1 - pay increment will not solve the problem
2 - we are not facing inflation
3 - we are not facing economic depression
4 - we need more GST
lastly and most importantly, I will still need to draw million dollar salary after i retire

Once a PM retired, he will not be pay anymore, that happen in most countries, they will stand down and perhap get some compensation in a pension system. But our is funny, after PM, got SM, after SM, got MM, then later after MM got SMM...wow! and all are paid more than a PM, cos promoted mah. So instead of paying one PM, we have to pay SM, MM and so on...till they die. Fair or not?Next year Gst Rebate, how much huh??? i want to buy PSP
Why comprain ?A "retired" pensioner.. do nothing but still get paid.
A PM-SM-MM.. still working mah....somemore.. work so hard.. even when wife critically ill.. still can go Russia drink tea leh...
Very hard working people ok ? Pay them million is peanuts.... ofcors to us they look like monkeys lor.

I think uprightness is the most important character for a politician.Surely we wouldn't want to get a Chan Sui Bian.

We need leaders who are caring and concerned for others' welfare and wellbeing. Just be a gentleman and practise good conduct like "do not do unto others what one does not want others to do unto oneself".
The Chinese has a saying "Ji shou bu yi gu shi yi ren".

Lin,
Upholding good simple virtues and values for our politicians to follow in the face of oppressions, hypocrisy and self-glorifications is just as important as taking part in politics.
It is a fact that not everyone is cut out to be a politician and I happen to be one of them. I will support anyone who has such virtues to step into the arena to serve fellow citizens as Chiam See Tong or Sylvia or Low Thia Khiang have done.

Singapore scores the highest among asia countries. If u think singapore is bad, logically other countries in asia r worse
Auckland (5) is the city in Asia Pacific with the best quality of living, followed by Sydney (10) and Wellington (12). Elsewhere in Asia, Singapore (32) ranks two places higher than in 2007, slightly higher than Japanese cities such as Tokyo (35). Hong Kong and Beijing retain their 2007 rankings, respectively 70 and 116 in 2008. Bangalore (140) is India's most highly ranked city followed closely by Mumbai (142). Both have seen a marked improvement in their rankings since 2007. Elsewhere in Asia, Kuala Lumpur ranks 75, followed by Taipei (84), Seoul (86), Bangkok (109) and Jakarta (146). According to the index, Auckland, the city with the best quality of living in Asia Pacific, scores 107.3 while Dhaka, the city with the region's worst quality of living, scores 38.9.

no. politicians need to be liars.
people don't like bad news. tell them bad news and they will link you to the bad news. must be able to present bad news positively.

Which reminds me of something. The Republicans are tax-cut crazy, and loves to lower the tax again and again.
Then again, blindly lowering tax does nothing to help the economy. If the opposition want to lower tax for instance, they need to show that the economy will not be hurt in the long run, and who are they going to tax.
Sometime, a clear solution is needed.

No, you are supposed to run the nation. If not, then he or she is simply wasting tax payer's money by being a poster boy or girl. -

Unfortunately in politics a clear solution means it's something that's clear cut and yet popular with the people.
In a democracy, that tends to be an oxymoron.
What's popular and what's good for the country is rarely the same thing. More often than not, they oppose each other

Exactly, prop 8 and the minority right has always been a huge issue to tackle. The majority by nature loves to discrminate the minority group, and will whin about it even when the government passed a law.
Same goes to tax hikes and tax raise. Lowering tax doesn't solve any real issues at all.
