Any proof?
Quietly donating can be more dangerous as also quietly collecting..
Singapore is in a mess as politics is dirty, not as clean as Singapore image.

If a politician stayed long enough - And by carefully observing the way he managed the country and his personal affairs may roughly gauge his character.
Whether it's rightly or wrongly, the margin cannot be too far off.

Pappy politicians make full use of their political status to obtain lucrative directorship postings.

It's interesting to see leaders like Anwar and now the Thai PM taking steps like this. It really sets a tone for public service. A while back, I was involved with the Inez Foundation on a project to help communities in need. We saw how leadership can inspire change and how even small acts of generosity can ripple through a community. One of the leaders we met was genuinely committed to helping the kids, and it made a huge difference in their lives. It’s refreshing to see this kind of leadership; it makes me hopeful for more positive changes in the future.

In S'pore, our politicians are motivated by self-service.

Remember that when US President-elect Donald Trump announced he would give up his presidential salary of US$400,000 and take just US$1 a year? He revealed his plan to receive nominal pay during an interview with 60 Minutes' Lesley Stahl on CBS News. Though he was unaware of how much a president made, Trump said he thought he was required to take US$1. After Ms Stahl told him it was US$400,000, he said: "No, I'm not going to take the salary. I'm not taking it." Somehow, I just cannot see our greedy SG politicians working for anything less than S$1-2 million a year.

Did Srettha Thavisin undergo sexual reassignment to become a "Lady Boy" PM?

Between 1955 and 1973, the S'pore Prime Minister's salary remained at $3,500 per month. In 1973, a significant increase raised the PM's salary to $9,500, while other ministers' salaries rose from $4,500 to $7,000. When adjusted for inflation, the 1973 PM salary of $9,500 is equivalent to roughly $27,742 per month in 2016. This translates to an annual salary of $360,646 (in 2016 dollars), including the 13th month bonus. Meanwhile, a minister's salary of $7,000 in 1973 was worth approximately $20,441 per month in 2016. This equates to an annual salary of $265,733 (including the 13th month bonus). It's clear that ministerial salaries have increased substantially since then.

No thanks. Singaporeans prefer to pay a leader a good salary and have good performance.
But An.war performed much better than the two immediate predecessors.
And An.war is not paid as PM

*"Between 1955 and 1973, the S'pore Prime Minister's salary remained at $3,500 per month. In 1973..."
✓Poor or (old) or original folks plus all others workers, their salary is all very less (none to compare to others like-Prime Minister's $3,500) - think lehh) at most hundred, more or less get abit more and for a few may be lucky...
