'Substantial discount' in Ministers' pay

SINGAPORE ministers could get a paycut soon.

Calling the “substantial discount” that is in the works “a different model from the current one”, Mr Gerard Ee told The New Paper last night the revised version would better “reflect the ethos and value of public service”.

Mr Gerard Ee is now the head of a task force to review ministerial pay.

The pay of everyone in office - “from the president to Prime Minister Lee and the parliamentary secretaries” - is up for review.
