An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
So ex-junior minster Zainul Abidin is joining SPH where he will run SPH’s radio stations, SPH UnionWorks, where NTUC has a 20% stake. Given the job description, I don’t see him drawng a million dollars a yr, the starting point of ministerial salaries.
We were told that S’pore had to pay the likes of ex-DPM Wong, HDB Mah, Cry baby cry Lim, Raymond Lim, “PAP must change” Yeo, Ms Lim (the MP from 7th month) and Zainul Abidin million-dollar salaries because taz what they are worth to the private sector.
If they were not paid millions, they would resign from the cabinet in search of million-dollar salaries.
Well they have all left the cabinet recently but somehow I don’t hear of the private sector (let alone the TLC or GLC sectors) offering them zillions of dollars for their expertise. True Ms Lim has become a director of a major listco, Jardine C&C, but she is not getting millions of dollars.
