I&#039;m pissed off that my prime minister&#039;s getting S$3.1 million this year
Type:

Description:
S$3.1 million = �1.04 million = US$2.048 million.

That&#039;s right, he&#039;s going to be paid that much. The rest of the government&#039;s getting hefty pay rises too.

Invite as many Singaporeans as you can! We can&#039;t stop them giving themselves a peanut&#039;s raise, but they can&#039;t do anything to us just because we&#039;re expressing our annoyance at this...

		<description>Obviously one may be lead to conclude that with that kind of obscene salary,  one of the President&#039;s main task would be to cover up whatever dirty linen that might otherwise be exposed to the public.  No wonder the President&#039;s application needs the approval of the Emperor.

Otherwise it defies logic to pay the President&#039;s job that kind of money.  Just think,  how much do you think you have to pay an assasin to do the dirty job ?</description>

		<description>Finally, now PM Lee can use his salary to buy all the mee siam stalls in Singapore, JB, Batam, and some say the rest of the world. Oh yah, he can force all the mee siam stalls to add hum too. So that when he visit the mee siam stalls he own, he can tell them &quot;mee siam mai hum please&quot;</description>

most of them have enough money to be recycled( live life all over again) -  several times for some even. the real test of leadership now is for them to give up their wages( since they don&#039;t need it anyway) and then spread their wages out to supplement  the needy wages(put their money where their mouth is they really want to help instead of through useless and bias policies).

it is time they lead by example for the rich to follow and change the course on constantly raising human currency to restoring the dignity of the human soul.

it is time to break the power of greed of the elites and contain the wage disparity between the rich and poor - in tangible form.

at least for a start.

my guess is they probably love  money more than the job. remove money from the equation and the love for the people( truly working for the interests of everybody instead of a few) will also goes out the window!

now, should money then be the incentive for being...civilized and good?

that&#039;s the.. ahem...million dollar question!</description>

		<description>Come to think of it, Singaporeans indeed have to pay for compassion, care and welfare from their leaders, how come they are so hard-hearted?</description>
