Vikram Nair's English diction can be considered very good, just a couple of grades below mine. However, the substance of his content left much to be desired.

I'm not in Parliament. However, in Parliament, he's still no match for Show Mao, whether in diction or in content.

I think there was some confusion between VN and GG as to what was definition of an "entry grade minister". VN may have referred to a Senior Minister of State, but GG thought it referred to the most junior Cabinet Minister. Indeed, ministers can come in from both ranks. Eg Chan Chun Sing as Acting Cabinet, while Tan Chuan Jin is a MOS.

VN's question on suggesting an alternative proposal, even before the original proposal was released, was a silly question.

And I think before we accuse GG of being non-transparent, we have to check if there was an undertaking or oath of secrecy the Committee compelled all MPs to take not reveal what they told the Committee. This is because such information, if duly released, would reflect the level of receptivity of the Committee and whether the act of collecting feedback was for show or a few ideas were adopted after consideration. So it's common for government committees to practice such undertaking or oath.

If this was the case, VN becomes doubly silly because as one of the MPs approached by the Committee to give ideas, he would have known about this undertaking or oath.

In the end VN only won on eloquence and smooth delivery while GG who spoke like an average broken-English Singaporean handled the questions well.

There has been a confusing set of messages coming out from WP on the salary issue. It also differs materially from the WP comments from the release of the report from the Committee.

What Vikram was doing is the classic act of giving GG enough rope to hang himself. Vikram must have sensed the confusion and decided to ask some exploratory questions. I am not blaming GG but I suspect that WP must have got caught by prior proposal raised before GE2011 and have been modifying it since GG and CSM came on board.

These are the occasional hazards of politics in parliament and people like GG and CSM will learn from it. I recall JBJ getting hung by WKS of all people over teleco charges in a similar manner. WKS sensed that JBj had not done his homework and was not sure what the actual line should be and began questioning him.

Vikram Nair is a sad case, he cannot even ask a simple question in English properly. Make other people 'paiseh'.

Using my perfecto En-ga-lish...the question should be: You got submit your proposal to the committee or not? Why you that time dun say, now then say?
