Where Are The World Class Leaders?

If you receive a world class salary, you need to perform world class leadership.  We are the most expensive city in the world, and yet we still debate on whether perfume or holidays can be part of the household budget.

Why were we able to produce world class leaders when we were poor?  And now we are so rich, we can’t.  Singaporeans are so afraid to be merely average performers and yet we allow average leadership to take place. The current batch of leaders is not world class but drawing world class salaries. 

World class salaries have no worry about perfume, overseas holidays, housing, cars and even private tuition for children.  Average performers will need to adjust their lifestyle, perhaps, excluding perfume, holidays, cars, tuition, big house, and should not dream of them.   They should go for spiritual achievements and not material goals.  

When we award our leaders with handsome salaries, we should not ask the citizens to lower their expectations.  This will create more social divides rather than social compact.  Perfume, holidays, and tuition are now part of the necessities for decent living in Singapore.  Big houses and big cars are out of reach for most Singaporeans, even for above average performers.
