$7.5K per day

if you are good enough to run singapore well and bring it to what it is today from small village and have the trust of most singaporean.... you can ask for more than $2.7mil.... you will get it. don't just look at the $$ now, think of what are the contributions. What if that guy who named us "little red dot" was the one who run singapore for the past 30 years? maybe SG will be so poor and has no money to pay him $2.7mil a month.....2.7mil rupiah maybe.
think, think, think.
DON'T harp on this crap again -- "...bring it to what it is today".
Whatever good he has had done, I believe we have thanked him and repaid him ENOUGH. He is like GOD here for the last FIFTY YEARS or more.
What else does he want? Maye he wants to be like Shih Huang Di....get some medicine to live forever and thus enjoy forever.
And about the little red dot story........do you think he can survive ONE MONTH in the kind of political situation in THAT country? Man create circumstances, circumstances create man.........nobody owes anybody anything. Fade away. Let others move on, for better or for worse. -
Firstly, let me state that I'm neither anti-LKY nor anti-government by starting this discussion thread. I'm just a citizen expressing a very valid concern about how our tax money is being utilised.
Secondly, I feel that it is not morally wrong to ask questions about how millions of tax dollars are being spent by public officers....in a truly democratic country (which our consitution seems to suggest.....), one citizen need not join any political party in order to reflect his concerns to fellow citizens. During election time, my MP said something about him being attentive to citizens' concern......shouldn't this hold true too, after the elections?
Thirdly, haven't the government always been advocating that we should have a more "participative community". Well...I'm doing just that by putting the salary of our political appointees on discussion..... -
Personally as a employee.. i prefer to work in the private sector. So if the public sector isnt gonna be attractive, who wants to go into it?
But as a taxpayer.. it annoys me tt i'm funding a higher civil servant pay.
There's no absolute.. juz have to find a balance n compromise i guess.
Now.. i doubt anyone of us can actually find the middle ground as well. So.. bobian lor..

You have to bear in mind that when we talk about public service, there is not just 1 single kind of employee:Originally posted by Gackt247:Personally as a employee.. i prefer to work in the private sector. So if the public sector isnt gonna be attractive, who wants to go into it?

Firstly, there there are the "normal civil servants (such are nurses, teachers, clerical staff, etc)" who are not paid extraordinarily. These are the ones who do most work but get paid the least.....
And then there are the "top civil servants" such as the perm secs, Administrative Officers and directors, etc....who are paid much more than the abovementioned.
And lastly, there are the political appointees, who are now suggesting that their million dollar plus annual salary raised by another million.
---------------------------------------
I personally have nothing against raising the salary of the 1st category of civil servants because what they do in their daily work is open to public scrutiny. But for the last 2 categories, the citizens of this country deserve to know why it is justifiable for their pay to go up as multiple millions of dollars will be expended....at the very least, greater details about their job scopes and responsibilities should be made public knowledge. -

That means that LKY earns about S$7.5 K per day ........wah, that's a lot of moolah. I wonder what he does per day to justify that amount of money?
S$2.7 million per year.
S$2 700 000 / 12 = S$225 000 per month
S$225 000 / 30 = S$7 500 per day [/b] -
some correction on the sum on per day... 8hrs per day, 5 days week. 8X5=40hrs. 52 weeks a year... 52X40=2080hrs.Originally posted by Ibram Gaunt:From News:

it should be
SGD $2.7M / 2080hrs = SGD $1298.0769
SGD $1298.0769 X 8 = SGD $10384.615
it is getting SGD $10384.615 per day.
