classic elitist mindset obviously apparent. i am sure he's not the only one in the civil service. but guess that's what you get when you put monetary rewards as carrot for attacting the best talent for the admin service. Good that someone brought this up in parliament.

im sorry aw, you are not understanding what is wrong with the passage. Its one thing to be hao lian and its one thing to go to france and learn cooking. He earned his keep.
But you must remember he is a Member of parliament, writing about his 50K trip, during times of recession IN THE NEWSPAPER WE READ = ='...

Even a perm-sec of a water ministry in Singapore earns more than Obama! There is just something wrong about this.
Meritocracy is a good ideal, but to reward people in public service with obscene wealth is just wrong. And everybody in the developed world realizes that fact except Singapore...
