The Government happens to be the most generous employer because It cares for the wellbeings of Its' servants. Let's appreciate It's ability to make profits and share with Its' employees and the top dogs.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />patriotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-28714208840784370342011-03-04T00:24:37.492+08:002011-03-04T00:24:37.492+08:00I know not of any first world nation leaders who d...I know not of any first world nation leaders who draw such high salaries to run their larger first world countries. <br /><br />More like "out of the world" salaries for a "second world" nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-90939805842135980082011-03-03T22:18:19.392+08:002011-03-03T22:18:19.392+08:00The fact is: Sporeans are paying "first world...The fact is: Sporeans are paying "first world salaries" for a leadership which cannot deliver a first world standard of living.

I don't need to tell anybody why that's a worrying stance for Singaporeans. <br /><br />Perhaps they equate delivery of GDP growth as achievement, not the # of floods they can prevent or #of terrorist they can catch & release, or # of teacher/student fiasco, or # of patients who can afford healthcare. I believe all the more reason for making sure we the people judge them all at the ballot box on the basis of how they solve your problems at the people level, rather than on how they helped or hindered the thriving of the nation. Afterall, you can keep selling drugs and meet your revenue & growth target without any regards to the lives you ruined with the help of peddlers & drug mules. <br /><br />We have come to know our PAP leaders of today are self-serving in one area of their lives, and unaccountable and anti-empathy in others.Wisernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-62255370190492583682011-03-03T14:37:49.243+08:002011-03-03T14:37:49.243+08:00LTK's point should be that the rise of 30% is ...LTK's point should be that the rise of 30% is double that of GDP growth. Nonetheless, the government might have budgeted for more political appointees (the PS/SPS/MOS/SMOS positions that have to be created for the high flying political aspirants who will have to give up their fat cat private/public/quasi-private sector pays for the thankless job.<br /><br />Still, the CS pay system baffles me. I thought it was benchmarked against the private sector pay at two levels. I cannot remember the lower "32 year old" benchmark offhand but assuming a young "senior officer" (which I believe means admin service) draws $15 a month, the max pay he receives including the 8 month GDP bonus (which we are told is 25% of total pay, or 32 months) is $480,000. That by the way is 20 month bonus but hey, that is only the day's rate charged by our best surgeons to their richest clients, sorry patients.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-87073609794002552032011-03-03T13:11:19.421+08:002011-03-03T13:11:19.421+08:00What if the highfliers used in the benchmark made ...What if the highfliers used in the benchmark made their money through questionable, if not illegal, means (e.g. Bankers, Surgeons)?
