Last night I nearly smashed the TV when listen to Teo's bullshit on
Minister's Pay justification.
The reasons are weak and contradicting.
Try this, if you have the article where they justifies GST
increase... change all the wording on GST increase and replace it
with minister's pay increase. You'll find that it fits pretty
well.
Yo... because the economy is doing well, it's good time to increase
Minister's pay! How can we increase Minister's pay when economy is
bad. Teoh boh? Because the economy is good, that's why we increase
GST, if not it would be harder to increase GST during bad
time!
Bad time also must increase GST because not having enough money to
spend.
Of coz, bad time also want to increase Minister Pay is more hard.
No Pay cut is already very good.
Don't you all find it strange? Why no one talking about pay cut
formula when the GDP falls below 2%?
When the economy is -5%, would the minister gets a pay cut of 25%?
Or cut $1Million dollar to his pay cheque?
Let's all go to online polls to vote them out. (as though they
bothers)
It is now our system that in good time or bad time, according to
Minister Teo Chee Hean the ministers are entitled to salary
increases. So it is necessary to give themselves the highest pays
when the GST was increased before it is spent on some other
expenses like workfare.
What kind of governance is this - good or bad time ministers were
still entitled to pay increases and when it is good time they will
be quickly given the increases even before any one or the citizens
are entitled to their reliefs.
It is like saying that no one can commit crimes, or take company's
monies and only the ministers can because ministers have waited for
6 years since the last recession and now is the time for them to do
so as soon as GST is increased - workfare or any other schemes can
wait.
So Durai could not take but ministers can take any amount. So CSJ
cannot take any postage stamp to use it to send a thesis for his
wife to university and CSJ deserves to be sacked or jailed or
sued.
So CPIB don't care which case is more serious - ministers taking
any amount of public monies as they like good or bad time - but
will be doubly quick to send any one to jail for miniscule CBT or
corruption.
Do this is called leadership and not mediocrity like that found in
the Denmark or Finland system and our excellent ministers should be
given a free hand to govern the country as they like in this
manner.
Where is the mandate or constitution that give them this right to
reward themselves and receive two salary cheques per month or
supersede their employment contract which already pelt out in the
oaths or contract of appointments.
