Entry superscale pay=$350K to $390K per year??

sure some of you have already read yersterday's TODAY papers regarding this...some depressive thoughts:

(1.) What positions are entry level superscale in the Civil Service? Are they professionals in any sense?

(2.) Why would anyone pay so much to another to be an "administrator" at the micro level? (The analogy of ministers being paid high to avoid corruption does have some truths depending on your working environment...) I definitely would not pay an employee $30K a month to somebody else to make "decisions" and pencil push...

(3.) Since our ministries are always looking for fresh grads with honours or masters, does it mean they will be paid SS salary at certain points in their careers?

(4.) How many SS pay receivers are there currently?

(5.) Comparison: A entry level registrar or associate consultant is drawing about $13K per month, and he has to do a 12 day block (straight days without off) once every month... a nurse work 6 days a week and a senior staff nurse draws about $3.2K per month...what is the SS job description?

(6.) Assuming 100 SS receivers, and each were to contribute $50K back to society, this 5 million can be put to good use, esp to help the needy...

(7.) So to all Singaporeans out there...stop thinking such issues has nothing to with you..start planning now for yourself and your children...

You need to read the papers again. Common sense will tell you that there is no vocation that pays $350 K for entry level appt. Its entry level at the top scale.

The entry grade for Officers in the Civil Service is Timescale and there are number of grades before you move to superscale. A fresh grad with good upper honours entering the Admin Service is placed in Timescale and not superscale.

I have no doubt that they are overpaid and they are using the private sector who are actual risk takers. They make a loss or mistake and their job goes. There are also market redundancies etc.

it did say entry level superscale...you can go to yesterday's TODAY online papers to see...

This govt has no transparency. There are a number of variations for each rank. The pay scale for an OMS if different from LMS even thought they hold the same rank.
