One of the reasons why Political Office holders are prepared to be involved despite the low pay is opportunities and avenues that are opened up after they leave office. The Western style democracies have evolved not necessarily with altruism in mind. The notion that you can find something lucrative down the road has always been a magnet for people to participate in politics. The trick is have an appropriate controls in place and a transparent process and culture in place. The PAP unfortunately was never about transparency nor interested in being accountable to the populace. There are no controls except that the PAP keeps mentioning CPIB and the mantra of incorruptibility as propaganda. In Oz, when Kevin Rudd became PM, his wife sold her business and put her assets in blind trust. That is a classic control. PAP has none of that.

Remember the clown who ran the SGX. He had a stake in a company which he founded that was directly competing with SGX his employer. It only surfaced when it appeared in the foreign press. He eventually put it in blind trust and left only to join Temasek. What kind of signals does it send to anyone who has a shade of morality.

The primary reason why the huge salaries structure was proposed and implemented was to attract quality people into PAP. Something that is not faced by other western democracies. People do not want to be associated with the PAP and if they have to , they want to be appropriately compensated to cover the shame. That's is also why the President's salary was raised 3 times to an astronomical size after the last elections before no one of professional standing wanted to step into an office closely associated with the PAP. Bear in mind, prior to it being politicised, we had Ishak, Sheares and Wee Kim Wee. And I know many people of good standing were hoping to chosen under the old system. Not anymore.

The PAP also has destroyed the culture of public service by monopolising the process and their tainting of general public service by such things as grassroots politics and favours to mates.

Err change title instead to: "who will resign if minister salary is less then $500K". After all Obama is only paid about S$500K.

That aside - well if minister resign because we offer them S$500K then good riddance because they are in it for the $. What about service to the nation? Gian Lui.

If they stay then that is great, and shows that they were over paid in the first place.

Agree. Pritam has the potential to go far. Intelligent yet humble. Head is always on his shoulders unlike some MIW whose heads are near their ka chngs. Or, departed from their shoulders and flying aimlessly looking for more money.

 

[myfoot123]

They will not resign even if you pay them $500K per annum. Many of them couldn't fetch so much in private sector. Lim Swee Say, Seng Han Thong, Gan Kim Yong.... are some of the examples.

It is also the networking and the gifts. No one actually know how much these people are earning.

Ha ha, yes you are right. Before GE, all the talk was on star catch CSM (and its a rightly deserved compliment!), but once Pritam starting speaking, it was WOW! Where did this guy come from. Gotta listen to him speak! I am looking forward to watching him take on the MIWs in parliament.
