Actually like the benchmarking of ministers' salaries to few
lottery winning lucky CEOs in the private sector, it all got
started as an issue when government wants to get more pays by
selective comparison.
There is now no need for proper argument with this kind of
comparison as it is about use of power. So what is wrong if SIA
pilots also want this kind of benchmarking. In fact their
benchmarking is more reasonable being industry to industry or
apple-to-apple and not trying to ask for a first-prize winning
ticket in the big sweep.
When government says it wants to improve the economy or globalise
it must outsource local jobs to foreigners. Actually citizens find
that many foreigners are not talents but come in to learn or
under-study local's talents on the jobs to replace them with a few
dollar cheaper.
So if we have this kind of outsourcing going on to replace
citizens, government actually is telling citizens they can
outsource ministers' jobs as it will mean great saving of at least
$23 million of public taxpayers' monies while getting more
competitive and talented ministers with good track records in
turning around economy.
What is wrong with this kind of outsourcing? Many countries have
employed foreign mentors who are more action-oriented who will
solve problems rather than talking about all the talents without
improving lives of ordinary citizens.
It is not small amount to save the $23 million per year over-paid
miniters' salaries as to citizens' knowledge many Finland's good
ministers are willing to be paid less than half of what our
ministers pay themselves against people's strong objections.
These foreign talented foreign talents will help our citizens to
improve their lives so why not? A white cat can catch mice so can a
blank cat.

You want to claim our ministers are properly voted by the people
and so are entitled to write their own pay cheques as they like
comparable to the few lucky lotter winning CEOs in the private
sector without proper evaluation and interview then you must
justify their voting by the citizens through proper election and
proper voting process.
Tell me which one of the ministers have been properly voted by the
people. Name me the ministers who have got into office through
proper voting by the citizens which has been fairly and not GRC
voted into office through dubious blockage of their right to vote
for best individual candidates of their own choice.
Have there been proper election or fair contest all these years
since the block election system with the excuse to field a slate of
candidate for racial harmony.
There are many other ways to field candidates for racial balance.
By doctoring with the one-man-one-vote system and prevent citizens
from voting the best single candidates of their choice by making
candidates to join up in a GRC blocking before they can be voted ,
it is simply an interference with their rights to put up their best
individual candidates of their choice for election.
Without fair election where ministers are properly voted they do
not truly represent the choice of the people. GRC has prevented
citizens from exercising their right to put up the candidates of
their free choice and it is a gross interferences by blockage of
individual candidates of people's choice.
So many of our so-called talented ministers have simply walked over
without any contest because individual best candidates are unable
to stand for election unless they are able to form blocks of
candidates.
Are they chosen or elected by the people or are they simply
gerrymandered into office without being voted by the people in
actual casting of votes.
Do you call such a election election at all? Is such an election
legitimate reflecting the actual free choice by the people.
Without proper voting are they sanctioned to make such decisions
like receiving or paying themselves world's highest salaries and
still claiming these are not enough and still claiming that they
have the mandate of people to do so.
Which of the elected presidents were also properly elected with
people being free to duty to choose the candidate best able to look
after our reserve independently without fearing the ruling party
power-play to prevent him from compiling the asset lists as has
happened to ex-president Ong Teng Cheong.
