Overpaying politicians does not make them honest

Goh CT triggered many S'poreans when he declared: "So I look for Ministers, anybody who wants to be paid more than half a million, I won’t take him. You are going to end up with very very mediocre people, who can’t even earn a million dollars outside to be our minister. Think about that. Is it good for you, or is it worse for us in the end?" The "very very mediocre people who can't earn a million dollars" appears to be how Goh and his PAP colleagues think and behave.
Wooden Goh is one of the greediest minister in singapore
It's very obvious that in SG's societal culture. Asking valid or in fact any question that undermines the status quo leads to one's doom.
Many local SMEs, Singaporean in middle to higher management inherited this mentality.
As the saying goes, the rot starts from the top.
Telling the truth or attempting to improve step on many toes and impede many people's career prospects and material benefits.

Unfortunately, you're right. In SG's top to bottom specific hierarchy, the leopard never changes its spot for a lack of a metaphor for it.
In fact, we already reached our peak over 20 years ago. Failure to listen to bottom grievances will always lead to the collapse of the civilisation.
Read late roman empire and tang dynasty. Apparently, history will always repeat itself.

Group thinking (Inbreeding) already deeply entrenched in the system.The network of inter related mutual interests and material benefits are intertwined (I scratch your back,u scratch my back) such that no one want to destabilise the boat just to maintain the rotten system.
