The way the question is framed does not reflect Singapore's position. The question is not whether pay should be the motivation for public service but that pay should not be a bar to joining politics. If you want to attract the best who are ALREADY earning very high salaries and have already made financial commitments commensurate with their pay. We should expect a discount but not too great a sacrifice. Singapore ministers are paid a 'clean wage'. You don't get a car or even a driver. Or a pension. That's clarity. But the best defence of the high salaries is the progress of the nation and the clean government.번역 보기
