I don't see a shred of guilt drawing down taxpayers' money at such a rate.  Every Minister has a starting salary of at least $1 million annually while the PM draws more than $2.2 million per year. Such sums are enough to feed the average S'porean family for a lifetime.

The 61% give them the mandate that it is perfectly ok to be rewarded for the hard work they put in. In fact I think they could be thinking the current pay may not even be enough due to inflation. So stay tuned for further updates. We get the govt we vote for (so guess did I vote them?)
