Well.. recently there is a huge uproar about the pay increment for govt bodies.. wanna share a little of my opinions..
Some stuff that i found out.. Our President is earning roughly 3 TIMES more then the President of US, George Bush(The World Most Powerful Man). Thats damn god like.. haha.. Base on the fact that US has such a huge economy.. but perhaps there are other incentives that they did not take into account when calculating his salary..
But what really puzzle me the most would be the statement made by the govt.. they mentioned that The Pay raise is to help retain the talents in the govt bodies as there is an increase in turnover. Base on this point i totally agree.. as the private sector has alot more $$ to be earned! But they also mentioned that this is to prevent Corruption!
Are they trying to say that the ppl working in the govt NEEDS $$$ so as to satisfy their own needs thus preventing corruption? Are they trying to say that our society and education system has taught them all these? What happen to all the moral and values? Are they trying to say that the govt is running based on $$ ? I know they need $$ to survive.. but to me.. Its a honor to be a Minister of singapore and having that means u r working for the people.. giving them benefits.. serving others before self.. thats wat a great leader would be.. even if there is a pay raise, why the top gets a higher pay raise.. 20-30% (i Estimate) while those working at the ground.. Like police officers.. only 10-13%!! It should be the other way round!! Grr...
These are just some thoughts i have.. perhaps they are thnking that havin a pay raise would prevent Corruption.. as prevention is better then cure.. just like the Singapore Police Force. Heard from a friend that they would patrol the area with their beacon lights on.. i was like.. wouldn't u alert the thieves and let them run away? He told me that his job there was more of a deterrence.. just like our Singapore Armed Forces.. To Deter the Enemy by displaying our superior forces and technology..
Lesson from The Govt of Singapore: Deterrence is Better then Cure.
