How CPIB saved the average Singaporean from near financial ruin.

And so prevented Ministerial level salaries in Singapore from hitting divinity benchmark levels.

I am so happy that CPIB decided to bring CHC Kong Hee Fatt Chai to task for laundering tithe (church building fund) $$$ to sponsor his wife half-naked striptease show to bait more to paystratospheric fees(/ membership fees /tithes) to him for his 30, 60, 100fold blessings ponzi scheme (like must sell HDB to give to church: the church being Kong Hee's sentosa cove pent house/ concealed earnings as I read it)...Indeed CPIB is doing its job: a difficult and thankless one at eradicating corruption in Singapore.

I cannot imagine the following MP demanding 'divinity' level salaries for Ministers using the undeclared ang-pow earnings of Kong Hee's (/other prosperity gospel preachers) international speaking circuit as benchmark.

Today= dignity standard, tomorrow = divinity standard.

Singaporeans have indeed survived a close shave with Armageddon. There is yet no need to sell one's wife and children to give to PAP: yet: thank you CPIB.

"If the annual salary of the Minister of Information, Communication and Arts is only $500,000, it may pose some problems when he discuss policies with media CEOs who earn millions of dollars because they need not listen to the minister's ideas and proposals. Hence, a reasonable payout will help to maintain a bit of dignity." - MP Lim Wee Kiak apologises for comments on pay [IMG URL]

If CEOs won't listen to ministers, I think the solution is to look into their tax declarations/ payments: too many MNCs evading tax and thats why their CEOs are so overpaid. (E.g. Apple and Starbucks pay like less than 1% tax in their main operating locations): that is the better way to catch the CEOs attention, on all other occasions, there is no possibility of diverting a CEO's attention from his Victoria Secrets model girlfriend's every whim and fancy: unless its a N Korean registered company and U are Kim Jong En that is...

30-fold, 60-fold, 100-fold returns on your church donations This is where the genius of CHC lies and the secret to its superior earning power. In fact, I have yet to encounter any public-listed company on SGX, HKSE, NYSE, Nasdaq that demonstrates better potential. The pastor preaches that God will give 30-fold, 60-fold, 100-fold returns on your tithe. But, you have to be generous in your donations first so that you will receive in harvest proportions. I guess that is the origin of the name City Harvest. Please watch the video ”The 10 Laws Of The Harvest” yourself in its entirety and interpret for yourself. It is a message that cleverly uses an astute understanding of human nature to maximize profits. If I were a CHC member, I will be tempted to increase my tithe as much as possible. Not mincing my words, I am doing it out of pure greed. I do not think I will be alone. It is perfectly fine if members of CHC strongly disagree and thinks that I am not representative for most of them. After all, I can only speak for myself.
