"Once out of office, Truman quickly decided that he did not wish to be on any corporate payroll, believing that taking advantage of such financial opportunities would diminish the integrity of the nation's highest office. He also turned down numerous offers for commercial endorsements."
Why is it that we have so many ex-PAP politicians so "shameless" to leech on corporate (many are GLCs) payroll?
Why? Why? Why?
