unlikely if you're talking about personal wealth, most other
politicians we know off became really rich before they joined
politics. others became so powerful that they "own" the whole
nation.
exactly, and why do they need the exorbitant pay of an
mp/minister? why the need for so much money? to buy a prime estate
in hell?
people now join politics now to earn high pay, rather than the
desire to serve the people. only during pre-elections then they
start to do their hearts and minds crap, to show the public that
they care....or bait the public with upgrading or free money to buy
their votes. Hell, even the PM readily admits this
Too bad, it might work for the old generation simpletons who
die-die support PAP for what its supposedly did for us in the
60s,70s,80s against the so-called communist threat , yada, yada,
yada. Now the younger generation who are more IT-savvy can see for
themselves the propaganda and the bullshit they spew for 40 years.
We might not see PAP lose power in the near future.. but they will
fall eventually.
If you'd actually read, the article, you would know that he was
jailed for CONCEALLING his losses. Temasek losses are public
knowledge
And does the public actually realise the magnitude of the
losses? How come no inquiry over the lost of this money. Hell i
might as well ask an gambler ah pek to be CEO considering how
recklessly OUR money was lost trying to float some western banks?
the ah pek might even earn us cash better than these fools.
