Law Minister - "Corruption is just human nature."

[Confuseous]

In answering junior college students and undergraduates who asked Shanmugum repeatedly why Singapore had so many graft cases if it is supposed to be a clean country with high pay for public officers, the Law Minister's answer: "It is human nature".

Duh, so if it's 'human nature', why the crap are we paying him and his colleagues the millions$ salary? Many of the PAP mintsters are getting more than what Barack Obama gets as President of USA? Is it due to the corruptibility threshold (human nature?) of Singaporean politicians that is so different [banyak atas = way up high] from politicians elsewhere? Do PAP ministers have to be paid more because it is in their 'human nature' to be bought off; to switch off; to sleep off; to fook off if their basic greed instinct is not cashtified*?

Letter writer to ST Forum page Sudhir Thomas Vadaketh was accused of showing "absurdity" in his argument that meritocracy "may inflate the egos of those who succeed such that their sense of entitlement and privilege can supersede their better judgement". The rebuke came from Law Minister, K Shanmugum.

It's human nature?

So if he thinks he is 'clean' then he MUST BE INHUMAN?

WHAT DO YOU THINK? LOL

Our law Minister is absolutly right here,except that he did not tell or admit to us that Leegalised corruption might also be human nature for certain people.

 

[Sideswipe]

so our law minister gave some cheap answer - it's human nature.

and thus the PAP govt should stop paying the minsters and high level civil administrators top salaries because no matter what, you can't prevent corruption, it's human nature.

I dedicate this song to all the civil serpents, government officials and ministers in Singapore.

Is he saying that it's in Lee Kuan Yew's nature to be corrupt? Or is Lee Kuan Yew inhuman?

As a member of the PAP he must plenty of inside information on his colleagues to give him this insight :p

The funds saved from not paying ministers higher than normal salaries can be channelled into a public fund to fund the CPIB and make CPIB a bigger department than it already is.

to prevent human nature from spiraling out of control.

not a single non-PAP leader has come out to say: I will reduce pay to match US civil service or something lower.

...all fat cats waiting in the wings to take over when PAP stumbles.

all politicians are rubbish.
