so it's obvious that giving high pay will result in less damage to the society.
Or you could look at it another way.....cause you pay me peanuts and you get paid $2m that's why i take bribes

Exactly ! I don't even believe that there is a snowstorm in China, don't believe that there is a sub-prime crisis, don't believe that there was a violent crackdown of protestors in Burma. Images and video feeds might have been the work of the likes of Steven Spielberg !!

It means that the country's political, judical and administration system is too backward to match the modern western standards (Norway, Finland etc). High pay is then needed to prevent corruption.

Should pay him salary $3 millions (like ...), so bribes will be $0. And no more corruption.Edited by 333225520 06 Feb `08, 8:49PM

That's the govt's message to the people. The salary benchmark to discourage corruption at present stands at about SGD2m.
Don't talk about integrity, OK?
This has been discussed at length.
That's where the term legatimized corruption came from.
Our ministers justify their exhorbitant salaries to starve off corruption and deny potential 'suitors' from headhunting them to lead prominent MNCs.
To date, not a SINGLE ex-minister is listed as a board member or CFO-equivalent in any 'leading MNC', not even the likes of Tony Tan, Seet Ai Mee or Yeo Cheow Tong.

Wrong. Only elites are justified to take bribes.
Peasants taking bribes is akin to stealing from the elites, and that simply cannot be tolerated, no?
