'Why Obama makes less than me', PM Lee explains as he fart

[Hans168]

Mr Lee stressed that Singapore's ministerial pay system was one that works.

Asked whether pay should still be pegged to the private sector given the many candidates taken from the civil service and unions, he replied: 'The reason I can get good people from the Government and the unions is that I have a pay system which is working properly. People do not enter politics to get rich but neither will they enter politics and as a result, they and their family will become poor.'

He added: 'It is something which is not easy to accept emotionally but is the right thing for Singapore. If you want the system to work for the long term, you must be honest about it. What do I pay for? I pay for the importance of the job, and how difficult it is to do...'

The pay system is working properly according to who? Only he and the PAP says it is working properly.I think most sinkies would saythat it is an obscene abuse, and the international community thinks its a joke for their salary to be 7 times more than that of the US president. If I can get paid paid $3 million a year as a politician, how can he say I am not going to get rich as a politics. What kind of contradictory statemtn is that? U mean that he considers someone earning $3 million a year NOT RICH? WTF. SOme student shoudl have mentioned that in the private sector, CEO and executives get fired for losing $billions of their company's money. In fact, they can get fired for 2 quarters of below expectation stock performance. How come there is no such consequence for PAP politicians? This iron rice bowl therefore necessitates a lower pay in exchange for job security.

500 time what a lowly toilet cleaner gets in Singapore!

Is this person so super???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

PM LHL can explain but is up to resident and voter to decide if they are happy with the answer.
