The Singapore economy grew a better-than-expected 1.3 per cent last year, according to figures announced by the Ministry of Trade and Industry this morning. The economy grew 1.5 per cent in the fourth quarter.

Even Malaysia did better than sinkapore! Why? We are supposed to have the best of the bestest, that's why they are paid the highest salaries for governments. And this is all that they can do for sinkapore ...a pathetic 1.3 percent growth!

"Better-than-expected". One of the favourite phrases in a politician's toolbox.

 

[steffychun]

There's no justification for high paid government officials, ministers or civil servants

The PM and his ministers should take a pay cut of 98 percent to show true leadership.

Our five million people are in negative productivity mode.

Because I surf Sammyboy? hehe...

The shareholders of Singapore Inc. should either vote the current board of directors comprising Pinky and his ministars out or have their multi-million dollar salaries slashed to take responsibilty for their dismal performance.

Dun believe even if they tell you no pay from now....the will find ways to cover back the shortfall.
Kick them out is the only solution.

 

[cunnilaubu]

The 1.3 percent growth was after some creative adjustments made to 1st 9 months' figures and again for the last quarter.
otherwise, we would have seen negative growth.

It all have to do with the minister's bonus which is pegged to GDP.

The ministers are a bunch of aged, rhetorics driven, greedy, unreasonable and self-serving politicians whose specialities are to create more problems and not solutions for Singapore. Time for Singaporeans to call it quit and show these politicians the exit come GE2016.

They should get Lim Swee Say to explain this.

Why are your points negative?

I agree! No point in feeding them so much, while they can't do a proper job of serving the SG people, or the nation of SG.

 

[halsey02]

You will need the following:

1. Crocodile or Alligator - to cry tears
2. No singing allowed
3. No costume

4. Ear plugs are encouraged

Going by that guy's logic, when we have 6.9 m population, pm's salary will go up to $6.9 m, maybe like that guy said, 20% discount, so still have about $5.5 m. the rest of the ministars' salary will be adjusted similarly by some fancy formulae with many hidden goodies.

Growth is better then negative growth, Median income has also increased. Why don't we see this?

 

[ChaoPappyPoodle]

If Teo Ser Luck can show this kind of standard then it is a case of What Do You Think when it comes to the PAPzis and the quality of their MPs -
Can a student spend equal amount of time in and outside the classroom ? Equal amount of time studying and on CCA. Maybe there are just too much homework, overly focused on result that it just seemed difficult. If we are serious about value based education, can start with giving students a balanced schedule. Learning about teamwork and caring for others are a lot more important than to be competitive in the classroom. Most times, we learnt those values outside the classroom.

Growth is better then negative growth, Median income has also increased. Why don't we see this?

We pay exceptional salaries to supposedly exceptional people ...we got below average results. Those growth can be attained even without a government.

Median income is only $2100. That means 50 percent of the workforce make less than that. There is nothing to brag about. Instead, it is a badge of shame.

Can you see how ludicrous your question is?

Cut the PAP Ministers' salaries by 95 %.

99% better.
