This speech becomes a fact in 2011. Much more intelligent than the S$3M ++ salary of Ministers. This debunk the myth that Singapore have no capable person by the ruling party. What a joke!! I think at best Minister may draw is S$60,000, subjected to tax regulation like all Singaporean without prejudice.
well don e ah lian !! we luv you ...use the hammer to knock these cock talking ex-army men .. don think they can survive in the private sector ...with the type of money they taking from taxpayers are not worth their performance ....
I think it is better to pegged to say "100 x lowest salary" to encourage ministers to raise the standard of lowest paid citizens....
ERP should be based on traffic flow and if "forget to insert cash card" instead of "fine" replace it with auto-deduction of say "2 times of original charges" upon next entry within a week.
Politicians must be willing to serve the people regardless of the salary which they will draw. If this is not the case, then all the talks about 'serving the people' are just bull-shit. We need leaders who are concerned for the welfare of their people before themselves. “先天下之忧而忧,后天下之乐而乐!”
I hope this time round the steep rise in HDB flats is addressed vigorously. I believe the price of flat should be capped affordable to those in division 3 and 4 of the citizens. It should be pegged to cater for its citizen and high for foreigners. It should not be left solely to market forces. The question is, does the salaries of those working in division 3 and 4 increases in tandem to that in the increase of the prices for HDB flats for the past 30 years ? Clearly, the answer is 'No'.
Well said, I wish there will be opposition party like Ms Sylvia will stand up to talk for singaporean in parliament... That's the way... WP, Keep it up!!!! All the best in 2011 G.election
It is highly far-fetched to contend that S'pore ministers will become corrupt if they are not paid well enough. Don't tell me that in a nation of 5 million, there aren't a dozen highly-qualified people who are not motivated by money and are prepared to serve sacrificially?
just simply PAP believes to get top people u pay top dollar. if dollar is the main motive, then the top people may be the wrong people they get. bcos money is never enough..
She did say it very well and it did make me think.... But whats the outcome....???? She did it in a very professional way.... I salute her, other opposition shld start learning from her
Some might agreed and some not. But it is really good to see an opposition to speak up with sense and brought up her points in a tactful, systematic and does her homework properly. Well done Sylvia Lim !
Well said. I'm supportive of high salaries for ministers but we ought to rethink the benchmark and understand the impact that it creates on public spiritedness. Glad too see the opposition making good speeches.
guys.. pls dont screw up. make your vote count. make a difference. its still not too late. if we dont do it now, its gonna be even harder when we get diluted by by their immigration policies. surely you can see their repeated self enrichment..UP TO $800 for us, and millions for them. u decide.

I will move to her constituency just to vote for her and her party. We need more people like her to perform the checks and balances of the PAP.
I hope there would be many willing to support her and the WP too,
