Nobody said that it WILL PREVENT crimes, but it should be a deterrent when so much is at stake. You are earning over a million dollars, you have top band civil servants' perks, and get VVIP treatment everywhere you go. You'd think ten times before accepting bribes.
But if ministers are paid $30-50K a month as some peepur suggested, they have less to lose and will be easily tempted.
If the minister is a man, there is yet another way to make him fall. Chiobu.

Yah, agreed. High pay helps reduce temptations but cant prevent it totally.
More important are the character and motivation of the office holder. If he is only going for high pay, then it is bad.

As we are humans trying to find another human to run the government, we don't have crystal ball eyes. Even LKY with his trusted stalwart Lim Kim San who was said to be able to "see peepur" for who they are, their character, simply by talking with that person...they still got it wrong sometimes. Boomers should remember Teh Cheang Wan...it's in the news, the Straits Times in print.
Other PAP cadres fell because of women.
Some of the prettiest and most brilliant Chinese women are in the US doing espionage for the CCP.

Iswaran can learn from bala :
1) I was blindsided
2) it was an honest mistake
3) it was an oversight
4) wanted to keep extended family together
5) I’m sorry
6) my wife handled all the arrangements
7) I should have been “unscrupulously careful” and “acutely aware”
