Pay so much so that they don't succumb to corruption? Crass PAP logic- self-righteous and self-serving! If this is the case, they might as well be as corrupt as can be. I'm not saying they should be paid peanuts but surely they should be paid according to ability and do please remember they are doing public service at the highest levels. If they want to be so mercenary, they might as well take their much-touted talents to the private sector. Make your mark internationally not locally! It's all about greed and money! Not much of a difference between Kong Hee, Durex, Ming Yi and more of the same to follow!
It's not about service and making sacrifices for the common people but more of Self before Country. Don't pretend lah!
