I hear your members of parliament make about twice what I make. <BR/>I will have less responsibilities. I won't have to send any young men to war. I won't have to deal with 100 times more people than you have. And yet, I can still make more money.<BR/>Make me a citizen. Sign me to your parliament... please... pretty please...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21070055.post-75085852614181522032008-11-26T12:46:00.000+08:002008-11-26T12:46:00.000+08:00If LHL deems it fit to cut his salary now, doesn'...If LHL deems it fit to cut his salary now, doesn't it mean that he doesn't need to be paid that level of rmuneration in the first place. <BR/><BR/>Then where is the logic of the need to peg it to the high income earners to ensure that they won't be corrupted.<BR/><BR/>So for now using the same kind of arguments put forward by our PAP leaders, our PM and his whole bunch of money-faced Ministers would tend to become more 'corrupt' now that they are made to suffer from such 'drastic' cut in his salaries.<BR/><BR/>Obviously all this is made up to sound logical to the man in the street.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
