OK Folks, PM Lee is doing an "Extreme Makeover" for SIngapore. We have been promised a new, improved and more responsive Gov. As part of this "Extreme Makeover" what do you guys want to see. I am not talking about raze the house to the ground and build from start. This is "extreme makeover" - big time reno but house structure still there lah.
Here are my top 6 wants, please add :
1) Ministers pay pegged to average of what other 1st world nations are paid. So for PM Lee, we add Obama, Merkel, Cameron - all first world democractically elected Presidents. Use same metrics for other cabinet positions.
2) How many citizens, how many PR, how many here on work permit, how many gave up citizenship.
3) No more holding back of redevelopment funds for opp wards. Proper MP's office shall be provided for all MP with budget for basic office infrastructure and staffing so as to better serve all the citizens.
4) All top political positions require reporting of net worth and $ be placed into blind trust
5) Increase MP's pay to $20K a month but that is only if MP works full time. If MP wants to keep his current job then he will not be paid.
6) All parliamental proceedings shall be broadcasted 24/7 on a special channel for 1 week after each parliamental meeting. It will have translations in the 4 major languages - for the older folks. All proceedings will available online as part of public record. This will allow people to watch their elected MPs in action, raising issues that are impt to particular constituents.
