Do you worry your Minister 'run road' with your money?
-
Yes, better give our ministers what they want...........the alternative would be Corruption........now we don't want corrupted ministers do we?
so pay lor..........and then I can sleep at night, knowing the ministers will not run away with my CPF money......
So if you want good night's rest, pay what they want.........otherwise, how to sleep at night?
Do you worry your Minister 'run road' with your money?

-

-

You mean after we pay the ministers what they demand, they still can get corrupted?
Whoa - this one very scary one........ pay "look head" monery, still got no warranty on the product.
Then how? Maybe can outsource to Hong Kong or New Zealand = cheaper Ministers, but just as good, if not better.......
No wonder some people say "the love of money is the root of all evil"
Can we really find in Singapore 'minister calibre' people who has little love for money? maybe cannot anymore.........pui........ -
Nah....
Wrong reference liao.
They won't run away with the $$, they will WASTE the money to pay some fines.... -
they wun run one.
so greedy, muz milk for all wus we're worth ma. -
Whoa....tonight how to sleep?
I won't be at peace until Monday when they talk cock about this matter in Parliament.....then maybe I can get some answers.....and some peace of mind....
meanwhile.....pui....especially to corrupted prone politicans.... -
my advice to Doc Ng eng hen and bala krishnan and balaji.
if you want more millions dollars please go back to medical practice.
that way you can better help singapore by milking those rich indonesians, phiipinos anc create more wealth for our country.
we dont need to pay them millions of dollars to suggest we need to build a casino. C ten years ago a coffee shop uncle has long suggested that singapore need a casino so he dont travel to batam and genting.
my FOC suggestion, we shoud earn more foreign reserves by having a legalise prostitution resort with vast choices all over the world.
second
, legalise drug trafficking and impose 300% 400% tax. that would bring in another billions of dollars, hopefully enough to fill the filthy pockets of our ministers. -
You shouldn't have to worry. We're like the proverbial goose that lays golden eggs. However incompetent they are, they would not be so stupid as to kill this goose by absconding with the money.

The present scenerio is just like the peanuts organisation.
Typical Animal Farm, where the elite monkeys think that they should be paid more peanuts.
The old man never realised one thing.
If these poodles want to move on, they will move on.
As for the rest of the poodles, why would they want to move on if they can get their retirement pension ?
No a single peasants even contested about the monkeys getting double doses of peanuts after they passed 55.
That is why the oldies still staying around to get more money.
So much for non-corruption. -
*@*$ lah.. you think they'll run away?
bloody get 7 figure amount (tax free) for doing next to nothing and after a couple of terms get a 7 figure pension (tax free) ?
run away still got so much money? still got the free perks? still got to worry about where the next lot of $$$ going to come from? -
if a minister places so much value on monetary rewards to prevent them from being corrupted, i wonder how corruption resilience they are in the face of billion dollar bribes.
-
one only needs to read the book "The Confessions of an Economic Hitman" to see the gravity of your statement...
basically, corporations will not hesitate to do that if they can reap higher profits... and they have done so... so many times it boggles the mind..Originally posted by NewAge:if a minister places so much value on monetary rewards to prevent them from being corrupted, i wonder how corruption resilience they are in the face of billion dollar bribes. -
true, but many are now regretting it...home depot paid over us$100mil to their previous chief whom they sacked for a poor job, ford is paying $24mil to a guy whom they are replacing just after 4 months....Originally posted by the Bear:one only needs to read the book "The Confessions of an Economic Hitman" to see the gravity of your statement...

so you see, paying top dollar doesn't mean having top talent....lky says self-sacrifice is an admirable sentiment...but then again it must be a virtue this govt needs to instill....at the end of the say, a single person with absolute dedication is worth more than an army with greedy ambitions.... -
frankly, i don't care if the corporate mofos screw themselves and the corporations.. however, if you read the book, you'd find that the corporations go into countries "in need of economic assistance" which are usually run by despotic dictators and lend them a crapload of cash.. putting the country in debt which they have no hope of repaying...
then the strip-mining of the country starts.. with "concessions" and political sodomy..
the despots do not care and usually the "economic assistance" go into their bank accounts anyway...
they've also taken down governments closer to home.. Suharto was one of them.. and so was Sukarno...
again, it comes back to this.. if the present gabrament's "loyalty" and all that is so easily bought by cold hard cash, what if say, a Zaibatsu or something like that comes and drops a huge wad of cash... would they be bought out?Originally posted by countdracula:true, but many are now regretting it...home depot paid over us$100mil to their previous chief whom they sacked for a poor job, ford is paying $24mil to a guy whom they are replacing just after 4 months....

with the so call pay they getting, i not worry. run with the pay we pay them is ok with me.
"run away" or some may like it as bleed away our money in SG reserve is a thing i am more worried.
i was thinking how the balance sheet look like if it was reveal.
i pray to my GOD, please dun let LKY die now till i cash out, (technically, i am out) -
actually, i'd rather they run away with a wad of cash...
then it's good riddance to bad rubbish -

Why run like David Rasif, who now must always be careful.
Remember Ferdinand Marcos, very low pay, I think he never bothered to collect his pay. Till today they do not know where the billions vanished to. -
the question is how can They sleep at night..
-
I think there was a quote from one MP saying that he wrote an email to the PM in the wee hours of the morning and he got a reply immediately.Originally posted by mistyblue:the question is how can They sleep at night..
And he wondered if the PM ever slept.
Does that answer your question?
