This is intended to be provocative and to be taken with a big
pinch of salt...
The government has always justified high salaries for cabinet
ministers because talent is limited in Singapore and only a handful
of people (or rather, a few families) are good enough to entrust
the future of the nation. So our PM's father is MM, his mother is
the head of a major law firm, his brother head of Singtel, sister
is head of NNI etc..
Now that IVF is possible and cloning a likely possibility in
future, perhaps we should clone all our cabinet ministers. This
will resolve our shortage of babies and more importantly, ensure we
have enough talent for years to come. How about using that A*STAR
female scholar who complain about whining NS boys as surrogate
mother...let her perform her national service.
