Compared to the other Countries' Leaders:
Donald Tsang Yum-Kuen - Hong Kong (S$716k)
Barack Obama - United States (S$555k)
Nicolas Sarkozy - France (S$441k)
Angela Merkel - Germany (S$420k)
Gordon Brown - UK (S$387k)
Taro Aso - Japan (S$337k)
| Total of all 6: S$2,856,000 In other words, even the Singapore DPM has higher salary than all of the above leaders combined! Does it mean that these DPMs are more "capable" than all the leaders from the 6 biggest world economies combined? So I guess Singaporeans must be thanksful to have so many talents in their government!! |
