The deceit goes on. At the top tiers of the Pyramid of
society sits the so-called natural aristocrats or superficial faceless
elites. They tell the people that without high pay for the politicians,
the ministers and MPs and the senior Civil Servants the country may
encounter future corruption. Then they went on happily and arrogantly
raised their salaries not only illogically high but to sinful
stratospheric level unimaginable to all countries on this earth. Do
extreme high sinful salaries keep away corruption. No, it does not.
Corruption can creep in many different forms and they are all cancerous
and dangerous to the well being of the nation. Corruptions like taking
under table money, suspicious government projects tenders, sex favours,
secret adultery or sowing wild oats with extra marital sex resulting in
silent or loud whispers until they cannot be kept secret anymore and
explode full face in the public.
Yes, politicians like ministers
and senior civil servants need to be paid a decent reasonable high
salary but not a sinful stratospheric salary that blinds their eyes from
differentiating black and white, right and wrong, righteousness and
sinfulness, self aggrandizement and devotion or delegation to duty to
serve the people and country.
When they see so much money in the
hundreds of thousands and millions it is difficult to get them to
understand anything when their salaries depend on their not
understanding it.
Thus it boils down to upright character and
personal integrity. How many of our politicians can measure to that?
Remember the Chinese have a 'Dumpling Festival' commemorating the
suicide of a Prime Minister in protest to the Emperor for tolerating all
the highly corrupted ministers and psychophants in his corrupted
government.
