Since Pee claimed that their new batches of candidates are 'A' Teams and are all from humble background and good track records, then why still afraid they will become corrupted if they are not paid 'market' rate should they become ministers one day - and don't forget if they can become ministers, they are the best among the best. You cannot stop him / her if he / she wants to be corrupted regardless of how much he / she is paid.

If a person is corrupted, no matter how much you pay him there is no way you can satisfy his greed.

When opposition win and take over government, ask CPIB to investigate pap ministers.

Yeo Cheow Tong was a millionaire minister.

But once he stepped out of office, can only find job paying 10% of a minister's salary. Lanlan still have to accept because thats his market rate
Wong Kan Seng was a teacher making a few grand a month before he was a millionaire politician, Tin Peiling makes 3-4K a month now and will make 15K MP allowance and another 15-20K in a GLC job. True million dollar talents like Tharman and Ng Eng Hen are actually in the minority

Hard Truth - majority of PAP ministers and MP will not be able to command the same salaries in the private sector

Singaporeans are subsidising them in millions of dollars of salaries while forcing entire households to survive on bread and water

Only Shanmugam (lawyer), Vivian (doctor) and Ng Eng Hen (doctor) can make real $ outside if they quit or forced to retire when lost in GE. They rest are JLB former civil servants I think

That is why opposition already committed to giving up 50% of its MP salary

Opposition not daft. They will bring down political salaries.

They've already shown action

So, you are actually a PAP sponsored poster...how do you like this job?

As far as the high remuneration and bonuses are concerned, it was argued that they were needed to attract the right talent. Do you see any in their ranks today? Another myth busted. High salaries are but one component of a myriad of factors why people choose to run for public office.

When you think PAP,think of Wall Street.
