Statul cu cei mai bine plătiți miniștri din lume anunță noi majorări salariale. Salariul premierului se va apropia de trei milioane de dolari

The Singaporean government has approved significant salary increases for ministers, with an immediate adjustment of up to 9%. This could raise the Prime Minister's salary to around $3 million annually. The new salary scale sets the maximum for a new minister at $1.42 million, while entry-level salaries will be approximately $950,000. To address public criticism, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will donate his salary increase to charity over the next five years. The government justifies high salaries to attract skilled individuals and reduce corruption risks, using the top earners in the private sector as a benchmark. The last salary adjustment occurred in 2012, following a 36% cut to quell public discontent.
