1 | Singapore: Ministers to Take a Pay Cut | Singapore: Nahena ny Karaman'ny Minisitra |
2 | Singapore's government ministers are some of the highest paid in the world, with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong famously earning more than Barack Obama, David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy combined. | Ny minisitra ao amin'ny governemantan'i Singapore no anisan'ny be karama indrindra manerantany, ka ny an'ny Praiminisitra Lee Hsien Loong dia malaza fa betsaka noho ny raisin'i Barack Obama, i David Cameron ary i Nicolas Sarkozy mitambatra. |
3 | Although the government has often defended the high salaries, saying that it attracts the best talent and prevents corruption, their pay packets have gained the resentment of many Singaporeans, further fueling accusations of the divide between the governing elite and the people. | Na dia miaro tena mandrakariva aza ny governemanta fa hisintonana izay tena manampahaizana sy ho fisorohana amin'ny kolikoly no anton'ny karama ambony dia ambony dia mahasorisorena ny ankamaroan'ny Singaporeana ihany ny volabe azony, ary ampangaina ho mampisara-bazana bebe kokoa ny mpitondra sy ny vahoaka. |
4 | High ministerial pay was a hot issue in the 2011 General Elections, and after the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) won with their lowest vote share in history, Prime Miniser Lee convened a committee to review ministerial salaries. | Ny karama ambonin'ny minisitra no lohahevitra mavaivay nandritra ny fifidianana ankapobeny 2011, ary rehefa nandresy tamin'ny ampahambato ambany indrindra teo amin'ny tantara ny antoko mitantana Antokon'ny Asam-Bahoaka (PAP) dia nifanaraka ny hanangana vaomiera handinika ny karaman'ny minisitra ny PM Lee. |
5 | The committee has recently submitted their finished report to the prime minister, and a press conference was called on 4 January, 2012, to reveal the committee's recommendations to the public. | Vao nametraka ny ny tatitra tamin'ny praiminisitra indrindra ny vaomiera, ary nisy ny valandresaka amin'ny mpanao gazety ny 5 Janoary 2012 hamoahana ampahibemaso ny volavolan-kevitry ny vaomiera amin'ny vahoaka. |
6 | Unlike in the General and Presidential elections where efforts were made to engage with new media, news wires, online media and bloggers were not allowed to attend the press conference. | Tsy tahaka ny tamin'ny fifidianana ankapobeny sy ny fifidianana filoham-pirenena izay nanasana ny mpisera fitaovam-pampitam-baovao, gazety an-tserasera ary mpamaham-bolongana dia tsy navela hanatrika ny valandresaka intsony ireo voatonona ireo. |
7 | Only local media - referring to Singapore's state-owned media organisations Singapore Press Holdings and MediaCorp - were invited. | Ny gazety ao an-toerana ihany - izany hoe ny gazety tantanin'ny fanjakana sy ny vondron-gazety ao Singapore Press Holdings ary ny MediaCorp - ihany no nasaina. |
8 | @tocsg: MICA-approved local media (SPH, MediaCorp) are already at NKF building for the press conference for unveiling the ministerial salary report. | ny MICA, ny haino aman-jery nahazo alalana (SPH, MediaCorp) dia samy ao amin'ny tranoben'ny NKF hanatrika ny valan-dresaka hihaino ny tatitra momba ny karaman'ny minisitra |
9 | This move by the government raised questions and suspicions of media spin: | Nahatonga fanontaniana sy nampiahiahy ny mpikirakira fampitam-baovao izao fikisahana nataon'ny governemanta izao: |
10 | @vinyarb: how come no news on the ministerial salary yet ah? post con meeting to agree to what to write? | Tsy nandrenensam-baovao ny momba ny karaman'ny minisitra hatramin'izao? mbola nisy ny fifanekena amin'izay tokony hosoratana aorian'ny fivoriana? |

12 | However, reports soon came out announcing recommendations of fairly hefty cuts - a 36% pay cut for the prime minister, and a 51% pay cut for the president, among other things. | Saingy nivoaka tsy ela ny tatitra mandrisika ny fampihenana goavana - fampihenana karama 36% ho an'ny praiminisitra , ary hatramin'ny 51% ho an'ny filoha ankoatra ny an'ny hafa. |
13 | Prime Minister Lee, who used to earn S$3 million (approximately US$2. 3 million), will now earn about S$2. | Ny PM Lee izay zatra mandray S$3 tapitrisa (manodidina ny 2,3 tapitrisa dolara amerikana) izany dia handray S$2,2 tapitrisa (manodidina ny 1,7 tapitrisa dolara amerikana). |
14 | 2 million (approximately US$1. | |
15 | 7 million). The president, who used to earn more than the prime minister, will now earn less at about S$1. | Ny filoha izay nandray karama ambony noho ny PM teo aloha indray dia handray ambanimbany kokoa amin'ny karama vaovao S$1. |
16 | 54 million (approximately US$1. 2 million). | 54 tapitrisa (manodidina ny 1,2 tapitrisa dolara amerikana). |
17 | Although Singaporeans were pleased to hear that the government is set to accept these recommended cuts, many still noted that Singaporean leaders are still among the highest paid in the world. | Na dia mahafaly ny Singaporeana aza ny fahavononan'ny governemanta hanaiky ny fampihenana dia mbola mahamarika ihany ny maro fa mbola anisan'ny mandray karama ambony indrindra manerantany hatrany ny mpitondra Singaporeana. |
18 | Netizens react using the #ministerpaycut hashtag | Maneho ny heviny amin'ny fampiasana tenifototra #ministerpaycut ny mpiserasera |
19 | @mrbrown: Obama ruminates on the Singapore #ministerpaycut | Mitsakotsako momba an'i Singapore i Obama |
20 | @BeccaDBus: Hmm, no mention of cuts for MPs. | Tsy mbola voalaza ny fampihenana ny an'ny depiote. |
21 | Only ministers. | Ny an'ny minisitra ihany. |
22 | Really? y'all think TPL is worth 15K monthly? really? | Tena izany ve? mieritreritra ve ny TPL fa mendrika azy ireo ny mandray 15.000 isam-bolana? |
23 | @qwm82: The fact that it is pegged to the top 1000 earners means that it is still seriously flawed #ministerpaycut | Tena izany ve? Ny marina raha mbola miteronterona any amin'ny 1000 mandray vola ambony indrindra dia mbola tena misy maloto ao |
24 | @RealSingaporean: After the #ministerpaycut, the easiest way to become a millionaire in Singapore, is still to join politics. | Taorian'ny fampihenana ny karaman'ny minisitra dia mbola ny fidirana politika ihany no fomba tsotra indrindra hahampanankarena |
25 | Some Singaporeans feel that on top of the pay cut, the attitude towards being in government should change. | Misy ny Singaporeana sasany mieritreritra fa ambonin'ny fampihenana ny karama dia tokony hiova ny fihetsik'ireo ao anatin'ny governemanta. |
26 | @jiw3n: Paycut or not, you're elected by us to serve/ lead us. | |
27 | You don't do it for the money. | Na nihena na tsia, nofidiana hiasa/hitarika anay ianareo. |
28 | You do it because you want to. | Tsy noho ny vola no nanaovanareo an'io. |
29 | #ministerpaycut | Nataonareo io satria notadiavinareo |
