maurizio13 SG Just wondering are the positions of MM and SM permanent positions in our Singapore political system? How does one get to be MM and SM? When the old man kicks the bucket; who is going to be the next MM and SM? Are the positions of MM and SM temporary positions? What part does MM and SM play in our political system? "IF" the opposition wins the election, do they need to appoint MM and SM?
maurizio13 SG He looks quite frail recently, I question his ability to last through these 5 years. Personally I have nothing against him, I just don't like his way of suppressing opposition who disagree with his policies. In chinese they have a saying about, how assets and businesses acquired from forefathers won't last more than 3 generations.
eyebuzz SG As elder statemen, can't they contribute in the gahmen without receiving any pay at all? Setting fine examples in the spirit of 'volunteerism' would definitely connect with the people...

[/b]Maybe they should peg his pay to retirees working in Macdonalds, because that is what retirees get.
maurizio13 SG Pass it down to who? He definitely won't last 10 years; so the post is going to be vacant till the next generation of Lee comes up?
eyebuzz SG Well, ministers' ain't pegged to NS Men's, so doubt it... it is better if they want volunteerism to flourish in Sin City they should set examples instead rather than be paid at all. If they can't set examples .... heh...
