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.

Plus, CSM is a living example that you do not need top dollar to attract Top talent.. it's the passion that matters.

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.

They can be very critical and have a way with words, which sometimes appear to be harsh, but that is because they feel it is \"for your own good\". Can say more if you want to know. These points are particular to Male Virgos. Anyway, just my hunch, but someone in parliament sure stands out in these characteristics.

that they managed to make Singaporeans hate Singapore? (impression from some forums)

And, we're not paying ordinary market rate for ordinary ministers ok.....

We're paying Extra-ordinary rate.. and hence expecting extra-ordinary ministers..

even other countries ministers drawing ordinary pay, if they fail, they leave (for e.g. Japan).

And, like someone mentioned.. in the corporate world.. if they screw up, they get screwed.. (I'm not quoting the person bcoz not using exact words.. but the meaning is there.)

Here? screwed up.. say sorry.. let's move on..
