2. The explanation.......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Hsien_Loong#Controversy

Lee Hsien Loong currently earns an annual salary of S$3,870,000 (US$ 2,856,930 ) <11>, an increase of 25% from S$3,091,200 (US$2,037,168)<12>, making him the highest paid head of government in the world. In comparison, the President of the United States earns a salary of US$400,000<13>. The new salary of SG$3.8 million took effect in January 2008. Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said in parliament that the Singapore head of state and his ministers deserve such a high income because Singapore is a small country that lacks a large pool of talented people.
