An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
many years ago, we were told that to have good people run our country, we must be willing to pay top dollars (peg to private sectors Top few% ). My question now is , are ALL top people in each respective department worth their money?
Since we benchmark ministers salary to private sector, then we must also have the same kind of rigorous checks , review and accountability practiced by private sector. There must be full accountability and "sacking" if the performance is ridiculously sub par.
I hope our dear govt realize that to run Singapore well, our leaders must have FORESIGHT ( a trait demonstrated by LKY era of leaders) to anticipate and plan ahead of things. Prevention is better than Cure, remember the saying?
There seems to be a trend now to Spin/ blow the trumpet on how well (or how swift) actions were taken following certain incident . Shouldn't the focus be on the root causes ( poor management) rather than how well we showed restraint by abandoning our tax payer paid police vehicles and ambulances, how amazing our intels were that enabled our malaysia police to help us capture fugitive that we can't find in our small country - Mas selamat, one eye dragon, took leng how.
lack of vision resulting in,
Rich poor gap, deteriorating infrastructure, SLA duo that mishandled millions to buy Lamborghini, Escape of most wanted" crippled" terrorist , CHC case, allow to go scott free Romain diplomat , lapses in audit on Brompton bike purchase, Top people in Sex Scandal, corruption and many more...
as we enter 2014, i hope there's performance review on all key personnels. Pay good money to those with real calibre who are able to serve with their hearts and also with great vision. Not easy but hey, with the kind of money we are paying , it's definitely possible to find.
