Do you believe high pay comes with high responsibility? Would you quit a high paying job over a principle?

Just curious.  
 

i keep reading like this minister should do this or do that cos he is paid millions to do so.

 

Let’s say you were paid millions and you were in that position, would you risk your job for that?

 

Example would be

Allowing foreign talents to work in Singapore and potentially displace Singaporeans and you know there is a chance stricter regulations would lead to some companies moving out (but only a chance as you won’t know until you acted).

 

Female NS (maybe for nursing).  You are sure it’s good but it would mean even more people are delayed entry into the workforce which could lead to companies hiring more foreigners or moving out (again it might not happen but you have to make the decision first).

 

Scrap NS have a fully volunteer armed force of career soldiers.  Seems good but if there is an invasion and lack of soldiers, that’s it.  Of cos the invasion might not happen but if it happens and we are conquered cos lack of soldiers, it’s you who will be made responsible cos you scrapped NS.  Would you do it?  Obviously we might still be conquered even with NS but at least you won’t be condemned as the one who scrapped NS and made us more vulnerable

but once there are too many jiak liao bees in the system, then it will just struggle to maintain the delicate equilibrium

Balance is a word easily abused. 😂

If u managed to rise to that level and take that pay then yes. That's part of the package. High pay(not annual increments) high responsibilities... With this high responsibilities, then u need to throw on more time to understand from all levels on the decisions u will be making... 

 

The ppl r dulan with those selected(or parachuted) cos they don't fully understand the ground then talking cock to brush issues aside(rental dun affect price, phv leasing car dun affect coe price, erp2.0, etc) .. as tax paying citizen will chiu feel chiur $$$ flowing to those paid to rep chiu as justified?
