Benchmarking salaries and everything...
Given tt Ministers desires and wants have been satisfied:
We should bench mark
1: Care for poor eg dialysis patients. Give better gov subsidies then the latest peanut(3/07revision): $200- 300/mth (Per Capita Family Income Level $700/mth to qualify) - [http://www.moh.gov.sg/corp/about/newsroom/pressreleases/details.do?id=44400642] yet dialysis costs $1,911/ mth at NKF (1/07 update)- [http://www.nkfs.org/subsidies.php] isn't there a min quality of life benchmark that the gov might use? Instead of the bull shit "many hands approach, gov should lead with the safety net benchmark whilst VWOs manage finer details (NOT like old NKF that once spent only 10% collections on dialysis), otherwise, SGporeans will die/ be demoralized... Can NKF disclose its subisdy criteria, benchmarks for subsidy? Aust gov is able to subsidise >A$57K/yr [http://www.health.vic.gov.au/renaldialysis/funding.htm#table1] so if my gross inspection is correct, then our 1st class govt might have to learn something about compassion/ leadership from our neighbour.
2: Justice in SG elections: 75.2% of SG ppl are chinese (2006): so to ensure 25% minority rep in Parl: have 20 GRCs of 3 ppl each (one must be non Chinese), 21 Single seat constituencies: NO MORE nonsense 6 person GRCs that allow PAP monopoly power!
3: ... wait for Teo CH further speeches about long term salary plans... KPIs ?
Staying together, Moving ahead; sacrificing some along the way.
"Most people who stop kidney dialysis die within a few weeks. "- http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/Should-I-stop-kidney-dialysis > Medical Information
Aust: transparency in funding guidelines: http://www.health.vic.gov.au/pfg/index.htm
SG: hopless pg on 'gen info': http://www.moh.gov.sg/corp/financing/index.do
The financing philosophy of Singapore's healthcare delivery system ... Government subsidies help to keep basic healthcare affordable. So if only basic health care is afordable, then ministers should only expect 'basic' salaries!
Ps
Snooty is upset today... -
I tell you, whatever they do, you can only expect Instant Noodles type solutions from them.... -
Wow...i heard from radio today,
Some bench-warmer MP questioned the govt whether should they have a system whereby performance should be more stringently reviewed in terms of KPI and stuffs because generally basing performance to GDP growth is to broad.
Teo Chee Hean replied something like, because the duties of ministers are too broad, they should not have a performance review system.
Talking about performance review huh? THERE ISN'T!!
Performance would be based on GDP. who cares about senior citizen, welfare, social and ecology issues?
Our country minister's Key Performance Indicator would be just on GDP
I really think we are living in a very sad country... someone save us.. -
I think it is not right to benchmark themself with the top cream of the society...
As what MM Lee said... the top lawyer are getting around $4 millions a year and this might lead to our ministers joining private sectors instead of public sectors but think...
These are really top lawyers in our society and their salaries depends greatly on their performance be it in consultation to clients or fighting a case for their clients... but what have our ministers do to deserve such high pay?
Unless fighting for lift upgrading or estate upgrading can be counted as one?
or
Appearing once in every 5 years to tell us how good they are being our next government?
or
Helping us to plant more trees?
Furthermore, to benchmark yourself with the best... of course you will get the best... thus it is not fair to the people... so that is the real reason for the GST Hike... -
Btw, in case you guys don't know regarding performance,
if a global economy grows by 5% and your company or GDP also grows by 5%, it means u ARE NOT growing!
It only means u are taking a free ride out of this "5%" growth. Grow 10% if the average grows 5%! That would be considered growth!
In fact in MNCs, if u achieve such mediocre growth, the heads on the board of directors will roll...

Sigh...and there isn't even a KPI for singapore ministers...

The most is that such ministers will be rotated to another ministry, remember Koh Boon Wah (the minister who stanchly defended Durai earlier) the KNF saga happened under his ministry watch? Was he removed? He weas just rotated to another ministry....simple. -
