How much we should pay our backbencher yesmen MPs?
-
Hmm.. anyone knows how much Nominated MPs are paid?
-
MPs given pension when they leave the post? I am of the opinion that only full-time MPs should be paid a monthly pension, not the part-time ones.
-
Pay them at least half of a minister pay package, then you can ask them to work on full time. We may not be able to secure their services if you asked them to quit their existing practise to get the existing pay package. -
MP salary is $16,875/ mthÂ…. Vote wiselyÂ….
Possibly $17,186/ mth.

Pay them 1/2 the Minister pay and concentrate to work as full time MP. We may be able to reduce the total number by half since they are all full time. Better for the residents and singaporean.
Full time MP.. Hooray
Full time MP.. Hooray -
i htink they should not be paid pension at all. not so much anyway, not when their pay was already so high......Originally posted by casefan:MPs given pension when they leave the post? I am of the opinion that only full-time MPs should be paid a monthly pension, not the part-time ones. -
then they will turn elsewhere to get their cash, either way these kulaks hunger for cash. logically speaking shouldn't we pick the lesser of 2 evils?Originally posted by fymk:I am all for the Outcomes and outputs measure
Each time an output or outcome is not achieved - deduct their salary by 10% -
I thought the 'MOTTO' is that we're doing our nation a SERVICE and should only be paid 'ALLOWANCE'...??Originally posted by ditzy:Oh, you mean MPs are paid? I always thought they did it as a service for the nation. -
Actually, since we are protecting our country interest such as terrorists, invader..I was thinking why not issue us a M16 for all singaporean NS man with 2 box of live rounds so that we can be on all time defence.Originally posted by Devil1976:I thought the 'MOTTO' is that we're doing our nation a SERVICE and should only be paid 'ALLOWANCE'...??
Then all terrorists and invaders can be cleared on the spot..Need no allowance to ask us to carry out this national service. We are obliged to do so with pride.
