Ministerial Salaries - Shifting positions



2006 General Elections
Low Thia Khiang: Ministers' salary to be salary of poorest 20% of Singaporeans multiplied by 100 ( = $80,000 a month).

2007 in parliament
Sylvia Lim: Remuneration of political office holders be benchmarked to that of leaders in foreign countries. 

2012 in parliament
Gerald Giam: Proposed benchmarking against the 'elitist' MX9 (superscale), the pay scale of the top 1.2% of senior civil servants and pegged to the private sector. His proposal is even HIGHER than the review committee's. 

FAIL!
