries in the world... A big unbalance if you are to ask me... Talk about balance between work load and salary and we all can see the big see-saw here.
They should really just stop trying to defend their salaries. We, the average earners are so sick and tired of listening to their defending... More time should spend in the discussing things which are more urgent and important (which are usually put aside by one sentence or two in the Parliament) than to discuss about why the salaries should be this high...
