- TodayOnline (21 Aug 2011) - Tan Jee Say: S$500,000 Is Enough For Me
- JayWalk Online (28 Jul 2011) - Singapore Presidential Election 2011
First, we have Tan Kin Lian who shaves the President's salary (SGD 4 million+) by half, promising to donate at least half of his salary away.
Now, we have Tan Jee Say who comes in at $500k, thereby shaving Tan Kin Lian's intended salary to just a quarter.
So going by geometric progression where we have 1 > 1/2 > 1/4, that means the next candidate who plays the next salary cut card, shall declare his salary to 1/8 of Tan Jee Say's i.e. SGD 62,500 per year.
I like where this is heading. Heh heh.
Lai ah!!!! Singapore President Lelong!!! Lelong!!!

1/4 of TKL is actually 1/8 liao.
so the next guy must be 1/16.
I'm sorry but you lost me there. Care to break it down and show me your working?
ok i get your calculation now.
you are talking about the fraction of the latest offer. I am talking about the fraction of the whole ($4m).
the figure is still the same.
anyway reduction of salary or donating it is not just about $$$, it is about overpaid civil service. So what they are doing is like a big slap to the greedy civil servant.
Thats more important.
