If pay be the criteria for intelligence, these must be the dumb asses in international politics.
Russian President Vladimir Putin S$113,000 pa
French President Nicolas Sarkozy S$480,000
British PM Gordon Brown S$534,000
German Chancellor Angela Merkel S$544,000
Irish PM Bertie Ahern S$620,00
These dumb asses were so shortchanged that they didn't know their market values.

It's better to have a high official salary than a low one supplemented with undercounter dealings.
The European ones you mentioned have access to large helpings of funds. Meanwhile, the Russian economy is run by the mafia.
And your point is?
better to do things above board than under the table. no problem with declaration of assets.

It isn't. So stop hallucinating.
each time i look at the older estates and realise how up till the 80s, our hdb flats were designed and built almost the same, i really wonder at the great intelligence and extraordinary efforts that must have been required to create such boring and ugly looking things again and again for decades.
the older estates were built by people who earned only a few thousand dollars a month. so that is fair expectation.
when they are getting world class salaries, they must deliver world class standards.
