I'd be sceptical given just how greedy corrupt bureaucrats can be.

There's not much to stop a crook being both officially well paid and totally corrupt.

Yes, but the position will be taken by a honest guy already.

Ah, you have a good heart to give them the benefit of the doubt but remember these aphorisms:

A fish rots from the head down.

and

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

and

Nothing disinfects better than sun light.

IMHO they all apply when dealing with public servants in unchecked positions of power.

According to transparency international, Singapore is one of the least corrupt countries on earth. If a politician could make several million dollars a year just from his job, you could attract major corporation CEO caliber people. Otherwise, why would a highly talented person want to deal with untangling that mess?
