[AFP] Singapore PM's salary stuns White House official
-
The more I read the more depressed. And I haven't even pass half my life. Hopefully I'll join the other growing fatal cancer victim. No wait! I will fight on! Leave before I reach half my life.
The PAP has built Singapore well. But is this going to be used as ransom for whatever harsh life they bring upon to the less fortunate Singaporeans? Forever???? -

hey, sgforums - politics is a place where many forumers write about their views. most of them are unhappy about the current government. so of course, the more you read the more depressed you become lor. it is all in your mind. be strong in your mind and make up your own judgement. there are always two sides to a coin.Originally posted by Serpent33:The more I read the more depressed.

So many PAP vs 1-3 Opposition
Got $ vs No $
66% support vs 34% support
To add the imbalance in paliarment already so apparent.... yet 66% vote for PAP..... I'm inclined to believe that the 66% are anti democracy ... how to have democracy with kosong opposition
I'm not anti PAP or watever .... if Opposition controls 100% paliarment I'll vote PAP...WHY? cause there must be an equal amount of "power" btwn both parties to ensure ISSUES ARE BEING RAISED..... no issues raised = no facts thrown on the table for us to see? PAP is not corrupt.... yea like how do I know? Who's there to question you......... fed up lol we are a bunch of blind mice chanting "PAP PAP PAP PAP PAP"...... Foreigner : why u chanting PAP? ........ Singaporean : Looks around* got other party to chant meh? Stupid dumb dumb -

You should start a separate thread to discuss this issue, rather than let get it buried here.If you aspire to be a civil service elite, then consider this: http://www.adminservice.gov.sg/

White House officials must be laughing at the idiotic greedy PAP for failing to arrest selamat despite the fact pap is overpaid the world class salary.
Scumbags in white PAP are nothing but hopeless. Good at overpaying themselves but failed to keep selamat at detention centre.
-
what is the use of increasing the salaries and later donate it out.

"If you aspire to be a civil service elite, then consider this: http://www.adminservice.gov.sg/"
Cronies and relatives of LKY clan preferred.

Increase salary, take every month / year.
Donate only once and also who check whether he really donate?

AG Woon wants more lawyers who look beyond financial gains

Walter WoonSINGAPORE: The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) needs lawyers who will look beyond financial gains, and attracting such lawyers is one of the priorities of the new man in charge, Professor Walter Woon.
The new Attorney-General, who has assumed the post this month, also wants to enhance the work of international law within the AGC.
Prof Woon said: "What we hope to engage is altruism and a sense of public duty that some students and lawyers would have. (In) the criminal justice division, we are chronically short. It is hard work and they are under-appreciated by the public."
Another challenge facing the legal sector in Singapore is that of professional upgrading and retraining.
In fact, Prof Woon has been heading a committee that is looking into this area after wide-ranging recommendations were put forth by Judge of Appeal Justice V K Rajah's committee, which looked at further enhancing legal education and the legal sector in Singapore.
The Attorney-General said: "The days when you can pick up an ancient English case and say this is the law in Singapore are long gone. For the lawyers of my vintage where we didn't have computers, we were used to books.
"For the new ones who know how to use IT, they have an advantage but they have to sift out information that is useful - and that requires you to be learning every year, every week."
Prof Woon added that the practice of law also depends a lot on trust, which is why the law must come down hard on errant lawyers.
He said: "There is also a problem of greed. It is a perennial problem. If you have greed, you have this abuse of trust. You can't have a commissar sitting down there and double checking everything that you do. You have got to balance practicality with protection of the public.
"We have tightened up, hoping we will head off the next scandal. But humanly speaking, I don't think it is possible – whatever rules you put in, there will always be the possibility of circumventure."
To study the problem of errant lawyers, a working committee that is headed by Justice Rajah has been formed. This committee will release its recommendations within five months.
- CNA/soCOOL!!! Why can't our PM ask the Ministers to look beyond the finanical gains too

it is really ridiculous stupid, greedy and lazy ministers, how can such stuff can happen in the mordern Singapore. the funniest thing is stupid Singaporeans are still voting for PAP party unbelieable how stupid singapore and singaporeans are !!!
-
its funny how things are working out now cos the worldwide trend is to increase productivity by lowering costs, increasing profits.
therefore, outsourcing.=)
hence, if we can outsource our jobs to other country workers to increase overall singapore productivity, maybe we can increase govt productivity by outsourcing our ministers? hehe. *imagines china and india ministers flocking to sg*
just a thought, dont scold me ah.
-
Our ministers are extraordinary and cannot be replaced.
Really.
