"Hello...since when all civil servants are over paid.....your
statement is pretty sweeping here...
Back up with proof ..."
I would say that iron rice bowl or bill collector jobs have been
over-glamorised in our civil service with every new recruits
without proven track records of the elite groups enjoying
super-speed promotions and regarded as CEOs comparable to Sim Wang
Hoo who are only bureaucrat people who pass law and put up controls
of all sorts to levy funds and use public monies to provide
expenditures like happening in any clubs or management
corporations.
Such iron rice bowl people have been wrongly treated as talents
with ability to restructure our economy to world class standards or
solve our many problems.
The fact is have they all these years done so and have they even
been talented enough to lower citizens' burdens in paying
everything from A to Z created by all the profiteering schemes to
suck monies from them.
So under such conditions, the $400K - $600K salaries paid to top
civil servants and $80K-$150K paid to middle executives like senior
teachers or senior assistants in schools are therefor grossly
overpaid.
Furthermore many civil servants are nowadays having lesser job
scopes and responsibilities as compared with before with many
traditional duties being taken off them due to more laws being
passed to protect their own enclave.
Our Policemen nowadays do not have such major responsibilities
like apprehending certain crimes happening with private estates
because they have passed such duties to private security
agencies or the management corporation.
Even in immigration offences or assaults the police men would
come and take down particulars and would normally tell victims to
be his own policemen and investigate the wrongs and file their own
private summons on the excuse that these are not seizable
offences.
If they say we need to restructure the economy to value-adding
and technology or knowledge driven model, have they actually done
that?
With only excuses they keep postponing solutions to
problems.
marketing or inventions or innovations to be worth millions.
Propagandas and self-glorifications through the controlled media
have resulted in many of us believing our leaders and top civil
servants are that talented.
They cannot even solve certain urgent problems faced by people
which lower-paid outsource private companies have been solving.
