Singapur has raised the salary of its Prime Minister by a million dollars. This comes despite public disapproval, as the city-state's ministers already hold the highest salaries in the world. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, who is already the highest-paid head of government globally, has accepted recommendations from an independent review that suggest a 9% increase in the salary for some senior ministers.
The new salary for Wong could range from 1.1 to 1.2 million Singapore dollars (740,000 to 810,000 euros) annually. These changes will take effect in the coming month. Wong has pledged to donate a portion of the salary increase to charities if he remains in office. The Prime Minister emphasized that this issue extends beyond mere salary, as it relates to the quality of political leadership needed to drive Singapore's progress and serve its citizens effectively.
