“如果新闻、通讯及艺术部长年薪只有50万，当他和身价数百万的电讯公司总裁开会商讨政策问题时，可能面对一些困难。因为总裁们可能认为没有必要听取部长的意见与建议，因此合理的薪酬将有助于维持一点尊严。”义顺集选区议员林伟杰
“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.”

Parliamentary debate 2007
“Sir, I want to check with the Minister again on the strict criteria on the entitlement for PA recipients. May I ask him what is his definition of “subsistence living”? Am I correct to say that, out of $260 per month for PA recipients, $100 goes to rental, power supply and S&C, and leaving them with only $5 a day to live on? Am I correct to say that any basic meal in any hawker centre is already $2.50 to $3.00 per meal? Therefore, is it too much to ask for just three meals a day as an entitlement for the PA recipients?” – MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC, Dr Lily Neo

“PM Lee said voters in wards won by the opposition cannot expect the same improvement promised by the PAP. I want to ask PM Lee one thing, “Whose money are you using for the upgrading?! PM Lee Who is paying your salary? PM Lee, who is funding your grow & share package? Singaporeans, this is your money. So can someone remind us, why are we still so scared of the PAP?”
