Why should it be right to pay anyone on a scale which is grossly excessive by any rational standards adopted by their counterparts anywhere else on this planet (including countries whose GDP significantly dwarfs your beloved regime's)?More pertinently, on what basis are you assuming these "top executives" are every bit as capable as the "similar level executives" (whose achievements are perfectly transparent and mandates completely accountable to their boards) in the "private sector" when their mandate is effectively self-given?

Imagine telling your boss, "I can get paid more in another company than working in your company."

...or the CEO telling the shareholders... you don't pay up (GST, ERP) we will send to police to your house and get the court to issue you a warrant of arrest.
...and persecuting other candidates for his (CEO) post...

Even AFTER a 19% pay cut, our PM is STILL the highest paid minister of the world as compared to the salaries of 7 world leaders COMBINED.
Singapore officials claimed that high salaries to retain talented (really?) individuals and to prevent corruption.
How does the government of other countries retain talented individuals and prevent corruption then?

Singapore Ministers are not corrupt, they don't work for money, they work for the people.

I wonder if any of the foreign PMs or Presidents have asked our PM in private how come he earns so much more than them.

Don't think they dare ask, I mean won't they feel humiliated, I certainly would.

Some of the comments claim that there is such a thing.
Maybe planted by incumbent party to add legitimacy to his comments?

You tell them if we didn't have a PM and ministers with million dollar salaries, you would be working as a maid in HK cleaning your staffs' apartments.

Judging from the disparity in paychecks, Barack Obama with his presidency in Harvard Law Review, magna cum laude and professorship in law would seem subservient to LHL.
I wonder with LHL intellectual prowess.
Did he give any insightful advice to Barack Obama on how to solve the financial crisis?
Also
Would Barack Obama ROTFLHFBAO thereafter?

i bet the other PMs of the world are writing to our gahmen's HR dept. to look for a new job. :D

Obama says "Yes, we can"
Our PM says, "Sure, but those are just words you utter in America. In Singapore, Yes, we can really means yes, we can"
