Worker Party's suggestion for Minister pay.
-
Well yesterday at their AMK Rally,Mr Low Thia Kiang made a point in his speech which i think is reasonable.The suggestion is that minister's pay be pegged to a multipler on what the lowest 20% income bracket people earn
Eg if the multipler is x100 if the lowest 20% income earner earn $800 per month,then using this multipler,minister should get x100 = $80,000.If these lowest income bracket earn more,the ministers will earn more to reward them for policies well ran.
This way,it is really staying together,moving ahead (PAP's slogan for AMK GRC campaign),and not some staying together,stay the same or even move back while others who are better off and the PAP moving ahead.This way there is the encouragement for minister to really think about the poor and to help them and to help themselves too,win-win situation,and it will make these ministers to be accountable to the people for their policies and not just get rediculous high salaries month after months even if their policies turn out to be failures.
So what do you guys think of this? -
Sounds okay but who is to do the computations? Statistics from...2 yrs ago?
-
Please lah, PM and his Ministers worked so hard..must increase more..Expensive than can be good.
Give more, can consider $10M a year each. So that we get see better results. -
MOM and income tax department will have all the statistics lah...like what is the 20% lowest income group salary etc.
