Listening to this song from down under, it really brings back memories of our unique sense of democracy. can’t wait to come back to sg, kudos mr brown, excellent work!
November 12th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Really nice! I love it!

I think this is funny but very interesting. You have no idea as a foreigner living in singapaling you appreciate some things and you wonder about others. Great work though Mr. Brown

ROFL good one mr brown!

I think Mr. Brown should also make a song on this. What our SMG said “Are you convinced by SM Goh’s speech “New immigrants help sustain and enrich Singaporean way of life” and why?”…(see link above)

If any of you become MP, i guess you guys will “ha ha ha” too.
Morals oso wash with soap & bleach.

Hahahaha…..men in white!!
November 12th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Do any of them really receive more pay than US president?
November 12th, 2009 at 4:56 pm

We can make it cheaper, better and faster. We have the technology. We can build the 32 dollars 76 cent man.

HOORAY! U HIT THE BULL’S EYE!
GREAT JOB, MR BROWN & GANG!
Perhaps, in our next election, we should invite B.OBAMA to come here and form an opposition party and…. Why work so hard for Americans when he can get millions and have an easier life? Only the title of US PRESIDENT….sounds awesome…but earns walnuts (not peanuts! “Peanuts” is a word reserved for only some millionaire tai-tai), right?
[[ Jerry, the answer to your Q… YES, YES. YES! about time you wake up too!]]
MR BROWN, u should have included this in your cute song:
why the millionaires of our ministers no contribute thousands to projects such as the current LEGO PROJECT? The man who started it should be an good role model by donating a million $ leh! Just talk only.
A million $ to a millionaire is nothing;
a $2 donation to ‘buy’ a lego brick given by someone who earns $1K is AWESOME!

….hahaha…the sarky laugh is so obvious but i like it !!!
November 12th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
no lyrics??
November 13th, 2009 at 2:24 am
Hear the songs countless times and still have the “not cheaper, you better, better faster” rings in my head. It was a better song than “Mosquito” that I put up in Youtube some month back.
Therfore this time no different. I throw in beautiful dancers (better than the Young hip hop ministers). With lyric too. Enjoy :

To be Cheaper!???
Corruption how???
would these professionals become more likely to be corrupt when they become cheaper to employers?
1. Security related
2. accounting involved
3. legal involved
4. factory involved (goods and parts in factory)
5. secretarial work related (business intelligence or secrets)
6. etc
Come, lets come together.

Jerry@November 12th, 2009 at 2:24 pm,
If I am not mistaken, even the most junior Singaporean minister is paid more than the US President. It is hard to find a convenient table of the precise figures, but here are some links:
Reuters article indicating the Prime Minister’s pay to be 5 times that of (the then) outgoing president George W. Bush.
http://www.reuters.com/article/managementIssues/idUSSIN13858120090120
Wikipedia entry about the Singapore cabinet which includes details about how ministerial salaries are pegged.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_of_Singapore
Finally, this article gives a ballpark figure (supposedly based on a news article) of the salary ranges of the top earners in Singapore on which ministerial salaries are pegged.
http://www.salary.sg/2007/salary-benchmark-for-ministers/
Hopefully, this gives you a good overall picture and why we (Singaporeans) all find humor (though I must say from a personal perspective, a somewhat-black humor) in this song.

Comic tragedy. Funny but a doleful reminder of how powerless we are when our intelligence is so terribly insulted by “gahmen logic”.
