The proposed removal of pension for new political appointees by the Ministers' salary Review Committee is a right recommendation.
Will PSD now look into removing the pension scheme for the Admin Service, Judiciary Appointees, etc?

The current household income ceiling for executive condominiums is S$12,000.
Mr Khaw said: “There is this sense of inequity here that the lower-income group is getting lower subsidies than somebody who is earning S$12,000, so something is wrong somewhere and therefore I think we cannot carry on the EC in this current mode."
Mr Khaw also said he is confident that he can bring down the price of new flats in non-mature estates to four times the annual median salary of a buyer - down 30 per cent from the current 5.5 times. He is wary of some "transitional problems".
He said there needs to be "distinct differentiation" between the cheaper new flats and those built earlier.

indeed.... gg for just a GP checkup at polyclinic cost more than $8. strange that a person earning a million or more can enjoy such high subsidies compared to those earning $5.5 / hour.
