Many Singaporeans feel CDC mayor salaries are 'outrageous': Pritam Singh

[Johnrambo]

Many Singaporeans are of the view that the salaries of Community Development Council (CDC) mayors are "outrageous", mainly because they are not perceived to commensurate with the mayor's roles and functions today, said Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh on Wednesday (24 February).

"Other Singaporeans are of the view that the CDCs' functions can be carried out by other existing entities, or by ministries and statutory boards, including other organisations under the People's Association, particularly since the social footprint of each CDC is uneven, and can differ greatly compared to another," claimed Singh.

"Yet others simply don't know what the CDCs do."

There are currently five district mayors - Low Yen Ling (South West), Denise Phua (Central), Fahmi Aliman (South East), Alex Yam (North West) and Desmond Choo (North East).

According to the 2012 White Paper on government salaries, mayors are paid an annual salary of $660,000. This is in addition to their annual MP allowance of $192,500, not including bonuses.

The PAP technocrats are also a bunch of kleptocrats. It's exactly like George Orwell's Animal Farm where the pigs hoarded the milk and apples for themselves.

The truth is Sinkieland doesn't need mayors. In fact, it probably doesn't even need a Prime Minister or President. For the ceremonial stuff, get a Malay sultan. The elected leader can be someone like Hong Kong's Chief Executive or City of London's Lord Mayor.

And have term limits. Two or three terms (10 or 15 years) is more than enough time to sit on the throne. Just fuck off already.
