PM Lee, President: We'll accept salary cut proposals

WHY NOBODY HERE ASKED LKY - THE PERSON WHO SHARTED THIS STUPID MOVE - WHAT HAVE YOU TO SAY ? ?

Mr PM,it seems like theres some female ministers who are warning you if you make further pay cuts.First time i am hearing of ministers threatening Mr Lee....wow,these r really talented ministers...

why you increase and cut your pay as you please?

should back date Tell Nathan to pay back the money he took during is term as president . Perhaps the man up there will forgive . him .haif a billion dollars

its similar to retail marketing strategy, priced the item as high as possible and then give a big discount, which is singaporeans' favorite pastime queuing and come off satisfied!

Loss of privacy, Public Scrutiny? Honestly I did not know you were a Senior Minister,I thought you were only an MP. I must be going through the early stages of dementia.You should know what to do to prevent further loss of your personal time.Have fun.

Dear Ms Fu, please do not forget citizens 'sacrifice' a substantial part of their salaries ( based on per capita income) towards GST, levies, income tax etc towards the upkeep of the ruling government. We are also subject to indirect taxes on alcohol, cigarettes, petrol, COEs, development charges etc. Do be more concern of your performance as an office holder as even with the latest pay cut, you are still being payed many times more than the average. There will always be people who want to serve and be prepared to have some sacrifice. If you think that the sacrifice is too much, please vacate your office. There are people who serve the community at all levels without compensation...they are called volunteers. You 'volunteered to be in politics and is being rewarded handsomely in terms of salary and whatever that comes with the trappings of power. The line you used to justify that no one would want to serve because of loss of privacy and less money compared to the private sector had been used to justify the astronomical salaries of the office holders which is now being lowered by a hugh 36%. Your boss, the PM, has accepted the recommendation, which tacitly means that it was excessive in the first place and your performance does not justify for it as indicated by voters in the last election.

Is Grace Fu, Gracefully protesting to Gerard Ee, Head of Ministerial Salary Committee?

@Pek Kong, I fully agree with you.

All our PAP politicians are square pegs in round holes. They are doing a political job for the wrong reason. They all believe without exception including LKY that sucessful technocrats, successful surgeons, sucessful military men, successful bankers, successful lawyers, can all make good politicians and hence must be paid world's highest salaries as opportunity cost to get them into politics!.

This type of reasoning is utterly wrong and very morally wrong! People like Grace Fu will never make a good politician as she does not understand the Monetary Sacrifice and serving the people and voters with the HEART. Opportunity cost is too great for her to accept. She should go back to the private sector, the hospital and the army, along with all this bunch of Ministers and PM, to where they all come from.

Agree with you Pek Kong. We need more of the Chen Shao Mao type of politicians to step forward to serve us. The Obamas, Merkel and Sakozy types are also very much needed in Singapore. Otherwise, we get oursleves in a never ending money trap where there is no escape and we the People and Voters have to slog and slog and our children also have to slog and slog along with our grandchidren, just to pay for the excess and high bills of maintaining our PM, Ministers and their entourage!.

明贪明取了那么多年，什么都够本了吧！LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ministerial crop we have is like jewellery. Expensive to buy, but in worth, it's a pittance when one tries to sell. They are in essence, jewellery, but certainly, not gems. We have a few members voted into parliament who are real gems, unlike the glaring and loud jewellery, calling loudly for attention in the shop window, in highly exaggerated worth. Like jewellery shop sales, when 80 per cent discount is offered, the price is still far too high, compared to what they are worth.

60 percent we can bring about positive change for ALL Singaporeans if PAP lose a few more GRC, see we are not daft, please do your national service, for our future.

NO NEED TO SUPPORT THE LIES.

THEIR REPUTATION GONE !

SINGAPORE BUSINESS ORGANISATION GONE !

HIGH SALARY ALL THESE YEARS IS A THEFT !

Miss Fu,make the right move, now or in the coming GE.
All I can see is your boss is trying his best to prevent the boat from sinking.and you are trying to scuttle the boat..
Think about Chen Show Mao or Tan Jee Say
Bye,bye

Our senior minister of state claims that she lost her privacy and personal time. Does she understand the concept of public servant? ALso, our ministers are not celebrities. Who cares if they show up? Only the PAP brown nose idiots. So, public servants want to enter into public service for superstar pay should stay out of public service!!!!

u need an election to finally realise the obscene amount that PAP pays themselves..??where is check and balance all these years..???

Well its always said that nobody is above the law and now u expected that low crime doesn't mean no crimes.. But excautly this legal robbing is very shameful u did not do what u preach& don't to say that singapore is a safe place to stay u hipocrates. In fact u have commited the greatest crimes of all in this country.

LHL,dun make the whole world laugh at you, getting the F high salary as world higher pay.
Just ask yourself, do you perform better den china and USA ?
You are trying to fool not only singaporeans but also the whole world.........

still million$ man omg!

Lost 1 GRC = Pay cut!
So people, if we want them to cut further or to wake up = let them lose more GRCs!
Let's unite to make them work hard for their dough! Enough of their wayang!
