Well, We all forget it will be fair tie up salary with GDP,

as % of GDP.

The above is countable and official salary. we have to consider
1. unofficial income--corruptions,directly n indirectly,
2. retirement salary and subsidy during and after office. do SG has pension?
3. who foot the bills on transports, during and after office. SG's official
pay for their own cars.SG dunt has VIP aeroplane.sometimes, even PM LHL take
C 130 to regional meeting. i have posted in this forum.

run a small GRC and earn more than the president of USA? that's a joke man.

I think the Kenya thing is like irrelevant... the bar actually shoots to 240, about 5 times off the chart...
USA is running itself to the ground man.... National debt forever increasing

When you are corrupt, if you are caught you go to jail.
When you pay the politicians their rightful salary + corruption money, there is no longer a need to be corrupt, the best part of this is it's legal corruption.
What's this bullshit about being hard to catch corruption if it's from the top, there have been lots of Presidents being prosecuted for corruption.
"On pensions, the PSD said these are not calculated based on total annual salary packages, and that currently only about half of a minister's montly salary is pensionable."

You sure they pay for their own cars? Thought they have Mercerdes Benz with chauffer provided and bodyguard provided for?
Take C-130 is because it's safer, because I am sure C-130 has ECM as compared to your regular Boeing or Airbus. Do you know how much it cost to charter a C-130 as compared to a regular business jet?

No matter how much you want to talk about it, salaries for the people at the top will not fall lah.
Accept it and let's move on.

This Lee family, Lee Kuan Yew, Lee Hsien loong, Lee Wei Ling, Ho Ching, now I also tired of criticising them.
Don't know when Singapore can finally be rid of this family.
-

Wow look at number 1
-
Hahaa ok compare with a third world country to feel better about yourself.. PAP supporters are really becoming desperate huh
-
i refer to serveal reply--
1. Legal corruptions---yes, i also treat high salary as legal corruption,a fixed corruption much better than unfixed corruption. If other countries pay high salary to leaders,
their countries would be in better shape.
Look at USA. The US gov use Fannie and Freddie Mae to pop up GDP growth by purchasing much loans from banks. The banks then just close two eyes,
eg NO DOC loan, to lend $$ to pple who should not buy house.
Many pple took more than 100% loan, eg 103% of house price, the 3 % to pay for insurance against borrowers default. The insurers also fall. This is one of the roots of financial tsunami.
Have SG leaders are not keen to window dressing the GDP like US in the
past few decades?
No. SG leaders cooled down property market in 1996 and 2009.
2. u are welcome to compare with first world country in various aspects.
