Even so, it's a mistake to buy the car at this present time, when millions of Malaysians are going be hit by BN's GST and all that. Guan Eng is a relatively young politician and probably not politically astute. I think you've a point here.<br /><br />I've largely stopped writing on politics since the first election "tsunami", figuring that things were going to get better. That was childish optimism on my part.

So, after having lectured UMNO about wasting the taxpayers' money on 14 brand new Mercs @ $245,000 each ($3.42 million), why did he order a $300,000 Merc? Why not a brand new and latest Camry or Toyota, which after tax exemption, discounts etc. will cost less than 1/2 of a brand new Merc? Why the stylo-mylo desire, but sham and hypocrisy?<br /><br />Also, we are talking about Malaysia, NOT CEO's in the western world or Australian PM. Remember also that all these State CM's and Assemblymen also draw salaries and allowances as MP's where relevant. <br /><br />So, they only work at best, half their time in state affairs. One report has ot that MB Khalid draws some $50,000 per moth with state and MP salaries and allowances. So, with the new increase. he will earn more than the PM!!??<br /><br />Who determines their pay? Exactly my point. They have voted themselves these stratopheric pay increases. Do employees in the private sector get the right to vote thier own salary increments and bonuses? They should form an independent (of politicians) board comprising persons of integrity from the public and private sector to do this.<br /><br />No benchmark? First set the KPI's, then study the averages paid in SEA (excluding S'pore which has reached 1st world status. It's as simple as that.<br /><br />Donplaypuks®https://www.blogger.com/profile/14885751307558636916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609172053888432914.post-45861222053132649332014-01-06T14:10:37.084+08:002014-01-06T14:10:37.084+08:00As a corporate person, I don't see anything wr...As a corporate person, I don't see anything wrong about what LGE and TSK have done.<br /><br />If LGE and team have been using cars that's 18 years old and cost heaps in maintenance and repairs, it makes Ringgit-sense to get new cars at competitive price. It'll likely be cheaper in the long run. What LGE should do is to published the financial impact of using 18-year-old cars compare to new cars.<br /><br />As for TSK, by hiking the salaries of these lawmakers, he is taking the first step towards getting these people to focus on doing their job to serve the rakyat. It is human nature that if your pay is hardly enough to meet your financial needs, you will look for ways to increase your income, instead of just focusing on doing your job well. Hence, the temptation to take bribes and other unauthorised rewards in return for favours. What TSK should do is to publicly make it clear to these lawmakers that he will not tolerate any corrupted practices and will publicly embarass anyone found to be indulging in such practice. Yes, this may be hard to put into practice but it will send a clear message regardless.<br /><br />It is not a question of bad timing but extremely bad public messaging, in both cases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609172053888432914.post-12502114785421952472014-01-06T11:30:53.718+08:002014-01-06T11:30:53.718+08:00TGNA.

To the ordinary voters a Mercedes S-Class maybe exorbitant. To a top level manager, the same car maybe just reward for a CM. So where do we draw the line?<br /><br />We are like the 3 blind men touching different parts of the same elephant.<br /><br />Donplaypuks, what then should be the right car for the CM of Penang? Mind you, the previous car lasted 18 years and LGE isn't going to change car ever so often!<br /><br />Incidentally, don't compare the pay of a CM with that of a MD from the commercial world. The PM of Australia receives approximately AUD450000 a year while the MD of one of the Top 4 bank receives approximately AUD10 million. Ask the MD of one of the Top 4 banks whether they want to go into politics?<br /><br />To conclude, unless there is a compensation benchmark for elected representatives, we are all farting in the wind!Roti Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14909857352802032288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609172053888432914.post-69846520036367702472014-01-05T11:13:49.691+08:002014-01-05T11:13:49.691+08:00KoSong Cafe
Thanks for your comments.
It's ...KoSong Cafe<br /><br />Thanks for your comments. <br /><br />It's a fact that pay scales and rises in most private sector companies are not determined by employess, but by compensation committees. Certainly, top job pay rises do not and never have averaged 20%-60% per year for 5 years. Also, no way will inexperienced managers who are learning on the job command $20,000 and $30,000 a month salaries within 5 years.<br /><br />As for Khalid he left Guthries after a big hoohah, and till today there is a $100 million lawsuit hanging over his head about his bank loan over share purchases. So, his record is not as spotless as many think!<br /><br />LGE got his accounting degree in 1983 and entered full-time politics in 1986. So, he does not have real commercial experience to speak of.<br /><br />The point is these CM's are indulging in the same nonsense the that many, and they themselves, have been criticizing UMNO/BN for many years. It shows up their hypocrisy. Their feathering their own nests seems wholly inappropriate and insensitive to plight of the masses who are facing hard times.<br /><br />As for entering politics, I don't think I'm cut out for it. But, public criticism goes with the office and territory of CM's. If they can't take the heat, they should leave the kitchen!Donplaypuks®https://www.blogger.com/profile/14885751307558636916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609172053888432914.post-45782601676255784982014-01-05T10:03:49.705+08:002014-01-05T10:03:49.705+08:00Politics is not everybody's cup of tea. While ...Politics is not everybody's cup of tea. While some can become politicians like duck to water, others just do not have the real interest to be a full time politician, especially if a person who prefers a private life.<br /><br />From the way you criticise the CM and MB of Penang and Selangor respectively, you really should take a dive into politics to show whether you can make it as a politician, since you have challenged them to apply for a top post in the corporate world. In fact, it is easier and more practical for you to show you can lead a Pakatan party or even a new party, instead of them proving to your satisfaction that they could get a top corporate job each. Since LGE is an accountant and Khalid had been a CEO of a plc before, I believe both have no problems proving their worth in the corporate world.<br /><br />I do not know LGE nor Khalid personally and I doubt they know anything about me, just in case you think I am apple-polishing for something or a blind follower who believes Pakatan leaders can do no wrong. You have valid points about their 'unbecoming' extravagance, but I think some of us expect too much from them, using Mandela as a yardstick or Nik Aziz's exceptional thrift as an example.<br />I would put them as good leaders in their own way but not great by your standard. Don't forget they were elected by tens of thousands of voters, and we cannot tell what the voters think of their actions now until the next election. Even then, we can never tell for sure because each voter has his or her reason for voting for or against someone. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />KoSong Cafehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257859564265735807noreply@blogger.com
