According to the Stooge Times: $ingapore’$ mini$ter$ and top civil servants $erpent$ will start the New Year with a pay increase, ranging from 4% to 21%. This is the second phase of an increase that was decided on in April. (Details at a glance, refer to the chart above.)

Also in the same article: For instance, mini$ter$ at the entry grade of MR4 will get an average of 9 months performance bonus, on top of the GDP bonus, which can fall between 3 and 8 months, depending on economic growth.

What?! 9 months of ‘performance’ bonus? What ‘performance’ bonus? Do show, talk cock, sing song? And 3 – 8 months of GDP bonus some more, which can be a max of 17 months of bonus?! Just how many people gets bonus like that? Do we ever get bonus or a pay increment that’s even marginally close to how the company is doing?

So, while there used to be a time when I would at least expressed a little gratitude to these bastards for what Singapore has achieved and where we are today, now I will give them none of that. And this is why:

I normally would have much much to say about this matter… but I guess this guy ‘oldmaster’ said it best in the comments following the article on the Stooge Times:

As to what I think about their justification to their pay is all said in this article taken from Yazhou Zhoukan (亚洲周刊), which I post in May this year. (If you cannot read Chinese… too bad.)

Singaporeans will likely forget all these by the time of the next elections but I won’t. And if the Opposition will stop abandoning us Westies, I will at least go and listen to what they want to say, and even if they don’t get my vote, it won’t go to the Tali-PAP.
