LKY introduced money politics into the PAP; he cared very much about money! From 1955 to 1973, the PM's salary was $3,500 per month. A significant salary revision in 1973 increased the PM's pay rise to $9,500 monthly, and other ministers' salaries from $4,500 to $7,000. In 2016 values, these amounts were equivalent to approximately $27,742 (annual $360,646, including 13th month) and $20,441 (annual $265,733, including 13th month) respectively. Then PM LKY justified the increases by emphasising the need to attract qualified individuals to govt service, stating that ministerial salaries needed to be competitive with private sector earnings. He later reiterated this point in 1994, contrasting his generation of leaders with future politicians, who might be motivated by different factors i.e. $$$.

The MIW must pay homage to LKY; he introduced "money politics" to the ruling party where those who wish to earn a fortune may do so by "serving" the people.Less than two days to the 10th anniversary of 'Get Well Soon', the porlumpars will have a field day paying 'tribute' to Papa Lee.

When Mrs Lee had a stroke in 2003, LKY praised S'pore Airlines for fitting out a plane with 2 intensive-care nurses, 2 doctors, oxygen and a drip to bring his wife back to S'pore, despite a British doctor telling them it would be better if she stayed in London to recover. "We weighed the odds and decided to take the risk," LKY said. His wife recuperated at SGH. I assure everyone that this level of VVIP treatment from the public sector is only reserved for LKY and the Lees.

We need more LKY coins, dollar notes, stamps, toys, musicals and exhibitions.
Instead of a Labubu, youths should attach a LKYbubu to their handbags and backpacks.

So Ong Beng Seng wanted to help S'pore too by offering LKY a substantial discount so the then PM wouldn't demand for more pay to make that purchase?
Thats right, both are great men who contributed a lot to make Singapore great!
Even Isawaran also a great man who love Singapore, thats why he work so hard to get Bernie Ecclestone to give Singapore F1.
Even Isawaran a pure hearted man, have to pretend to be greedy so he can mix in with Business crowd, pretending to accept prostitutes , bribes. He did not piak the prostitutes but just pretend only.
