I have no issue with the Prime Minister and Ministers earning that much.

But the issue is the President don't seem to do a lot of work.

If most people were that capable, I think most will choose to be a President in Singapore.

to yawn:

so what do u expect?

total income earned in the country divided by the country's population?

the world is not equal but it is fair in the sense of the ministers earning that much.

Quoted from http://www.yawningbread.org/arch_2007/yax-824.htm :
"351 people earn S$228 million. That's an average of S$650,000 each. Meanwhile, 64,000 people earn S$4.7 billion minus S$228 million. That's an average of S$70,000 each, about a tenth of the average for the top 351 people."

An excellent and very thorough analysis on the benchmarks:

Masindi, GLC is short for government-linked company, while MNC means multi-national corporation. To answer your question, no, GLC is not equivalent to MNC. But I can think of one GLC that can arguably qualify to be also called an MNC - Singtel.

Is a GLC equivalent to an MNC?

Spotted in Dec 14 Straits Times:
"... if your minister can go and head an MNC, then paying well makes sense from a purely retention point of view."
