TJS should now go one step further and announce that he will donate the surplus of his salary to the annual President Charity Show, and that the amount donated will be made known to the public because it's public fund anyway.
And he should also announce that he will encourage all ministers to donate to the President Charity Show every year, and that each minister's donation will be made transparent, especially Zorro Lim's donation since he has proclaimed in public that "I feel so rich" each month when he receives his CPF statement.

Good suggestion.
Phony has been very consistent and vocal in his support of the millions to be paid to himself and his PAP colleagues. He and his colleagues need to be paid millions "so that they could look after their families and need not worry that their families would suffer as a result of them going into office".
Govt open about the way it pays ministers : Tony Tan
147th Prostitute Press
4 December 1993
THE Government has never shied away from paying its ministers and other office-holders openly, unlike in other countries where secret payments or undisclosed perks are made, Dr Tony Tan said yesterday.
"This openness is very important because it forms the basis for the honest and corruption-free government for which Singapore is admired throughout the world and which forms the basis for our progress and prosperity," Dr Tan (Sembawang GRC) noted.
Singapore should, he added, continue with its system of revising regularly the salaries of civil servants and political office-holders so that it maintains its reputation as a nation free of corruption.
The former Minister for Education, who stepped down at the end of 1991 to return to banking, was one of several MPs who rose in support of the salary revisions.
Dr Tan, who is now chairman of OCBC Bank, called on Singaporeans to view the revised salaries in perspective.
The salaries were not exorbitant, but "in line, in fact, lower than, the salaries which are paid to senior executives in the private sector".
He added that Singaporeans should not begrudge civil servants and ministers their salary revision.
They should also not be hypocritical about paying these people adequately, as the revision was "our investment in the future of Singapore".
He added that after 13 years of working closely with the Cabinet, he could vouch that the ministers were honourable people.
"For anybody to question the motivation and intention of the Government in making this salary revision will be to my mind quite absurd."
He said high salaries should not be used as a means to attract people to public service, as a sense of public duty and mission was also needed.
But it helped for those who were serving in full-time office that they be paid adequate salaries, so that they could look after their families and need not worry that their families would suffer as a result of them going into office.
