Election campaign is not the time and place for a candidate to court voters by promising them that he will donate to a worthy cause. The chairman of a private sector company is not paid much more than the chief executive: I know the president’s pay is definitely too high. I don’t expect such salary. I agree that the President’s salary should be reduced. “If somebody tells me he will vote for me if I take a pay cut, I don’t know whether I am actually compromising on (my) principles- that is , actually, I ‘m buying your vote. “If I compromise before I become president, can you imagine when I am a president? I can make many, many compromises also. In life, there are certain fundamental principles I won’t concede on.” “If (a voter says), “You take a pay cut, I’ll vote for you,” I think I’ll tell him, “Please vote Tan Kin Lian” …Dr Tan Cheng Bock (Strait Times 13 August 2011) /Summarized by FB Admin 2 ,Source: Strait Times 13 Aug 2011
