Singapore PM's benchmark salary to rise 64% in first pay review since 2010

Singapore will raise the Prime Minister's benchmark salary by 64 per cent, from S$2.2m to S$3.6m (about US$2.85m), the Public Service Division said — the first adjustment to political officeholder pay in 15 years. Existing ministers will receive only a one-off increase of up to 9 per cent from 15 October.
