Some PRC Chinese have parents in high ranking position in the
government. I know of quite afew of these students. Makes me wonder
how they can afford things better than me since the pay for the
President is just less than $1,000 a month. The parents must have
alot of GuanXi (connections).
Who gets what?

Switzerland: Ruth Dreifuss - USD230,000 pa

Salaries for the Singapore President, PM and Ministers salary is
abit different from the current pay (this article was written some
time back), because our PM Lee Hsien Loong just increased his
salary, the president's and Ministers salary another 2 million.
