Well said, PM. It is greedy people who raid the reserves knowing the huge surplus there. The problem is the leader who led the assault and is answerable. The rest without doubt will support it since it is beneficial.
Politicians are supposed to serve the country n people; instead in Sg it is $$ that lure them.
It is in such a state where people are outrageously overwhelmed by $$ n power.
As leader(s) why dont MEAN-TEST by reducing salaries by half and see the challenges??

They think elites and scholars are incorruptible!

History has shown that all the corrupt acts have been committed by ordinary sinkies who became too greedy. The elite aren't interested in money. Their focus is on doing a good job in running the country.

N. Korea leaders' action and systems ---> are they corrupted? We know luxury items enjoyed by top people.
China under a 1st great leader ---> is it corrupted? We know womanizing.
There were many facts and data show different from what you said.

Corruption is not only concerned with money.
Those top people may not consider favourism as corruption.
Thus, they assume to be clean!!!

No use paying them million $ salaries. Some would fall just at the sight of the pussy black hole too even though they were already getting huge salaries.

Not too sure. Imo, easier for corrupt acts if you are in position. Same for cheating or CBT. Can an Ah Beng cheat or CBT a big sum of money? Much easier for elites. Problem is whether such acts were detected and if so, were the cases pursued vigorously? Or benefit of doubt given and these chaps given warning. A minister of health was removed after it was ascertained he was instrumental in getting benefits for his relative in the pharmacy biz at one of the hospitals.

Very simple theory. Corruption exist at all levels and different patterns.

Rich and powerful corrupt big big and legalised pattern. Example, buy condo with special discounts lor.
Poor and peasant level corrupt small small and needless to say, illegal pattern.

Fucking stupid! The more rich ones get, the more corrupted. Making more money is very very addictive. Especially when can use money to buy power.
