Following the recent announcement of paycuts for ministers - which many Singaporeans feel are still not enough - Ms Fu's comments angered many who felt that those who go into public service should not do so in the expectation of huge public rewards.
Kufuatia tangazo la hivi karibuni la kukata rufani kwa ajili ya mawaziri - jambo ambalo wananchi wengi wa Singapore wanahisi bado halitoshi - maelezo ya Ms Fu yaliwakasirisha wengi waliohisi kwamba wale wanaoingia katika utumishi wa umma hawapaswi kufanya hivyo wakitazamia kupata thawabu kubwa za umma.
