The outrageous PAP mayors

 The clown Chan Chun Sing was at his comical best for his outrageous display in defending the roles and functions of the CDC and the five PAP mayors. Even Bertha Henson, the literary celebrity, was flabbergasted by his bombastic utterance and could not even know what he was talking about. Chan Chun Sing is the prominent government face who gives frequent expositions, ad nauseam, of government policies and people are wondering if Singaporeans are finding his sermon on the mount amusing. Half-baked politicians like him are going to lead the government in future and I think Singaporeans will have to brace themselves to see what would happen in the future.

The salaries af the PAP mayors are definitely outrageous and are a reflection of the obscene millions of dollars PM Lee Hsien Loong and his mercenary ministers pay themselves from taxpayers' money. Workers' Party leader Pritam Singh made a very pertinent point in exposing the outrageous  roles and functions of the PAP mayors. It is clear that their position is untenable and it would be interesting to see what Lee Hsien Loong will do to mitigate the outrage. Pundits are wondering why there are still up to seventy percent of electorate who support the PAP at every election under the preposterous misconception that their livelihood will disappear if they did not vote for the PAP.

It is clear that PAP mayors are drawing salaries so astronomically higher than mayors in other countries and serving lesser number of residents . Pritam Singh has shown that their duties are superflous and could be undertaken by other units in the governments. It becomes abundantly clear that in order to heed the demand of the public, the mayor post could be abolished. But whether Lee Hsien Loong has the guts to do it, when he and his mercenary ministers are enriching nthemselves with taxpayers' money, is something for Singaporeans to see.
