A "1st world" parliament spends a week debating their own salaries?

[Sir_Fcuk]

Unbelievable. What a productive use of time.

Cut the pay, and cut the crap

 

[leetahbar]

it's not peanuts. it's million dollars involved. worth it!! if they could carry on for the whole year better still cos later after 12mths can repeat another discussion on obscene pay raises.

during the debate, lky's son spoke for a very long time, trying his best to convey a message, like the late Michael Jackson trying his upmost to entertain his patrons.

Talking for a long time is trying to justify his "worth".... in the end, its hot air.... believe it or not, looking at some facebook pages, LHL and gang, like BG Tan etc has quite a handful of supporters

 

[Confuseous]

It was quite a sorrowful sight - like employees begging for pay rises from their bosses every year. Except these guys were trying to justify their high pay. But they still don't get it - it is not the money per se but rather that we are not getting value for money. And the immature things uttered, even from the prepared speeches, show their lack of depth and ability to read situations.

A good [or near good] speaker needn't take half a day to knock some idea into masses' skull; unless one is talking to retards or near retards.

 

[johnny333]

They are discussing what is important to the PAP i.e. $$$$.

As some have pointed out parliament is just wayang. MPs just read from prepared scripts that have been prepared for them

 

[RonRon]

the duration could be shorter if Jialut Giam can answer a simple yes or no answer

 

[drifter]

Those PAP should learn from the ah tong roll on the floor and cry ...

 

[steffychun]

Well if Barack Obama loses the US Election, he can always migrate here for higher pay.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

Well if Barack Obama loses the US Election, he can always migrate here for higher pay.

even if obama does that....they will never grant him citizenship knowing that this FT is here to snatch their rice bowl.

Retards or near retards? May not be far from the truth

Obama speaks much better that wannabes like Vikram Nair with his fake british accent
