Singapore PM's salary stuns White House official
Tue Apr 10 2007, 6:50 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) - A senior White House official on Tuesday admitted he was floored by the news that Singapore's prime minister earned five times more than US
President George W. Bush.
"I'm going to emigrate and run for office in Singapore," the official said on condition he be identified only as "a senior administration official who sits in disbelief after reading that story."
On Monday, the Singapore government had announced a fresh 25.5 percent pay hike for Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, boosting his salary to 2.05 million dollars per year.
Bush gets paid 400,000 dollars per year for doing his job, according to the White House.
Combined with personal investment income, he and his wife Laura reported 618,694 dollars in taxable income in the 2005 fiscal year. They had to pay 187,768 dollars in federal taxes.
But maybe Bush shouldn't feel so bad. The Singaporean's paycheck is eight times fatter than Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's.

recently I was surfing internet and suddenly I discovered site named www.home-businessreviews.com I learned how to start my own home business and i was able after all quit my work where i was employed 1 year, now I'm making up to 5K USD month. I was able to make such kind of cash because I read some very great home based business ideas. At site named www.home-businessreviews.com Anyway seems that site owner at last found really good online business program which helped him to begin his own best home business opportunity, so he finally decided to set up site and tell about his own experience about earning money online. It seems that he lost so much money before he came across winner home business program which actually work. But which one? see at website below!
