Not sure why they haven't released more details, but knowing the relationship between the two, it seems likely.abbby wrote: ↑Sat, 15 Jul 2023 10:22 amLikely related to F1 contracts?![]()

I'm just curious, what do you think an appropriate salary would be? Most would say they are already extremely over paid.tiktok wrote: ↑Sat, 15 Jul 2023 1:02 pmThe obvious problem is that ministers salaries are not high enough to discourage corruption. They should be increased.
Terry Xu, editor of The Online Citizen, was jailed for alleging "corruption at the highest echelons". Looks like his statement might have some truth.
Ah, didn't read as sarcasm to me at first. Though knowing you, I should have known better
On one hand, I can understand how it's important to have salaries be relatively high compared to the earnings of an average Singaporean, both in order to attract talent, and to ensure corruption is kept to a minimum.sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Wed, 19 Jul 2023 1:26 amI remembered when this was first released by the PMO back in 2012 with regard to the Ministerial Salary ranges (this before the 30-odd percent reduction in salaries). So wen on a search for it and luckily found it. It's long, but it's a good read.

I would argue that singapore is affluent enough to pay such a salary, but looking at the other countries on the list, that hardly seems to be the reason.
I was not yet in Singapore, so I had no idea about this until today, truly sad. Whether or not he was involved in corrupt activity, It's hard to think that he was in a position where death seemed like the more favorable option.Mad Scientist wrote: ↑Wed, 19 Jul 2023 8:39 amDuring my time this bloke Teh Cheang Wan did a poo poo while he was a minister
Damn, his death and the circumstances after that is very very sad.
You play this game and be aware of its repercussion.
There are many under table going on over the years , it is catch 22
I know you say you're serious, but I can't believe you actually think that. That seems disproportionately harsh.PNGMK wrote: ↑Tue, 25 Jul 2023 2:03 pmIt''s appalling. Clearly the death sentence should apply to Iswaran as a warning to others. I'm serious. How it was picked up was that a scrupulous British accountant or book keeper noted in his ledger "Bribe for Minister Iswaran paid to Ong, $20,000 in cash" or similar and CIPB picked it up in a parallel investigation.
