Really, they should be axed if not performing, there is no good reason to keep them and continue to pay them the highest salary in the world for ministers. Should adopt a hire and fire style of management to these people.

The PAP has come a long way from the days where they had a PM, less than 10 cabinet ministers and same number of parliamentary secretaries in 1959.

Today, they have a PM, SM, MM, more than 10 cabinet ministers (with some without portfolio), same number of ministers of state (some of them "senior") and parliamentary secretaries (some of them "senior").

With the increasing number of these people, that is no wonder they are becoming more aggressive to find ways to earn $$$ out of the peasants. Perhaps, LHL is really not capable and efficient so he needs more manpower to help him.

What can Singaporeans do? Ask opposition to come forward and propose the abolishment of unnecessary positions and strip thier positions right away? Wait till old men age away? Or wait for a day when PAP is being voted out?

Another questions. Who have the power to strip this unnecessary positions, are they in a position to do that, do they have the ability to do that? Those who have power to do that, are they seeing it unnecessary or are they in line with the old men?

Aiya, of course like that one mah.

Those pioneers minister end up will get a position like MM or SM, because they are the pioneers! I bet plus chop ar, in the next 10 years, we'll have "deputy minister mentor" position for SM Goh. Laughing

They should have the spirit of sacrifying of repaying their tributes to Singapore by providing free services. Instead of still..................drawing ridiculously high salaries from tax payers. Haven't they got enough to maintain their twilight years?

What's the morale standing of these two men? Mr. Green Shocked Confused
