Ministerial Salary Review

[MMM]

ksi:

Though it is true that if CSM is financially sound, he frees himself to pursue his passion, but pursuing this passion in politics is not one without the risk of being sued. His financial buffer would really be to help him if he makes any mistakes in politics, though I am confident that he would not with his rational talk unlike some past oppositions. I think this threat is non-existent in the MIW party and yet a big package is demanded.

I recall that CSM's daughter seems rather young eg. below 10? So even if he has millions??? given the young age of his daughter and the risk of joining a opposition party, it's really not a easy decision. Also... to most man, millions are never enough. Man are by nature greedy. He could have stay in the comfort of the corporate world.

Sorry to pour cold water on CSM fanboys (actually I am one of them too), but whilst I think there is cause for optimism, its far too early to judge his performance and longevity, yes?

Agree.. Plus didn't they too concede that their highly attractive pay had failed to attract top corporate talents to join them in GE2011? After all, earmarked ministerial-calibre political newbies like HengSK and MG Chan are all recruited from public/civil/military services.

While I applaud his decision to enter politics and on the side of the opposition, please note that CSM has already made his millions as a partner in an international law firm. So like it or not, he has a safety net. I would not want him to be too poorly paid compared to what he used to earn either.[/quote]may be PAP rejected him ? just any how guess :siam:

I think so too. It's been a good start for CSM. I do hope he continues the good work, and l look forward to more good things to come.

3Boys, do you happen to be a virgo? :siam:

Take the bas with the good. To harp on failings without recognizing achievement is patently unfair in any book.
