After they increases the GST by 2% and all kind of taxes they saw a surplus and so need to increase their salary very well plan.

[VanDick]

They are giving themselves a handsome pay raise to celebrate their hugely successful CDC voucher scheme.

Surprisingly, the inflation rate stands at an average of 1.2%, as how it is derived is everyone guess.

In recent years, I cut back on my spending as my purchasing power lowered my standard of living.

The money that I have from savings and shares can't even get me 4 wheels of a new car. Look at how much they raised my cost of living with higher GST and rentals. I don't even bring my family out to each together every weekend anymore.

A retired MAS uncle once told me, the new generation of politicians were different from his generation. Our country is burdened with debts and our property market are creating money out of thin air. It saddened him to see our country focusing on tax receipts and stamp duties from construction and property development while innovation and other industries that a back-seat. This year, we will support higher property prices by bringing down the enbloc-voting threshold to stir more re-construction. Our people don't benefit from all these; he paid off his landed property with 15 years of his salary, while his children with Masters probably take 35 years.............from his perspective, think about the amount of underlying interests paid.

We are literally committing societal suicide.

Most of the mnistars cannot afford GCB ...that's why they need a pay increase. Shanmu and Vivian had to rent GCB. It is disgraceful that the best brains in Sinkapore cannot afford GCB.
Pay them more ...ministar gets $12 million while the PM gets $24 million.

The 50% waterborne tax and 9% GST already enough to pay them multi millions dollars a year
Bear in mind that the cost of water from Malaysia is dirt cheap, On top of that, the billions$ profit from compulsory Medishield Life.

They let us eat 冬粉， but they serve themselves shark fins.

 

[A Singaporean]

I support. At least 10X.

Why must they get higher salaries? Everyone is feeling the pain from rising cost of living. The pap gives out CDC vouchers to mitigate this, they reckon this will put us in a better financial position. So I strongly believe that political office holders should not get higher salaries, but instead be given CDC vouchers like the rest of us. If we can make do, so can they.

allowing tiongs to buy up commercial properties with hardly any restrictions, eg. no absd and prior approval from ld(a)u, greatly helps the commercial property sector and relieves many sinkie reits and owners tied down with hefty loans and non-performing rentals (due to business closures). the tiong syndicates in turn jack up the rentals and rent them out to tiongs seeking a foothold on the island for their “sexpansion” and money laundering activities. this “best” practice also allows many tiongs to seek residence in sg with biz or millionaire visas or permits and employ more tiongs to kickstart their biz. for this, pap needs to be lauded for foresight and biz sense, and the raise in pay is well deserved. 69% raise is highly recommended.
