Regarding this matter, it might be an elaborate way for Roh Moo Hyun to reward his buddies with big times pensions. That is what I think this is about. It's a scam, man ! after the recent FTA, I concluded that every President in the ROK had something bad they did and something respectable they did in office.

I sense that this government largess needs reform badly. Lord, “gbnhj”, that is so Chosun Dynasty (in a bad sense). I sense that this government largess needs reform badly.

Apparantly, due to their having served even short terms in the public eye, and having at times been let go in less than honorable conditions, they are <i>all</i> supported by a special government pension. Perhaps someone can find the link - it's a rich read. I recall that one of the arguements made in support of this pension was that, due to their former role, they could no longer be expected to take public transportation - as if they ever would!

What is really pathetic is that the outgoing Minister of Culture and Tourism seemed to be a very decent choice and an advocate for a culture of quality, rather than "how can we make money out of our culture?"
