Holding off political salary updates will weaken S’pore’s ability to build strong team of leaders: Chan Chun Sing
Ministerial salaries have not been adjusted since 2012.
Minister Chan Chun Sing has warned that postponing political salary updates could weaken Singapore's capacity to develop a robust and diverse leadership team. This framework was last adjusted in 2012 and was not revised again in 2017, 2023, or 2025, despite previous plans to do so. Chan explained that the framework, known as the "three Cs" of calibre, commitment, and clean, must stay relevant to attract capable and committed individuals.
