SAF and SPF chiefs probably earn more. He felt insulted
Those 2 are technically not in government anymore
ask what? Our parliament sucks despite claiming to use the Westminster model
Lets recap.
From a wise man
1992, when Commercial Affairs Department director Glenn Knight was convicted of graft involving a government vehicle loan of $65,000;
1995, when Public Utilities Board deputy chief Choy Hon Tim was convicted of taking nearly S$14 million in kickbacks; *
2002, when former Economic Development Board officer Andrew Goh Keng Guan *took S$380,000 in bribes from Chinese nationals to help them process their applications for permanent residency.*
Somehow the other prominent cases are not added to the list:
Tan Kia Gan, Minister for National Development, offered his services for a consideration in the purchase of Boeing aircraft;
Wee Toon Boon, Minister of State in the Ministry of the Environment, accepted a bungalow worth $500,000 from a housing developer and took two overdrafts totalling $300,000;
Phey Yew Kok, President of the NTUC and a PAP MP, charged on four counts of criminal breach of trust involving a total sum of S$83,000;
Teh Cheang Wan, Minister for National Development, accepted two cash payments of $400,000 each, in one case to allow a development company to retain part of its land which had been earmarked for compulsory government acquisition.
Less corrupt my foot!

Castration?
Does having more wife prevent adultery ?
As Uncle Yap has said before, pappies need to open a Ministry of sexual affairs board called temasex.
High class prostitutes will be recruited with high pay to satisfy the sex cravings of these horny elites.
According to LKY theory, this will prevent these elites from having sex scandals.
High pay to prevent corruption, High class sex to prevent sex scandals.

Do you mean PAP should set up a Comfort House - like what the Japs had during WWII.
That certainly needs no translation as old man is definitely very well informed in this wouldn't he?
THe civil service in Singapore is grossly overpaid. Singapore is one of the smallest countries in the world but have the highest paid civil servants. How does a country so small afford to pay such high salaries? Even such high salaries does not help in corruption. As we know there are many facets to corruption and bribery.
It is a pity that not a single one of the online media has touched deeply on how to lower corruption without ridiculous salaries for the civil service. The online media in Singapore is another PAPzi creation. It has occasionally led to new findings but the dedicated online media is still a compliant prostitute.
It is simple to employ that all civil servants declare their assets once a year. If they can commit to declaring their taxes, they should find it not difficult to declare their assets. THis is the type of salaries that hig up civil servants are paid http://conferences.wcfia.harvard.edu/gov2126/files/quah_singapore.pdf
The difference between the highest and lowest paid New York police officers is about 6 times. In Singapore it is 15 times. Does this not lead to excessive salaries and provides a large reason why the income disparity in Singapore is such a major issue? The blardy PAPzi government is the one that has been creating the income disparity all these years. It is the PAPzi government that has been overpaying their civil servants and thus, themselves all these years.
Can you imagine the Commissioner of Police in Singapore earns much more than the Commissioner of Police in New York? One runs a playground while the other runs a true Police Force.

only those in the higher rungs with super scale pay, there are civil servants with low pay too :o:o:o
Which I covered in my fourth paragraph.
The issue is two-fold. The huge salaries are accorded to a group at the top sphere. This ridiculously high salary is not commensurate with their job scope and difficulties. Then there is the case that lower rung officers are also underpaid for thei scope of work. This discrepancy is rampant not just throughout the civil service but throughout the entire GLC and all GLC related landscape. The fact that the government is the largest employer shows clearly that the huge wage inequality is due to none other than the PAPzi government and their policies.
Are we only discussing in the contect of politics and public service?
Some soccer purists seem to agree with the thread topic.
They claim professional millionaire footballers at top level will not succumb to corruption due to high pay, penalties if caught and love of the game.

I do not have the figures but you should be pretty close. Was told KBH, whatever his superscale grade etc was drawing between 30-35k when he was CP. A new mata mata then would have gotten close to 1.8k?
