Well... since decision/policy making is not their competency at all, I believe the system should be outsourced/off-shored to india. And perhaps we would get a better democratic system and better policies and decisions being made for the people. Besides, India is the largest democratic system you can find, they would know a thing or two about running this small country with such obedient people compared to their giant system, complex and heterogenous country.Originally posted by lwflee:What the F? Those people are paid 13 000 bucks per month?!
Man, i hope they put in plenty of overtime. Esp Lee Hsien Loong.
Edit: If we're paying that sort of money, can i have some foreign talent please?
I hear their great and highly innovative.
outsource to india, might as well outsource it to the inmates at changi prison - they will fleece and rip us off cheaperOriginally posted by mistyblue:Well... since decision/policy making is not their competency at all, I believe the system should be outsourced/off-shored to india.

Besides, it would propably save us lots of $ by outsourcing and we can actually get the money to where it is really needed such as charaties. In addition, allow us to build people/things/service/products that serve a purpose rather than the sole purpose to prove some stupid point to become a eventual eye sore and high maintenance costs. Then during 7th month, we can get these bunch out from the closet for some ghostly entertainment which is really making full use of their real competency.
On a serious note, I wonder how long can the common person stand being treated like a fool. Perhaps the call of other land is ringing ever clearer because there is really no point to ever fight against such a devious system. I have come to accept that being called a quitter sounds better than being called a fool to support this system and oppression.
You think there is no corruption in Singapore?Originally posted by KumSioJui:outsource to india, might as well outsource it to the inmates at changi prison - they will fleece and rip us off cheaper
india may be democratic system but corruption very high and very rife
I never said there is no corruption in singapore, I always believe that every country also has corruption, as long as the majority of human beings like wine women song money and covert thy neighbour's things, 'bakeesh' is here to stay.Originally posted by mistyblue:You think there is no corruption in Singapore?
Over in India corruption is overt and everyone knows it and deals with it.
Here, its all beautified and people thinks there is no corruption. We cannot handle or question when we do not know about them.

1 mth = $13 000Originally posted by Mozart:NMPs do not receive an allowance unlike elected MPs who get $13,000 per month tax free. This is to ensure that those who are put up as NMPs do not do so for the monetary reward.
That's the biggest joke when the local govt keep pushing the business people to head overseas when they had clearly been cheated by the china shenzhen case. Anyways, we have so many hypocrites all over.Originally posted by KumSioJui:I never said there is no corruption in singapore, I always believe that every country also has corruption, as long as the majority of human beings like wine women song money and covert thy neighbour's things, 'bakeesh' is here to stay.
the common man here don't know it exists and never seen it rear it's ugly head, those trained in business schools and university are up in their high heels and believe everything is perfect and beautiful but it's there only difference in singapore it is more subtly done among the older generation thats why most of our younger business "enterprenuers" (if you like) go to china, india and elsewhere and get a rude shock of their lives.
