Just my Observation

Not for love of money, but of Humanity. "Greater is he who works for the good of all, then he who works for the good of himself only" ~ Matthew 25:40: "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"- (NIV). I live in Singapore where the Emperor must not be disturbed.

And he explained why Singapore has one of the world's highest paid and best public services.

"We may be the highest paid, but at the same time it is also important for them to understand we're probably the most effective, the best civil service in the world. And this came about because AUPE and PSD (Public Service Division), we work hand in hand, so on the one hand, we negotiate for fair terms, for good terms, for responsive rewards for civil servants...
Yeah right, working hand in glove to cut corners to raise elite salaries [link1][link2].
(following in the foot steps of BP: ['BP cost-cutting blamed for 'avoidable' Deepwater Horizon oil spill' [Guardian, 6Jan2011] )

Mini SG version: police cutting corners about 'defensive driving' courses or did Mas Selamat escape captivity today?
- Is the SG govt (Like cost cutting BP) 'killing' civil servants etc with its cost cutting measures- lower costs = higher pay (profits) rite?
- Or does is the turn over rate at SPF so high that every other cop is new and inexperienced?- 3 cops in the car, all of them enjoying a Daytona joy ride?, could have easily been >3 corpses (inside n out) judging by the looks of the crash.
- Have also noted on frequent occasion, rear passengers in police cars not wearing seat belts.
[Stomp Link:'What happened? Police patrol car crashes into lamp post': "The impact of the accident was so great that the bonnet of the car had buckled under the pressure.. along Sin Ming Ave at the road bend just before reaching Sin Ming Walk junction towards Marymount Road."]
- More haste, less speed.
- Actually its only the top people that get all the salary, for the lowest get peanuts- resulting in Singapore having the world's 2nd highest Gap Between Rich and Poor [source: Countries with the Biggest Gaps Between Rich and Poor (BusinessWk, 16Oct 2009)]
- More haste, less speed.
