Are the rich getting richer?
published: Wednesday | November 27, 2002

THE EDITOR ,Sir:

I READ and heard over the media recently that MPs have been granted a 15 per cent pay rise, the second this year. I don't understand, because the legislators have only been sworn in last week and civil servants are only granted salary increases once every two years.

Moreover, I understand that some groups have been negotiating for pay increase for the past six months and they are told that they cannot get any increase over five per cent. I may be naive, so I want somebody more enlightened to give me some explanation for this discrepancy.

I am etc.,
