If one day, Vietnam has a free election, and I run for President of a Free-Democratic-Republic of Vietnam, and I am elected by the Vietnamese people as President of a Free-Democratic-Republic of Vietnam, what would I do?
First, because President Ho Chi Minh said “Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom”, I would propose that the Vietnamese National Assembly add the word “Freedom” to the name of Vietnam, so that the name of Vietnam would be the Free-Democratic-Republic of Vietnam.
Second, I will propose that the National Assembly allow me, the President of the Free Vietnam, to hire Mr. Jeff Bezos, an American, former founder and President of the world’s largest online sales company Amazon, to be the Prime Minister of the Free Vietnam, for a term of 20 years, with the aim that after 20 years, he will make the Vietnamese economy grow 10 times, while currently the average income per capita of Vietnamese people is about 300 USD/month, after 20 years, it will increase to 3,000 USD/month, and Vietnam will be among the 10 largest economies in the world.
Mr. Bezos’ salary will be 100 million USD/month.
Yes, don’t be surprised, Mr. Bezos’ salary will be 100 million USD/month, which is about 2,000 billion VND/month, 1 year will be 1.2 billion USD – that is about 24,000 billion VND each year, for a period of 20 years.
Yes, don’t be surprised.
Because first, Mr. Bezos’s current assets are about 240 billion USD, the second richest in the world, after Elon Musk. Without a salary of 100 million USD/month, he won’t accept the job.
And second, his task is very heavy, and very difficult, which is to promote Vietnam’s economy to grow 10 times after 20 years, with an inflation rate of no more than 2%/year.
It’s not easy, my friend.
The bigger the economy, the slower the growth rate, we can’t have a growth rate of 7%/year forever.
If the average income per capita of our free Vietnam reaches 3,000 USD/month, that means our GDP from the current level of about 300 billion USD, will increase to 3,000 billion USD/year, larger than the GDP of France, the UK today, only less than Germany, and Japan, then we pay Mr. Bezos 1.2 billion USD/year, which is worthy for him, and worth it for us, the Free Vietnam, to boldly do.
Because you should try to look at those bastards like Bau Doan in Thanh Hoa, or Van Thinh Phat in Saigon, their income is also about 100 million USD/month, or more, but have they done anything good for our socialist Vietnam?
No, they only destroy, only make the country poor.
Therefore, is paying a salary of 100 million USD/month to the Prime Minister of Free Vietnam Jeff Bezos, to have a rich people, a strong country, a fair and civilized society, worth it?
It’s worth it.
What about after Mr. Bezos?
The Prime Minister of Free Vietnam after Mr. Bezos, will have a salary of about 100,000 USD/month only, because the next one will just follow the way the previous one did, it’s not too hard.
And how much will I, the President of Free Vietnam, have a salary of 100,000 USD/month?
Only about 100,000 USD/month.
Don’t open your mouth like that.
This salary is equivalent to the salary of the Prime Minister of Singapore, Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew receives a salary of about 100,000 Singapore dollars/month, which is about 1.2 million Singapore dollars/year.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew once said that the salaries of Singaporean government officials must be equivalent to those of private business owners in Singapore, otherwise the Singapore Government cannot recruit talented and clean people into the Singaporean government.
Lee Kuan Yew told the story that when he persuaded Dr. Tony Tan – who was the General Director of Overseas Chinese Bank – OCBC – to give up this position – which had a salary of 3 million Singapore dollars/1 year, to become a Minister of a Singapore State, Lee Kuan Yew proposed that the Singapore Parliament allow him to pay Mr. Tan a salary of 1 million Singapore dollars/1 year-about 950.000 USD- but it was still only 1/3 of Mr. Tan’s old salary at OCBC, and Mr. Tan agreed to be a Minister for Lee Kuan Yew for several years.
Mr. Lee Kuan Yew said that the salary of the President of the Philippines is only about 1,000 USD/month, the Prime Minister of Malaysia is about 10,000 USD/month, the President of Indonesia is about 2,500 USD/month.
But in fact, all these Presidents and Prime Ministers are really billionaires!!!.
Their billions of USD are money from corruption.
Their salaries of a few thousand USD are just fake.
And the salary of 100,000 Singapore dollars of Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew is a real salary, without any other income, he has to pay for his own house, food, electricity, water, rent, everything, except for 1 official car, and security costs paid by the Singapore State.
And the level of cleanliness and non-corruption of the Singapore State is among the cleanest in the world, clean together with some other countries such as Switzerland, Finland, Denmark, Sweden.
Therefore, I will also learn from Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, I will propose that the National Assembly of Free Vietnam allow the President of Vietnam to be paid a salary of 100,000 USD/month, not low, but not high either. But enough for me to slap the faces of those who bribe, bring envelopes to my house, hoping to get some kind of license.
I will say it straight to the faces of those bastards who intend to bring money to bribe me, look here, I have a salary of 100,000 USD/month, enough to spend, no need to accept your dirty bribes, you guys take that dirty envelope back, and do all the procedures to apply for a license according to the law, then you will have a license, equal to everyone else, otherwise, goodbye, if not goodbye, if you don’t bring the dirty envelope back, I will call my 2 German Shepherds to bite off your 2 testicles.
What do you think, is that okay?
