Actually its not hard to believe that the SAF is paying its top
men 30k per month. We can make comparisons with other branches of
the civil service. it has been claimed (by Francisseow i think NOT
SURE) that in the early to mid 90s, the Chief Justice earns about
1.2+ million per year excluding benefits. With inflation, and the
trend towards higher salaries in lieu of phasing out benefits, we
can be sure that his salary is much much higher. Now 1.2 million
works out to be about 100k per month. With that in mind, the 30k
sounds about right for a person in the lower echelons of top
management.
