First, the Ee committee seemed to have carried out its work in secret. Ee gave no public progress updates, no interim findings, he held no public hearings, nobody even knew when he was going to complete his work. It was so bad the press had to query him, whereupon he said he would complete it by 30 Dec but refused to give any details, saying it’s up to the Prime Minister to release whatever recommendations he has made.
Meaning a matter of top public interest is totally confidential, and he doesn’t want to share anything with the public.
One has to wonder– why all this secrecy? Yes, pay is a sensitive matter, but this is a matter of great public interest, and there should be full transparency about the process.
So the PM wasted his time and energy briefing his own MP’s. They are not the ones who objected to his salary. It’a the opposition who are objecting to his salary.
But instead of presenting his proposals to the Leader of the Opposition, instead of soliciting the Opposition’s views and likely points of dissatisfaction, he chooses to hold a briefing for his own party MP’s, none of whom objected to his salary to begin with.
I don’t think I would pay $1 to such a man who can make such a fundamental political mistake, much less $2.2M.
It is clear that, by only briefing PAP MP’s and not the entire Parliament, the Govt is asking its MP’s to sell the report to their voters, and the Govt wants to rally its MP’s behind the report.
