Although the government officials there are paid a hefty sum, which is astounding for a lot of us who are only earning a tiny fraction of it, I must admit that they deserve every penny of it. Why? Just look at how their government is run. One word to describe: efficient! With a government like that, you know your tax dollars are going to the right place and multiplying in value, so that the country as a whole becomes better off in long run. In fact, I will be more willing to pay my tax dollars to Singapore than everywhere else in the world, even if it means I have to pay so much more. The government there does look after its people, and the people can really depend on their government. How hard can this formula be? Why can't countries like M'sia, its closest neighbour, learn a thing or two from Singapore? Are we asking too much? Or are we asking too little? Food for thought.
