The Foreign Talent MPs can then donate some of their wages to charities as a form of lower wages.
Then we can compare the achievements of these MPs to those of the PAP MPs. Number of working hours clocked, number of meet the people sessions, creative ideas developed etc
I can only say that we must not allow double standard to exist.
If the private sector is having to face competition from foreigners,
who can also become citizens quite fast and easily,
so too should the public sector. I mean they should also enjoy this wonderful feeling.
We must not be so selfish as to limit the wonderful feeling to just the private sector. The hardworking performance orientated public sector should also welcome this competition.
Foreigner cannot work in public sector?
not true. so many projects employ so many many many many many foreigners.
Public sector permanent employees can also be foreigners-turned-citizen. So easy.
Thus, Foreginer can become citizen. There is no problem.
Thus, we must not limit good talents from working as MPs and ministers, in my opine.
I propose we import 100 000 politicians who want to be loyal citizens to serve the people and have never seen before COMPETITION for our poloiticians especially the OPPOSITION which is said to be lacking a few good men.
what do you citizens say? time to beef them up to serve you better? salary hiked already. But I like to see where is my cheese. anyone who can impress me will get my support. As simple as that.
My friends dun wanna wait another 50 long years!
