President's salary to increase from $3.37 to $4.26 millions
Changes to President, Istana expenditure
Parliament approved the allocation of an additional $1.25 million to the Civil List, which specifies the salaries of the President, his personal staff, and expenditure. -- ST PHOTO: ALPHONSUS CHERN PARLIAMENT on Thursday approved the allocation of an additional $1.25 million to the Civil List, which specifies the salaries of the President, his personal staff, and expenditure. The amount set aside for the President's salary is $4,267,500, up from $3,376,800. The entertainment allowance remains unchanged at $73,000. The amount for staff salaries increases by $471,600 to $4,532,400. Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said these increases were to cater for an additional staff officer to support the work of the Council of Presidential Advisers, a Butler Manager to meet the increased demand for butler services at the Istana, and to meet higher variable payments on account of strong economic growth. The President's salary rises in tandem with that of political, judicial and civil service appointment holders. Meanwhile, the sum for Istana expenses was cut by $25,300 to $2,068,300. The total sum allocated for the Civil List is $11.6 million. For the next financial year, Mr Tharman said this overall sum will remain unchanged, but the allocation for the president's salary and allowances will drop to $3,782,000 due to lower variable payments anticipated. An extra $610,000 will be set aside for the Presidential Swearing-in Ceremony which is likely to be in late August. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ More good years ahead. |

From $3.37mil to $4.26mil, that's >26% inrease!
What work does the President do, to be paid so high a salary? This is just a sign, that the PM, MM, SM and all Minister's pay will increase by >20% soon! One party government, one voice, one decision. Is there any more hope for Singapore, when pple are enriching themselves instead of placing the citizens first? |
