COMMENT: The furore over ministerial pay is gaining currency again

People who demand politicians take a very low pay and stay clean are the ones who are dumb. They have totally no idea how the world works and they should stay the fuck out of everyone's way.
...It has worked well for Singapore, and you are incredibly stupid for wanting to destroy this system in exchange for one that encourages lowly paid officials to take bribes.

A VERY LOW PAY? Did anyone ever state the amount? How low is low? Is the President of the USA paid a 'LOW' amount? How many times more is a Singapore minister taking as compared to the leaders in a superpower country? It's unethical and embarrassing for someone to insist on rationalising based upon an arbitrary and unqualified 'LOW'. Did anyone use 'VERY LOW'?
 
How much would it cost a person to have his or her face pictured on a gigantic billboard in a year?
Can someone quantify the amount of stress and suffering a resident has to endure in having to look at such billboards on a daily basis?
Community living should be about the people and not a barefaced, brazen, egoistic and self-centred LEEder.
 
.. There's no way to eradicate corruption, and that has never been the aim.
...

Well said. THERE IS NO WAY TO ERADICATE CORRUPTION. So, HIGH or LOW is not a critical factor. It's the individual that matters most!
'And THAT HAS NEVER BEEN THE AIM' - Closing an eye - No wonder nobody, within and without Singapore, gets to hear. No news is good news.
 

Thank you for your post. Could I suggest that you start a new thread for each episode for discussion, and an all encompassing one to contain all the episodes. Much appreciated. Cheers.

nope, but some kayu fella did use the term "very, very mediocre" :redface:
 
when u pay yourself whenever u want in the name of serving the country, is it any different from a corrupt leader who helps himself to the government coffers?

Yes, LEEgalised or otherwise, they are the same and with a uppercase H. SHAME on the LEEders.
