Yes, many ministers had resigned and it is time to raise their salaries.

Many Singaporeans are so unhappy about the ministers salaries being so low
that they are falling onto the MRT tracks to protest!

We should respect the wishes of the dead!

Defence Minister Teo Chee Hean told Parliament on Friday that the
Government is reviewing public sector salaries and changes would be
announced next month. According to his spin, resignations in the civil
service are up and it has become more difficult to attract high-
calibre officers because of the tight job market.
Hah! Aren't these the fat cats who get extra bonuses "because the
economy is good" even when middle managers in the private sector are
losing their rice bowl because they hit the magical age of 40?
This is nothing but another badly disguised attempt to increase the
Ministers' salary. Apparently Goh Chok Tong's sob story that the
benchmark for Ministers' pay haven't been readjusted "to reflect
latest private sector pay" didn't go down too well with informed
Singaporeans at all. They may have been able to ram through parliament
the hefty increase in salary and allowances for the president without
catching the public's attention, but all the GST flak will definitely
will cramp their plans to fatten their greedy wallets further.
