Will Dr Tony Tan run for President?

Like all Singaporeans, I am watching the political climate closely. It is clear that the next President of Singapore will hold office during a period of enormous change.

In such times, my view is that, it is more important than ever to have a President with a steady hand and a deep understanding of the complexities behind each decision the President may have to make.

Salary panel seeks public feedback

SINGAPORE

time last Saturday, the committee

tasked with reviewing the salaries of

the Republic’s political leaders has distilled

the slew of ideas it recieved from

various channels.

These include paying salaries comparable

to those of leaders in developed

nations and paying a person more only

after he has proven himself.

Other suggestions that the committee

will be considering: Have indicators

such as median salaries, income gap

levels and growth, as well as use private

sector best practices, but factor in the

calling for public service.

And the committee is calling for

more ideas with the assurance that it

“will consider every one of them for

their suitability and appropriateness”,

as committee chairman Gerard Ee put it.

In a press release, Mr Ee said that

the public can send in additional ideas

— via email or by post — by June 20.

He added: “We would appreciate it if

contributors not flame, even though

we fully understand the need to vent.”

Noting that Prime Minister Lee

Hsien Loong has not given the committee

a timeline to deliver its recommendations,

Mr Ee reiterated that the

eight-member team wanted to “get

down to work as soon as possible”.

Mr Ee said that the ideas which the

committee has compiled were culled

from mainstream and online media,

email and letters. The committee has

also written to Members of Parliament

to seek their input.

Mr Ee also set out the approach the

review committee will take.

The appropriate pay package —

inclusive of bonuses, pensions and

benefits — will be determined from a

human resource perspective, looking

at the individual grade, job size, scale

and impact of the work.

The team will also work with human

resource experts to “ensure that there is

rigour in the analysis”, he added.

---

This, said Mr Ee, would answer one of two questions the committee intends to find answers to: “What fair compensation would accord due recognition for the contributions of our political office holders?”

Letter from Francis Chan SHOULD the authorities take another look at their policies for en bloc sales, particularly of newer properties? In the light of an urgent need to keep a check on rising property prices, is it wise for relatively new properties to be encouraged to go the en bloc route? The immediate impact is an increased demand for both the purchase of replacement properties, affecting both the HDB resale and private property markets, and demand for new rental units. For the latter, it is not uncommon for most of the newer properties to be investment-owned and tenanted, hence there is a multiplier effect that heats up the entire property market. Besides, the continuing demand drives up construction costs and the need for more foreign workers. While this may be good for our GDP, is the quick rise in property prices what the nation needs? What drives the private property market ultimately impacts the HDB market, in terms of land cost, construction cost, and HDB resale prices. Given that a major part of our national wealth is our land bank, and that they are revalued based on current market prices, the longer term risk of an asset bubble cannot be dismissed. Perhaps, it is time to re-examine the merits to place a cap on the age of properties that can be put up for en bloc sales.
