Government reveals 172 civil servants earn more than PM
Meanwhile, Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the British TaxPayers' Alliance, said the move to publish public spending data "is long overdue but is nevertheless extremely welcome".
"Taxpayers have a right to know how their money is being spent and anyone earning a large amount of money in government should have their pay packet open to public scrutiny, so people can judge whether they are providing good value for money," he said.

So apparently ours is the highest paid cabinet; politicians; civil servants in the world. So we Sillyporeans have every right to demand nothing but the best.
Kudos to the Singapore Police Force in catching 5 knives-wielding foreign workers around Kallang area, and hope they can catch the remaining 2. But it is no relief that 2 were caught trying to sneak back into Singapore, means they did a Mas Selamat? Or worse..they walked straight out of immigration exits. I just applaud the way Shitty Times write their stories...quoted "It is not known why they try to come back". One would expect more investigative-type questions to the police on how did they leave in the first place, instead of questioning criminal stupidity? So now crazy foreign workers can come in and out of Singapore holding weapons to terrorise our heartlands? Soon we will need police patrol all over our island to prevent such acts which reminded me of Mumbai, India... just that ours is crazier as we do have millions of foreign workers living in our midst from Serangoon to Jurong. I do hope well-known high budgeted military spending can come to good use in that seemingly likely event. Looks like I need to spend more time with my loved ones and practising my Wing Chun!
