Singapore boosts ministers' pay by 9 percent

The Singaporean government has announced an exceptional increase in ministers' salaries, with the minimum salary for a junior minister rising to 1.2 million Singapore dollars annually after a 9% increase starting October 15. Meanwhile, the reference salary for the Prime Minister has been raised from 2.2 million to 3.6 million Singapore dollars per year. The new salaries will not be automatically applied to current ministers; instead, increases will be based on performance and responsibilities, with a maximum cap of 9%. Additionally, allowances for non-ministerial Members of Parliament have also increased, and the Prime Minister announced that he will donate the entire fivefold increase in his salary to charity, aiming to attract talent to the government. This is the first such step in 15 years, and Singaporean ministers' salaries remain among the highest in the world.
