They have the White horse system created to prevent special treatment argument
When they are worried US economy would go down next year so no pay hike..
Mr David Leong, managing director of recruitment firm People Worldwide Consulting, adds: 'Some people might wonder if the GST increase is to pay for the increase in ministers' salaries.'
"He says: 'That would be mischievous. It speaks well of the Government that it chooses to bite the bullet and do it now, instead of raising the GST now and then increasing ministers' pay a year later just to avoid criticism." -
maybe he should had bought this book from our MarketPlace before asking for the raise -
Our system is designed in such a way that the leaders are always right and if they are wrong, the media must not report them and their subordinates should not talk about them.
Several months ago, during the NKF debates, many people were already speculating that the ministers are getting all the peanuts themselves above the table and below the table and not just Durai.
Below the table self-rewards like bonuses were now confirmed and turned out to be correct - 5 months to 8 months' bonuses. With such huge self-rewards given below the table which the private sector people are rarely given if at all, it actually make the ministers' pays extremely high and not just the world's highest. On facts and figures, it would be very sinful for them while getting these golden eggs from the public fund to ask for higher than highest salaries and life-long fees which resulted in double pay packages for many. It is extremely sinful while being paid as seniors or mentors to continue to receive double from the retirement packages which as the world knows, it only payable by normal practice upon retirement.
Who does not want to be paid double for the same work ? -
