What a fucking idiot, the author is. Michael Hwang was one of the judges who only consented to a short term appointment as judicial commissioner as he was No. 1 in Allen & Gledhill.

Wow, Cass888, why the need for profanity. And to return you the compliment, you are a FUCKING BLOODY NINCOMPOOP.

No one gives a damn whether MH was no. 1 or 99 in AG before he took up the appointment of JC. That he was earning several times more at AG before taking up the post, or as you put it "only consented to" as if he looked down upon it, is not of concern to the public.

What is of concern is that judges are independent and one of the main ways that this is achieved in countries with the Westminster model is through "security of tenure", which JCs clearly do not have.

As for Ministers, we want holders of high judicial office to put public service before pay and not the other way round. If taking a pay cut is going to be so painful, then please get lost and continue to do whatever you were doing in the private sector. SGD 234,800 annual pensionable salary is more than enough for any family to live on.

So, Cass888, next time, get the gist of the article before you go throwing profanities. The gist is "Sleeping on the job, physically or metaphorically, does not endear you to the enlightened masses, ...... especially if the job involves the discharge of an important public function ....." Zap" me if you wish, I'm not here for praise and rep points don't mean a thing to me.

Cheers.
