PM and Ministers take pay cut

**commoner** · 14-05-2010, 04:48 AM

But not Singapore,,,,,,, the UK cabinet will have immediate pay-cut

KNNB, do we really need to change the CB PAP govt in order to see them automatic take a pay-cut instead of a 8% increase in their budget,,,,

Please vote PAP out,,,,

Don't compare to Great Britain.. If they only have 1 political party, you think they will cut their own pay?

Only in sinkie land, you will see a increase in salary year to year!!

It's true. They probably won't. It's just like North Korea and the "1 political party" the DPRK like you said and the long-time leader at its helm. Dear Leader Kim Jong Il has never seen any crisis in the land that he governs for so long and has never seen a real need to personally take a pay cut.

And do you think anyone be it commoner or official dares to tell him that he should do it? That people are hungry and suffering and that he should dip into his own conscience? They could do it a little with Charmain Mao Zedong who headed the CCP in China but for leaders like Kim you know it is not really possible at all because every cell in his old fat body is just basically fascistic.

So such things are probably best left for them to judge themselves.

They will only take a pay cut when they realize that they are about to be voted out.
Better to take a cut from $2 Million to $1.8 Million instead of having zero right?

Gordon Brown's parents do not own Great Britain, so cannot compare.

Just because other people take pay cut, therefore you ask your pay to be automatically cut???

Just because some people grow a mustache when they become a father, you also want to grow a mustache???

Just because a minority becomes the President of USA, and you want a PM who is also a minority?

British government has been running in debt to a tune of US$266 billion, and their economy is having great problem having 2.5 million without jobs - while Singapore's economy is booming, people are buying houses and flats after flats and cars no matter how high the price is, and foreigners are pouring into the country to set up businesses and get jobs and spend money - and you ask the government to cut pay, which they did when the economy was bad?

I believe IMH has many patients who share your idea.
