Cannot compare lah! Like Clinton when he was drawing only 1/4 million per year but he gets the best medical service available in USA. Multi million dollars ministers do not get the best medical service available in USA, they only get the best on earth! They only stop short of saying they would be lining up in polyclinic to get their Q number & assigned randomly their doctors. Multi million dollars ministers are not entitled to anything but the best on earth thus there are no value attached! So it is justifiable for them to draw millions & not accomplish anything! Multi million dollars ministers pay do not stop at the published rates of their salaries, there are other things attached as well and all these are paid for by rich sinkies tax payers! Sinkies are after all the best employer ever!
