BBC: ¡°Finally, Prime Minister, I read that you are apparently the highest paid head of government in the world. Your salary is about four or five times what President Obama gets. Are you worth all that money?¡±

PM Lee laughed and said: ¡°I am not comparing myself and I don¡¯t look at these rankings.We go on a system which is open, honest, transparent ¨C what is the job worth, what is the quality of the person whom you want. We need the best people for the job and these are jobs where you make decisions which are worth billions of dollars. And you cannot do that if you are pretending and you just say, ¡®Well, we are all in it for the love of King and Country¡¯. We want it to be honest, we want people not to come in for the money. But at the same time the sacrifice cannot be too great. And at times like these, you want the best possible government you can have.¡±

What was he saying? So the best govt command the best price then why say you don't want people to come in for the money.

WTF his reply doesn't ffing make sense.

More cockup than Bushism-talk. Who is this overpaid idiot trying to fool? Pinky's IQ must be one of the lowest of any major leader.

 

[DOM the Clown]

Loong is trying very hard to look, think and act dumber than Bush!

Sounds like he's suggesting Obama is unfit to be the US President and that he could have done a better job. Yet he could not even run a piece of nose shit well!

 

[oli9]

On his million dollar salary - What he's saying - "Im worth much more than your Obama. No doubt about that."

On other PM's pay - What he's implying- "The rest are corrupt & dishonest bastards. I do it for the money & not for the love of country. So there."
