Up in the most politicians mind is the  power, fame and money that goes into it. When the carrot is million dollars plus reward, it is very hard to dismiss that they are there to serve the country and that they are doing it for passion and ideology...............

Oppo not only get no money, no power also and put their life at risk when they enter politics. At least they try to speak for the people and provide some checks against the govt. Hopefully next GE, one-third can get in and provide more checks against the miw. The ownself check ownself is a fallacy lah.

After one or two terms as MP they will probably get some director posts in govt linked companies.

Their salary is the highest in the world. No where else can they get such a job that overpays them.

Even if they started with passion, after a few years, their values will change and they do get Swarm over due to $$.

There is many evidence that $$ can change people.

PAP Ministers are humans.

Impossible for them to be tempted everyday by $$.

Otherwise why we hear this quote- Money is the Root of all Evil?

.

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

It is an established fact that our ministers are paid the highest than their counterparts of the world.  And after a few years of service, they tend to want to stay on, because of the high remuneration, plus directorships in some public companies.  It is very difficult to discount that the money is the draw in for all the ministers........

Due to because now " stable " No power struggle unlike LKY days, etc after the British leave SG.
Thus that period who go into politics is really want to help the country and people.

NOW just " rider , using the past politician credits, reserve funds etc "
