Chitchat This Chat by Forbes Never Fails to Raise My Blood Pressure.

Better than medication for those suffering from LOW Blood Pressure. Relief Guaranteed.

and the pap ministers think they are underpaid and doing a good job

Your blood boil but the 70% get a Hard-On.

at least the pm's income is declared and published. there's nothing to be ashamed of for a pay over a million. what should cause your blood pressure to go up is the undeclared income of obama. he is now shopping for not only 1 but 2 mansions from east coast to west coast, with each from more than us$4m onwards. how the feck does he accumulate so much wealth when he makes only us$400k a year before tax as potus? after tax, it will be around us$269k per year. for 2 mansions worth more than us$8m combined, he will need to put down us$2m cash to secure uber jumbo loans and finance at least us$6.9m over 30 years. 8 years in office will barely earn him enough savings for downpayment, but he's left with giant mortgages to carry. where does the rest of his money come from? before and during office, he has raised enough money for his 2 presidential campaigns (more than a hundred million) with millions in leftovers for his campaign trust, whereby he's a trustee and co-spender of the trust with michelle. after office he will earn more than us$69m a year raising funds, writing books, endorsing corporate lobbying, speaking for us$6.9k a plate at us$69k per table at us$6.9m a night. by the time he finally retires from it all he will amass a whopping us$696m, hundreds of times to pay off his mortgages. but usually by then he will have more than 6.9 mansions not including his presidential library in hawaii which will be funded by hawaiian taxpayers and sponsors for a presidential library there.

This comparative scale does not tell the full story.

Do you dare to publicly accuse them of not declaring income that they should declare?

New World undeclared income falls under legal corruption so its no crime.

There are many undeclared incomes.

in the absence of undeclared incomes, the best estimate of relative pay is through officially declared incomes.

So my point to eatshitndie is LHL is still the highest paid politician in the world. For that matter any Minister in LHL's Cabinet out earns Obama

Could self-serving PAP leadership be leading Singapore towards a state of self-destruction/ civil war?...

Deploying sock puppets to speak as trained(whipped) to do: "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."

In a Banana republic, u don't need a bomb to kill anyone, just a simple disruption like traffic lights breakdown and these uncivilized barbarians (economic elites in SG who can afford exorbitantly priced COEs), its everyman for himself as each tries to bulldoze his way through, ultimately, they kill themselves in the stampede that soon follows...

Anyhow:
In a Banana Republic of Singapore, foreigners and the state junta own more of the resources and opportunities than the citizens themselves have access to... The big question is where are we now...


Banana republic
In political science, the term banana republic is a pejorative descriptor for a servile dictatorship that abets or supports, for kickbacks, the exploitation of large-scale plantation agriculture, especially banana cultivation.[2] More generally, it is a derogatory term for a country that is considered to have a weak economy, a dishonest or cruel government, and public services that do not work.[11] In economics, a banana republic is a country operated as a commercial enterprise for private profit, effected by a collusion between the State and favored monopolies, in which the profit derived from the private exploitation of public lands is private property, while the debts incurred thereby are a public responsibility. Such an imbalanced economy remains limited by the uneven economic development of town and country, and tends to cause the national currency to become devalued paper-money, rendering the country ineligible for international-development credit.[12]

increase pay to millions when politician in sg cannot raise hundreds of millions in campaign fund raising mah. if sg follows u.s., there's no need for million-dollar pay.

If Singkies were upset about it...they would not have voted pap..but pap has 70% support..so majority has no issues n majority rules. Y complain!?

if their pay is raised by another million, 69.86% will still vote for them. or perhaps, the number will shrink a little....down to 69.69%.
