Indian FT agrees with PAP on high salaries!

[steffychun]

THE job of a politician is much more complex than that of a chief executive officer (CEO) of a private company ('Variable component' by Mr Kevin Kwek; Tuesday).

A CEO is motivated purely by profits, even if it means axing jobs. A minister's task is multi-dimensional. He has to keep the economy on a sound footing, create wealth, jobs and infrastructure as well as look to security, to name a few.(Wait, not all ministers are in-charge of the economy dummy. How about the Minister without Portfolio?)

If a minister does not perform, vote him out - that is how the question of his salary should be resolved.

I am from India on a long-term visit pass (lucky bastard stealing our jobs) and I clearly see the distinction with which Singapore has been steered by its ministers. (how much did they pay you to write this line)

Singaporeans should be proud of the leaders they have had, and have, and reward them well for a job well done. (You mean by suing people?)

This will encourage a fresh crop of non-corrupt, young, talented citizens to take up the thankless job of a minister.

I have to agree with him. There is nothing wrong with the salary structure. The fault lies with the electorate for continuing to vote for ministers who are undeserving of the salaries that they're being paid.

Ministers are subject to a performance appraisal every 5 years. If they aren't up to scratch, just tell them so at the ballot box so that someone more deserving of the salary can take over.

It really is that simple.

You're too pro-PAP.
