Greetings PM Lawrence Wong

 My dear PM Lawrence Wong you are divinely blessed and you are now happily ensconced in your lofty position as prime minister enjoying the astronomical salary that your prdecessor the venal SM Lee Hsien Loong has bequeathed to you from his pocketing money ((any different from  plundering/) from the people's coffers over a number of years. With your impeccable credentials of probity would it not be an auspicious time to review this highly controversial political office holders' homongous salaries and modify them in compatable with international standard. For instance the venal SM Lee Hsien Loong was drawing no less  than four times the salary of the Ameriucan President.plus bonus. What kind of golden service was he providing the dispossessed Singaporeans that required no less than four times the American President's salary? Does it not give you the shudder that this is some kind of sophisticated plunder? 

Why is there no widespread vocal protest or agitation.? The time will come maybe in the next general election.  The opposition parties are apparently dragging their feet not unlikely because they just don't have the pugnacity to take on the PAP and had been daunted by by PAP's overbearingf domination. We are unfortunatedly endowed with a precarious and inept opposition and it is up to the voters to put up a more pugnaious opposition to take on the PAP as an equal or better but there is nothing visible right now on the horizon. No vocal protest des not mean consent  but PAP still are able to command more than enough gullible voters to keep them in power.

But is PM Lawrence Wong going to do nothing about it and allow it to fester? He is still a human being and is not immune to a  largesse at the people;s expense. Again he may be an iconoclast who may be more mindful and sympathetic to the people's (especially poor people)impecunious condition than his predecessors like Lee Hsien Loong and others that he may be conscience-stricken to take the initiative to modify the astronomical salaries of the prime minister and his ministers  The mentally-trepidated public can keep their eyes peeled for any sign of sanity by PM  Lawrence Wong and his sympathetic team to bring down the obscene ministerial salaries to a decent level by international standard.

I am still living on my poverty pension of $1545 a month and half starving most of the time. Does PM Lawrence Wong think he can show more humaniity than his inhuman predecessor Lee Hsien Loong by giving me a small raise so that I can live like a human being.What I had contributed in my service to Singapore I don't think any civil servant or political master can emulate.

Just an interesting aside. I had mentioned that Lee Hsien Loong was in a state of flux and could be perplexed in trying to find something to do to justify his substantial salary as a senior minister. He is reported to be visiting his constituents in Ang Mo Kio to consolate some victims of a coffee  shop fire.

This is what he will be doing as a senior minister. I was not talking cock.

I watched on TV PM Lawrence Wong's performance during his visit to Malaysia and was simply amazed by his competence. He and Lee Hsien Loong are clearly contrasting personality.  His style of delivery was so melliferious  and absorbing that it would  not fail to delight the audience and kindle their perspicuous intellect. PM Anwar could not have been unmoved by it. On the contray Lee Hsien Loong's style is intirely in contrast and is less subtle. He can even denigrate his hosts as he had done in China.

He as recently feted by the Chinese clan and business community to honour him for his contribution to the Chinee communiity s PM. He  needs such invitations to boost his fading personality.

It is interesting that his nephew Lee  Shengwu had some time ago prophesied that his rule was a ozymandias.
