Firstly, I will admit Im not a very political knowledgable
person on deep politics, but better than average.
But the 1mil increase of minister salaries from 1.2mil to 2.2 is
madness. Come on, the justification for the ministers salary
increase is benchmarked by parliment, which is ironically made up
of ministers? this makes no sense.
Are we paying them more to continuously benchmark their salaries 1
mil higher after every election???
Plus dont forget there are 88 ministers. So that is +$88 mil for
the ministers alone.
The other sad thing is that money should be one of the last things
on a minister mind. Serving the country should be his number one
priority. If the pay is not good enough for the minister, he is
free to leave, (and why should he in the first place when the pay
in sg of our ministers is one of the highest in the world.)
if he does leave, it shows he has no loyalty to the country in the
first place.
And I thought the justification of the gst hike of taxing the poor
to help the poor was bad enough.
