Ministers' High Pay

There is a huge controversy going on about ministers' high pay. I'm sick and tired to read articles relating to this. I think it is meaningless to argue why ministers are earning so much. I don't really care how much the ministers have earned. I think they have done a fairly good job, at least Singapore is still considered a safe country for now. I just felt that Singapore ministers have becoming more and more aggressive, where has the democracy gone to? No longer as simple as they used to be.

True, some ministers are born with silver spoon but others have earned so much that is because they have learnt to use their brain wisely... That's how rich people get richer and poor people get poorer... Some poor people always like to blame rich people for being rich but not knowing how to change their mindset and try looking for other alternatives... They always blame themselves and other people for not helping them... But they never realised that they are the ones should be changing...

I always believe only the strongest will survive in any kind of environment... We need to wait for opportunity, see it and capitalise on it. Don't work for money, let the money work for you and the returns will be triple fold...

On the other hand, I also can't help but to think what is the hidden agenda behind this releasing of ministers' high pay. Why does the government want to know let his civilians that they are getting such a high pay... Don't tell me that we are in a democratic society; don't talk to us like we are 3-year-old kids. The hidden agenda could be they want to have that 20% more increment in their payroll.

I felt that every time they want to do something "funny", they will released some bad information first, then they will say that it is because of the people. Start to give us incentives to pacify the nation. I'm sure they already knew how people will be react strongly against it. They just want to do it because they knew that Singaporeans have no say in every decisions they made. Singaporeans will just simply complain and move on with our life. Whether is really because of the nation, only their "self-conscious" will know it.

Common' money is never enough in a greed's man eyes. We all know that. If the ministers sincerely want to help the nation, don't talk to us about their own pay increment, don't talk to us that increase of GST every now and then, don't talk about increasing the "quality of life" when its own people are struggling and worried if their tiny little "cashew nut" pay is enough for them to survive. Stop doing all the "good deeds" only when they need votings for the coming election. Don't talk about democracy to us when they only allow us to speak "politically correct" answers and speeches at the Speakers' Corners.

Because we are not blind, we have sharp eyes to see!
