This Hainanese makes more sense than the whole cabinet...

Ngiam Tong Dow:

"I don’t know whether Lee Kuan Yew will agree but it started going downhill when we started to raise ministers’ salaries, not even pegging them to the national salary but aligning them with the top 10.

"When you raise ministers’ salaries to the point that they’re earning millions of dollar, every minister — no matter how much he wants to turn up and tell Hsien Loong off or whatever — will hesitate when he thinks of his million-dollar salary. Even if he wants to do it, his wife will stop him.

"Lim Kim San used to tell me, “Ngiam, if you want to leave your job, make sure you have enough walkaway money.” When the salary is so high, which minister dares to leave, unless they decide to become the Opposition party? As a result, the entire political arena has become a civil service, and I don’t see anyone speaking up any more."

One thing,,will he be dumped by the PAP for the next GE?

Ngiam Tong Dow – How PAP Ministers’ millions dollar salaries AFFECT their performances.

We should develop our public hospitals, instead of running them down, so that doctors will want to stay on and not leave once they get higher qualifications.

The issue is whether our hospitals can cope with the rising number of foreign patients coming into Singapore.

We shouldn’t buy trophies. The best thing is to train our own people and give them the experience.

Sometimes, I think our present Cabinet spends money on frivolities, and staging the F1 is my “favourite” example.

When you do not have money or there is no food in your stomach, your priority would not be Singapore’s soft power.

I’m not saying we should be miserly, but we should spend our personal money and public funds wisely to benefit most people.

In the early days, Lim Kim San and Goh Keng Swee worked night and day, and they were truly dedicated. I don’t know whether Lee Kuan Yew will agree but it started going downhill when we started to raise ministers’ salaries, not even pegging them to the national salary but aligning them with the top 10.

When you raise ministers’ salaries to the point that they’re earning millions of dollar, every minister — no matter how much he wants to turn up and tell Hsien Loong off or whatever — will hesitate when he thinks of his million-dollar salary. Even if he wants to do it, his wife will stop him.

Lim Kim San used to tell me, “Ngiam, if you want to leave your job, make sure you have enough walkaway money.” When the salary is so high, which minister dares to leave, unless they decide to become the Opposition party? As a result, the entire political arena has become a civil service, and I don’t see anyone speaking up any more.

The Civil Service has definitely become tamer, which is not good because we need a contest of ideas. The difference is that no one wants to make a sacrifice any more. The first generation of PAP was purely grassroots, but the problem today is that PAP is a bit too elitist.

but funny how many, many, most Hainanese do not make noise - whilst under the masters, until after leavingthe organization,...this Ngiam Ding Dong should have voiced up earlier,...yes/ no ?

 

[zeddy]

Mr Ngiam why make noise now and not 10 years ago?

Perhaps that's why.

Simple explanation...When you are in the group, you group think and cannot say or express dissenting views.

That's where our Elite, the people in the higher echelon will just say aye, aye to what the Emperor or the Dowager want to hear...

That's where Singapore will go downhill...

So when he says 6.9 mio is just a figure, it will be that figure.

So when he says million dollar salary is good to keep the ruling elite uncorrupted, it is good...but we are not sure if it stays uncorrupted.

That is absolute rubbish. Ministers in the PAP cabinet are of a very high calibre. They could easily earn 10 times as much if they left politics. They're making a big sacrifice to serve the people.

somebody pls ask if Tin Pei Ling and Teo Ser Luck if the above statement from BS is true.

 

[amazedbyyou]

Policies all gone wrong.
1. Obscene salaries for the taking........too good to voice dissenting views
2. Lift the Whip. Im sure President scholars can explain why for/against?

you are spot on.
it is certainly a great sacrifice for them.
imagine they have to bear the indignity of constantly shafting the ass
of all those moronic sillypooreans.
at the end of the day , those morons ever said thank you , we need more shafting.

Which Sr Civil Servant dare voice dissent when JBJ, Tan Wah Piow n Francis Seow have their heads hung in the market place as warning to all?????????????????????

Ngiam spoke only after he left Adm Service which is the right thing he did........ his balls will be cut off if he had spoken up while in Adm or Civil Service///
