Singapore has approved a significant increase in the salaries of senior political officials, with Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's salary set to reach approximately 3.6 million Singapore dollars annually (about 2.8 million US dollars) starting from October 2026, making it the highest salary among political leaders worldwide. This increase is part of an effort to attract top talent into politics, enhance administrative integrity, and address challenges related to living standards and salaries in the private sector. However, the move has faced criticism due to the rising cost of living and the substantial gap with the average citizen's income, which was around 5,775 Singapore dollars per month in 2025, with some viewing this as significantly exceeding the typical citizen's income level.
