When Khaw made the statement, he was talking down condescendingly to the lesser mortals. It is a question of affordability for most people. Despite the millions that he has amassed as a top mandarin and cabinet minister, a natural aristocrat like HSK will get the best treatment at taxpayers' expense. Khaw is just another highly-paid PAP mouthpiece. All his zen-like persona and Buddhist yearnings is a façade. Black-hearted and money-faced.
