The top 10, heck make that 20, highest paid politicians in the world!

There's this article over at Money Central about the Top 10 highest paid politicians in the world. I say it's bullshit. Read it for yourself and then may I remind you that Singapore easily swipes the top 20 spots!

As a commenter said, and I quote:

Your report on the 10 highest paid politicians in the world is grossly incorrect.

All other ministers: US$1.1 million - there are 15 ministers in the Singapore cabinet:
1. George Yeo
2.Mah Bow Tan
3. Lim Boon Heng
4. Lim Hng Kiang
5. Lim Swee Say
6. Yaccob Ibrahim
7. Khaw Boon Wan
8. Tharman Shanmugaratnam
9. Ng Eng Hen
10. Vivian Balakrisnan
11. Raymond Lim
12. K. Shanmugam
13. Gan Kim Yong
14. Lim Hwee Hua
15. Lui Tuck Yew

There are already 7 Singapore politicians listed by Harry, plus another 15 Singapore politicians (ministers), leading to a total of 22 politicians with salaries over the US$1 million mark, and therefore the 10 highest paid politicians in the world belong to none other than Singapore.

The rest of the politicians in the world are nowhere even close to the salaries of the ministers in Singapore.

'nuff said.
