Ministers are ministers. We elected them we face the music. The
civil service is not instrumental in lowering cost of living etc.
They have to suffer the same taxations and suffering as the rest
and the take the brunt from people ignorant of their roles. And
pray...are you aware how little the average civil servant's bonus
is compare to the top?

So as a service, it has failed miserably to solve people's
problems. This is despite the fact that our civil service is paid
the world's highest salaries for bill collector and policing - even
higher than presidents and prime ministers of many countries.

Once again you choose not to differentiate between ministers and
the civil service. Majority of them get lesser than those working
in the commercial and banking sectors.
However I did point out that the lower-ranking civil servants like
the clerical staff are over-paid.
Can you justify your claim? Can you produce the data to verify
your statements? If you can't it is just pure hogwash.
So it is up to our talented ministers to realize that there is
something wrong in what they are doing in the latest proposal to
pay the ministers even higher salaries.
Again you cannot differentiate between ministers and the civil
service.
These civil servants who are [b]under-worked and over-paid include
the clerical staff, the cleaners and security
guards.

As usual give me the statistics to prove this. I don't see many
millionaire cleaners and clerical staff.
The overpaid and under-worked are the ministers and the grades A-G
civil servants who are mostly pushing pens and carrying out
instructions but fearing to make changes.
Are you a civil servant Robert? Do you know their job scope
before making such fantastic claims? Please substantiate your
claims with facts rather than push unverified thoughts from your
fingertips to the screen.
