FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTIONer.... I am sorry ................

Vote PAP OUT to Save SG SG

Like who came up with GRC system?

GRC system should be Lee Kuan Yew.

After JBJ won a seat in Anson, Lee Kuan Yew had been plotting and scheming to implement an elections system where PAP can win 100%.

The high pay is not a issue if the servant is able to deliver the same high standard performance.

But, with all the honest mistakes and let's move on, what are we really paying for ?

They are allowed to stay around even if they made a mistake without apologising and fixing it.

Not forgetting that we are to blame for not being cheaper, better and faster if they cannot fix any issues that arises.

The general public is not jealous of them earning millions.

But, with no results to show and no track records of fixing rising living costs, the money saved can be used to reduce tax and rental of the hawker centers.

Or else we will trapped with the vicious cycle of more bonus and performance variable to be generated from the people, thus higher cost of living.

With all boo boo that we have seen with the MPs trying to engage the general public, it indicated that most of them are still living in their ivory tower and looking at issues with their point of view.

They have lost touch with the ground.

I dun blame them as they have lived a life tailored and seasoned with good stuff and they will never understand the issues faced by the ground if they have tasked their job to their followers.

So, unless they REALLY walk the ground like the other party, hiding behind a computer with a facebook account will not help in any way.

Vote PAP OUT to Save SG SG

I think highest pay most likely should be also Lee Kuan Yew's idea. Only he can be that shameless.

Vote PAP OUT to Save SG SG

Mediocre performance still got face to take highest pay in world.

shameless mother fuckers, these PAP ministers.

Some fucking ministers also this 2011 elections first time compete in elections with opposition.

Take thing for granted already, this fucking PAP.

Unknown to many Singaporeans, an individual who has largely benefited from this crafty GRC scheme, is Mr Wong Kan Seng.

In the General Election of 1988, by which time the GRC System was already set in place, Mr Wong was part of a three-man GRC team which was returned uncontested. In the General Election of 1991, he was part of a four-man GRC team, which went uncontested.

In each of GE 1997, 2001 and 2006, he was part of a five-man GRC team, all of which were uncontested.

He has enjoyed walkover “victories” in each successive election.

One wonders, if he did not receive our vote, then surely this means that the PAP’s GRC scheme has revoked our constitutional rights to elect our government.

This is a very serious concern.

Now finally I have found a compatriot and someone with the same factional thinking like me.

I agree with you 100%.

So it is not the issue of pay, but what they do (their performance).

So in fact when people focus on the pay.....errrr.....isnt it will take away the focus from the more important aspects ?

What if tomorrow the pay is drastically reduced and then people will forgive the ministers more, because they subconsiously expect them to work more sloppily and commit more mistakes.

So really the whole pay thing issue is strange.

Oh no!!!

We are going to have corrupt Ministers very soon.

Ya, I believe a few of the old guards worked for the good of the nation.

personally even some old guards are willing to serve i bet they have personal agenda to achieve. how can a honourable, honest person ever lost a sense of justice and democracy on gerrymander, threats on voters for upgrading, turning a blind eye on ministerial pay. it was us the voters of singaporeans that make a final push for a difference in this election. where are these MP ( representative of singaporeans in parliament) when we needed them to voice out for us.

i think the more appropriate term will be " work for the betterment of the party".

Director Hitman SG

It is apparent most MPs still put their mouth into action before their brain into gear.

In their bid to stay connected with Singaporeans through facebook, they have done nothing but stumbled, and stumbled over, and over again. I suggest they stop all these crap before they ruin themselves silly.

this is wad happens when they run ippt every year.brainless n reduced to being cocksucking politicians.

shanfan SG

I am glad that you brought up Obama.

As a matter of fact, Obama is not an effective and efficient office holder, because he need to listen to lobbyists and special interest groups and other groups who give money donation to him.

He cannot do many things, as a matter of fact, he need to give some sweets and candies to those groups from time to time.

So this is the reality.

So again, I come back to the basic point.

The high renumeration is beneficial, advantagous, and is overall a plus.

It is not negative, disadvantagous, or harmful, in any way.

It is good because it can attract and retain talent, and can maintain the dignity and integrity of the office holders.

Again, I propose , that the problem is not really in the renumeration package. But actually in other areas, such as,

selection process (is this the best candidate), transparancy, accountability, KPI achievement, and so on.

These are the areas which frankly I think can be improved (some ministers give the aura that they are arrogant or that they taichi responsibility when something is wrong)

So this is the area which should be attacked by the public.

Not the pay package.

The pay package is already correct.

Oh, did Obama tell all these you quoted here? K, to please you, we will just bring the prices of all Veggie Baos down to1 cent singapore currency and let all Veggie Baos be trampled upon.

whahahhahahaha!

shanfan SG

Lim Wee Kiak is another one that must go. Yishun already got Lee Bee Wah as a hated figure. Hopefully Nee Soon GRC will fall next to WP.

Viva Poh Lee Guan!

I am disappointed the jerk who preaches on cheaper, better and faster and refuses to listen are still around. This Lim Suay Lang should be axed.

You go join PAP and get their kind of pay instead of posting crap here, Dumbfool.

shanfan SG

MPs, PAP's MPs in parliament? They are more interested in their own personal interest than anyone's else. Unless they remove every minister in PAP and replace them with people who come on board to serve the nation with sincerity, the name PAP will still remain a bad one. Leopard will never change its spots. PM Lee is doing all these about salary and removing some of the ministers to protect his "kingdom", that is all, nothing to be happy about that he has made some changes.

angel7030 SG

So when one day, when he talks to Stanley Ho or LKS or Bill Gates or Buffet, we have to pay him billions inorder to thing done?

Going into politics must have a passion to serve, being sworn in to serve the peoples of Singapore and protect it. Not being sworn in to get huge paid check and status.

Sadly, in this world, there are only few politicians who can truly say they are not bother by the paid and the status.

charlize SG

They are trying to increase our dignity slowly but surely.

CPF min sum just increased to $131,000.

We can feel richer looking at our cpf statement and feel even more dignified.

Itedino SG

Lim kuan Yew still cannot put down his guard on our CPF money inside GIC. Die die must watch over.

Those big cheque also require his signiture. FOr what. HE never stand down at all.

Fake Democratic.

We can expect no democracy so long as PAP rules. With those ministers in this political party no road to democracy.

CardTrick SG

Wow there's so much damage done already...

I'm not here to challenge anyone's opinion on this matter, because your own opinion is your own business. I just want to point out that Obama and Bush cannot be dragged into this. True enough, they have low official pay as presidents of the United States. However, we are not taking into account the income they receive from speeches and talks they give, books they write, and any workshops they hold. The presidents actually earn more through this indirect income than their official pay.

We must also note the size of the United States and how its larger population will affect the number of people buying products endorsed up by them, books they write and the sheer number of people sending in money and gifts to support them. It's not a fair comparison if we just take their pay at face value.

Things are not as they seem.
