...In the region, the minister mentor pointed to the political
flux in Malaysia and Thailand, and said that money politics is at
the heart of problems in many Asian countries. The good thing for
Singapore, he said, is that there is no money politics...
— CNA/so
No money politics.... right.
Explain then, Mr Lee, why are you still in the position of
Minister Mentor and still on the payroll? Why is our small little
country's minsterial pay higher than any other in the world? Why do
you own an S-class Mercedes-Benz complete with chauffeur? Why can
you appear in expensive suits and ties?
Tell me again how there is no money politics.
I don't see U.S officials getting corrupt even though they're
not paid as much as you are, Mentor.
Our ministerial pay is so high, it can be considered democratic
corruption already.
On a sidenote, I wonder what you'll be when the current PM
retires...
...Ministerial Grand Advisor, anyone? 'cuz that's the only way
you'll keep your Mercedes, your BMW, your little expensive toys and
you know it.
