The PAP can continue to trim and prune political salaries, but it will not placate many Singaporeans. Even if the current ministers volunteer to work for free, there will be a substantial number of Singaporeans baying for blood because there is no point in having something for free if it’s perceived as useless and being a deadweight.
Whether political ministers are paid $1 or $10 million a year doesn’t really matter; what matters is whether they are delivering the goods, and the PAP certainly has to do more to convince Singaporeans of its value. Cutting current salaries is not the solution.
