domho8 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 When it comes to politics, pay’s a difficult issue. Sure, the current leader may be expensive, but consider the alternative: All it takes is one under-qualified choice, and the economy’s down the toilet faster than Thai food on a bad stomach. On the other hand, we’re talking about a cushy job where the biggest threat is usually an ass blister. Either way, here are the biggest earners in politics 7th Place: Francois Hollande, President of France Approximate salary: SGD $291,680 per annum Needs to manage: Approx. 65 million people, 675,000+ square kilometers, at least 400 kinds of cheese In Singapore, his pay amounts to: Inability to buy a car with his entire month’s pay cheque. Come on, France. 6th Place: Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada Approximate salary: SGD $387,351 per annum Needs to manage: Approx. 34.4 million people, almost 10 million square kilometers, hockey violence and American tourists In Singapore, his pay amounts to: His entire month’s pay cheque should just about make the down payment on a 5 room flat. 5th Place: Uhuru Kenyatta, President of Kenya Approximate salary: SGD $390,561 per annum Needs to manage: Approx. 41.6 million people, 580,000+ square kilometers, and convincing the International Criminal Court that he hasn’t committed crimes against humanity. His case is probably next in line, after the producers of Jersey Shore. In Singapore, his pay amounts to: His entire month’s pay cheque is less than Nparks once paid for 26 bicycles. Also, people need to stop cracking jokes about corruption in Africa. I’m just saying. 4th Place: Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland Approximate salary: SGD $404,950 per annum Needs to manage: Around 4.5 million people, 84,000+ square kilometers, and a self-inflicted pay cut. Approx. 65 “Irish invention” jokes per hour. In Singapore, his pay amounts to: An average golf club membership. If he doesn’t go for too many frills. 3rd Place: Barack Obama, President of the United States of America Approximate salary: SGD $500,720 per annum Needs to manage: Around 314 million people, 9.8 million+ square kilometers, Republicans, and the Free World. In Singapore, his pay amounts to: His entire month’s pay cheque might cover the Cash Over Valuation of a resale flat (in a mature estate). 2nd Place: Donald Tsang, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Approximate salary: SGD $642,173 per annum Needs to manage: Just over 7 million people, 1,100+ square kilometers, more triad violence than a mongrel has fleas. In Singapore, his pay amounts to: Something we’d consider “a good start”, every time we review the cost of living. 1st Place: Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister of Singapore Approximate salary: $2.2 million per annum Needs to manage: Around 5.1 million people, 710 square kilometers, high inflation, immigration issues. His pay amounts to: About four or five other people on this list…combined. But hey, we’ve got a safe, clean country.

Chowbotak Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Our ministers are paid well for good reasons. They deserved tat kind of salary cos they are voted in elections after elections. Pl don spread the politics of envy! >:(
pschia Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 http://www.vancouversun.com/news/world/Singapore+tries+hand+afterdinner+humour+Washington+visit/8186355/story.html#ixzz2PNqP6C5F This is how the highest paid politician in the world behaves when being honoured by the world's most powerful country.. He cracks bad taste jokes on China during the dinner in his honour in Washington... He said in an after-dinner speech to US businessmen... “Beijing residents joke that to get a free smoke all they have to do is open their windows!” “(In) Shanghai, if you want some pork soup, you just turn on the tap.” ??? Desperately sucking up to the US at the expense of China? Or trying out his hand as a stand-up comic in case he gets booted out in 2016. All I can say is ..don't give up your daytime job. Then again, he sucks at his daytime job too. ::)

dsj88 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Shows a lack of political tact saying such things in a public forum. Trying to impress but failed miserably.
