last SG · 2008-12-05T20:25:15+00:00

is it me or is the 1st graph comparing GDP a tad unfair?i thought a graph comparing GDP per capita is more fair. singapore 2006 US$31,400 United States...

skythewood SG

GDP per capita doesn't reflect the wealth of every citizen. Look at the gini coeff and u shall know.

Which country is more difficult to manage? Which country has citizens baying for blood all the time? USA or sheep citizens of Singapore?

Come on. If you think you haven't found anything refreshing in this topic, why contribute now? keke Not everyone is like you 24/7, this thread would be good for newcomers to the forum.

US is more difficult to manage.

who can up tariff by 22% and yet make its citizen 'agree'?

Singapore has only close to 4.5million population. Selecting the top few as leaders of the country is really an uphill task And the top few would rather serve and work in a big organisation like General Electric or Windows to earn big money. Who would ever want to serve the people in such a small country? But selecting people from China and America is a real easy task. They have so many able people, how about Singapore? 4.5million, partly make up of foreigners, how to survive like that? High pay will be the solution to retain these talents. Not only high pay, these leaders are selected based on their interest too. Being able and passionate towards politics, they can then be only serve the country with pride and honour.

freedom4ever SG

interest? yeah right. interest in sucking it citizens of their money for their gambling debts. and not to forget their interest in getting their high salaries.

pride and honour? you mean if getting a pay of 500k per year = no pride in their job?
must be a few millions then got pride? then i would suggest he get a salary of 10 billions per year lor. by that time, you see how they squeeze dry its people.

Ed11790 SG

wow sg politian so rich

RoyFang SG

I think he should cut his own salary and donate the rest to us, the people equally after seeing how some families are living from the programme Life Transformers.

soul_rage SG

This is very skewed logic.

Why do you think people would not want to serve in a small country? I do not see your point.

And you agree that to pay a country leader of 4.5million 3-4 times more than the leader of the largest economy in the world is justifiable?

No wonder the PAP can take $$$ from us and eat us inside out, and they can still be in power. It's becoz of people like you who use skewed logic to justify the stupidity of our actions.

I think the chart would look and speak more than words if you can move Singapore to the middle position of the chart.

mlmersrlosers SG

And you believe in this logic from what they had said? I dun get it. You said that getting talent to manage china and america is easy. Have you considered how big these two countries are compared to us? How much work are needed? Do you know how many countries in the world wanted to see the fall of america? They are a powerful country but they had also made alot of enemies along the way.
