Singapore increases ministers' pay after 15 years
Singapore News announces the first pay raise for ministers and political officeholders in 15 years, despite their salaries already being among the highest worldwide. This change aims to attract talented individuals to pursue politics and ensure the government can continue to attract top candidates. The annual salary for the lowest-paid minister will increase from around 1.1 million to 1.8 million Singapore dollars, while the Prime Minister's salary will rise from 2.2 million to 3.6 million Singapore dollars annually. Current ministers will not automatically transition to the new salaries but will receive exceptional increases of up to 9% starting October 2026. Additionally, the Prime Minister will donate the increase to community services over five years.
