Another recommendation of the review committee that I fail to understand is the need for a National Bonus to supplement the ministers’ income. When a politician fights an election, it is a tacit understanding that if elected he will serve them to the best of his ability and with the d...
Although not mentioned by the Committee for obvious reasons, the primary purpose of the ministerial pay cuts is to win back political capital after many years of consistent and increasingly strong political backlash. The PAP government must have known for some time that Singaporeans a...

For the last 45 years, under LKY’s leadership, anyone capable of challenge to him is persecuted and squashed under his heel. Now all that is left for the PAP are school boys. Promoted based on the number of A’s in the A levels, none of them can hold a feather against any of the dozen ...
