From omy.sg: ‘ 部长薪酬过低 有失身份地位’ 林伟杰言论遭网民批评 ("Lim Wee Kiak defends ministerial salaries: Low pay is a loss of dignity")

Translation by mrbrown.com:
"If the annual salary of the Minister of Information, Communications and the Arts is only $500,000, it may pose some problems when he discusses policies with media CEOs who earn millions of dollars because they need not listen to the minister's ideas and proposals, hence a reasonable payout will help to maintain a bit of dignity."

The original article:

‘ 部长薪酬过低 有失身份地位’ 林伟杰言论遭网民批评

20110525_it_lcn_LimWeeKiat_img_main.jpg


义顺集选区议员林伟杰认为,合理的薪酬有助于维持部长“尊严”,引起网民批评,表示按照他的逻辑,“恐怕胡锦涛和奥巴马遇到李总理时,连握手的‘尊严’都没有!”

李显龙总理日前宣布成立委员会检讨总统、总理、部长及国会议员等政治职务者的薪金,引起全国上下关注,许多民众都认为部长领取的薪金过高,有必要削减。

针对这一课题,林伟杰接受媒体采访时认为,部长薪金调得过低是不合理的要求。

他说:“如果新闻、通讯及艺术部长年薪只有50万,当他和身价数百万的电讯公司总裁开会商讨政策问题时,可能面对一些困难。因为总裁们可能认为没有必要听取部长的意见与建议,因此合理的薪酬将有助于维持一点尊严。”

此言一出,引起网民强烈反弹,纷纷指出部长“尊严”并不由薪金多寡决定。
