Non-Constituency MP Sylvia Lim, chairman of the opposition Workers' Party, says the timing betrays the Government's insensitivity.
She says: "It reflects how the Government is not concerned about running roughshod over the anxieties of the general public over the impending GST hike and rising fees in polyclinics and hospitals.
"Practically in the same breath, Singaporeans are told to be happy with a few dollars more a month under Workfare, while their leaders' salaries need to go up from $100,000 monthly to as much as $180,000."
Adds Non-Constituency MP Sylvia Lim: "In the public sector, national policies and directions are set. What happens when policies fail? How often do ministers get stripped of their positions or lose post-public-sector benefits?"
Well, there is a saying in chinese "there are two 'mouths' in the chinese character 'guan' or government officials."
