KNNBCCB why didn't he volunteer before Gerald Ee submits his report?

[zhihau]

u should pick pinkie loong. at least he is still much younger and won't be in hte coffin so fast unless something unfortunate happen

still need to serve reservists under pinkie leh :(:(:(

 

[Fook Seng]

The PM can't take any power or privilege away from the President. That's in the Constitution concerning Elected Presidency.

That privilege is to say Yes or No. So how can that be termed volunteering? No surprise he still has many ball carriers within ST.

 

[greedy and cunning]

...........Anyway, it's clear that he's not in it for the money. He's already wealthy beyond your wildest imagination, wealthier than LKY.

you drank too much Evian water iszit ? now become naive.

 

[red amoeba]

give me his pay, I volunteer to give up another 20% from the amt remaining..ok boh?

 

[hairylee]

His pensions along could be more than his revised Presidential Salary.
If he is sincere he should just forego his salary.

It is not as if Tony needs the salary. The man is filthy rich. How many donkey years was he drawing ministers/DPMs pay, plus pension, plus GIC chairman's pay, plus SPH chairman's pay, plus he is also a scion of a rich banking clan. How greedy can a guy get?

 

[Khun Ying Pojaman]

Now that the new President has accepted a 51% pay cut, it shows Nathan had been grOssly overpaid for the past donkey years.

Will Nathan step up and cough out the surplus ?

 

[eQuipment]

tony scared the committee propose more than 60% paycut, so he quickly volunteer 51% paycut 1st... in chinese is called 先下手为强

greedy is a disease.


for someone earning 30k 40K a year , if you give him 1 , 2 millions he will say it is enough to last his lifetime.
fro someone earning 900K , 1 , 2 millions a year , you give them another 3 millions they still find it is not enough.
but then , the guy who earned 30k a year got 2 millions suddenly , he will then say it is no enough , he needs more.
it takes high moral , strong self discipline to really say enough is enough.

why people are asking huge amount nowadays ?
possibly it has to do the mind set of the 'educated people'.
now people measure everything in term of $$.
eg ; i make 20 millions for you , so you must give me 5 million because others are not able to do it.
or , i create this favourable environment for you to do business , that why you are making billions. it not quite fair for me
to get 50K a month to enable others to make millions , so i must get millions a year too.

it is really shocking that a building can be valued at billions of dollar.
