Heard that some are pay but so free that they often drink tea at the nearby place.

Yes, I also agree with Comment #1, i.e. the elites cum pseudo politicians are good only at looking at their own CPF statements at end of every month.

And to add to that, they are also good at scheming how to maximize their own income and investments with minimum effort.

And also, how to invest in foreign real estates and business ventures;

And sending their children to top foreign universities at the expense of taxpayers’ money (through multiple scholarships, though only one scholarship is more than enough to propel them to cosy life the rest of their life.

And also, possibly, doing things through pulling strings and pulling connections, for walking through the back doors the easy way out.

I have always wondered, do their supporters question them or side them regardless?

they look away when they lose the public’s money.

they look away when they allow toxic financial products into the market.

Yup i agree with Comment #1.

yet another sign of our elitism and GRCs and having scholars run ministries and govt posts.

cover backside first – tai chi the problem – blame others.

and there are MPs saying we’re “mollycoddled”…

if they dont want to work for public service, then dont. dont make them reluctant executives, just by giving them high pay… its all gone wrong, i tell you.

Thanks Alex for voicing up, again.
As I observed for the last 2 years,
Blogs have given people avenues to voice up.
However, Questions posed are so many unanswered by the ones the questions are intended for.

Its clear they need not reply us. There is nothing we can do.

Except, by way of Physically be present in public places like HLP to make our voice heard. Either that or we could wait for our nice PAP MPs to voice up for us.

Which is better?

Our elites are very good at looking but unfortunately not very good solving problems.

One thing I’m very sure they love looking at though is definitely their CPF statements every month.
