This was the question posed to my MIL...."Who's the PM of Singapore?". I almost fell off my chair when the doctor asked the 90 years old woman this to check if she's mentally "sound". Still I translated the question to her in teochew and she replied: "Lee Kong Yeow"
I'm very sure she is metallly sound!
high seniority...

Whether they draw high income or not doesnt matter.
What pple now going thru is the high cost of living. Hope ministers know this and see what they can help either reducing pub bills, etc....

can lar. high pay ok. gt performance ok.
but when things go wrong can go by proper management practices, make em say sorry and fire those top earners?

Two totally different situations.
1) NS servicemen are paid their "basic" for their daily sustenance. Surely you don't expect the NS servicemen and their families to live on sunshine and fresh air while they serve their country.
2) Whereas Ministers are paid stellar salaries, which is way above the norm compared to every other country in the world. Furthermore, these Ministers still get director fees sitting in GLCs.

I think ns allowance should further increase isnt it? Since they so wood headed of going to reduce the ns to 1 yr. At least increase their allowances. eg recruit get $1k per month. Pte get $1.5k per month, lcp get $2k per month, cpl gets $2.5k per month. sgt gets $3k per month.

can they extend ns to those above 65? I think a lot will want to be recruited.

anyway there is one almost unmovable still collecting public funds at a ripe old age of 89.
65 is still young.
