19 percent only ?

Oh comon. How did they derive the 19 percent ? High time they reveal the benchmark for calculations.

What we need is a good dose of transparency and accountability.

Going by the losses made by Temasek and the GLC which we will never know, their paycut hardly compensate for it.

In private sector, heads already started to roll, pay cut for ministers is not even close to any punishment for all the losses made in throwing monies away.

They upped their salary early this year by 33%. Imagaine $1 by 33% will be $1.33. Then down it by 19% yesterday will make it $1.0773. So they still got a 7.73% increase this year for running the biz to the ground!

And of course they will blame it on the external factor that causes this. But what if the next upturn comes? They already told the peasants they will move their pay to 88% of their "nonsenscial top 7 occupation" scale.

Ah Goh during his reign did what LHL doing now. Donate portion to charity, now it's time he got "pay back". LKY was also drawing lowly pay during his time. And now he is collecting 2 times: SM and MM.

But I pity those old guards that retired getting lesser than them for building the foundation yesteryear.

How much money do Clown Prince really need?

If he is serious, lead by example, take a 50% pay cut and he can still live like a king.

With the timely elimination of the estate duty tax he and his siblings will inherit everything and not one cent need to go to the country.

If you donate a big part of your salary to charity in reality you have a bigger take home pay. That's what PM did. Go figure!

I fail to see the resentment. Singaporeans are getting value for money for their leaders. No country can get such excellent leaders so cheaply.
