LKY introduced money politics into the PAP. From 1955 to 1973, the PM's salary was $3,500 per month. A significant salary revision in 1973 increased the PM's pay rise to $9,500 monthly, and other ministers' salaries from $4,500 to $7,000. In 2016 values, these amounts were equivalent to approximately $27,742 (annual $360,646, including 13th month) and $20,441 (annual $265,733, including 13th month) respectively. Then PM LKY justified the increases by emphasising the need to attract qualified individuals to govt service, stating that ministerial salaries needed to be competitive with private sector earnings. He was greedy to the extreme.People tend to forget that during the reign of LKY Singapore was a dictatorship…every and anything he was law.
there's only 1 mp who dare to challenge LKY on these high ministers' salaries..... the mp from rochore !!LKY introduced money politics into the PAP.

LKY lied when he claimed that his family would have been rich if he was corrupt, but he chose to make S'pore rich as a country instead. He legalised the obscene salaries for himself and his fellow PAP ministers to enrich all of them.there's only 1 mp who dare to challenge LKY on these high ministers' salaries..... the mp from rochore !!

Retribution will befall him sooner or later.The sins of the grandfather have passed onto his sons and spread to his grandchildren.
The fact that his family got rich after he became PM proves he is corrupt. The fact that he changed intestate laws to hide from public his wife's estate is further proof he is corrupt.LKY lied when he claimed that his family would have been rich if he was corrupt, but he chose to make S'pore rich as a country instead.
