Singapore Ministers Get Pay Hike | Dubai News

Singapore’s public service is getting a major pay boost as PM Lawrence Wong announces historic salary hikes for ministers — the first in 15 years — with top-tier officials seeing jumps from $1.1M to $1.8M and PM Wong’s own salary rising from $2.2M to $3.6M. While not everyone gets an immediate raise, political officeholders will receive a one-time 9% adjustment starting October 15, tied to performance. PM Wong pledges to donate his entire raise to charity for five years. The new remuneration framework uses top 1,000 earners’ median income minus 40% for public service, reviewed every five years — all while defending competitive pay as essential to attract elite talent and ensure strong governance, with no hidden perks.
