I like my job ...because as a PAP minister, I do nothing substantial. And I collect a cool $1.75 million per year. If I want to travel for free, I just go on a study trip. Many of my colleagues have gone to northern Europe and the US using that line. I get to eat at fine restaurants in sinkapore for little money. And I have lots of sycophants willing to do anything for me.
The only 'hard' work I need to do is to wayang. I do need to rehearse my statements. Even when I blurped out the wrong lines, it is a non issue. The media will colour it to be favourable. Look at Ong, Khaw, Shanmu ....they say all kinds of nonsense all the time. No repurcussion. Loong is a good boss ...boh chap; he is probably busy helping Mdm Jinx.
Life is good as a minister. If I don't make major mistakes, I would have 20 years of such good life and then enjoy an equally financially rewarding retirement, sitting on numerous boards.
