It&#039;s also changed how entire communities in the US are seen and treated. Mitch McCann with this report for CNA from New York.</p>

He said the challenge is reducing the opportunity cost for Singaporeans to step forward and join the government earlier, while they are still in the prime of their careers. A former medical doctor, Dr Tan gave up a nearly 30-year career to enter politics in 2020. He shared that he would never have entered politics if money was his primary consideration. He also stressed that the review of political salaries is not about matching ministers&#039; salary to private sector pay. Ivy Chok reports.</p>

Rather, it is their call to serve that must come first. During a Parliament debate lasting four hours, more than 10 Members of Parliament spoke on the issue of political salaries. This comes after the government announced a one-off pay increase of up to 9% as part of recommendations to update political salaries. The Workers&#039; Party supported parts of the review but questioned the formula on political salaries. WP chief Pritam Singh said the party favours a formula it proposed in 2012, which pegs ministerial salaries to a multiple of an MP&#039;s salary. Nasyrah Rohim reports.</p>

When assessing ministers, Mr Wong said he considers their overall performance over time rather than “one speech, one controversy or one set of headlines”. He added that ministerial assessments should not become a public popularity contest where individuals are compared and ranked each year.</p>
<p>Mr Wong was speaking in parliament on Thursday (Sep 10) during a debate on changes to Singapore’s political salary framework.</p>

MP Ng Shi Xuan said this in parliament on Thursday (Sep 10) as he moved an adjournment motion on enabling kids to reclaim childhood in the AI era. He offered four recommendations - strengthen community programmes as meaningful alternatives to screens; improve playgrounds and recognise them as developmental infrastructure; strengthen screen time guidelines and social media safeguards for children below 18; and consider expanding the Grow Well SG framework into a broader national child development framework. Responding, Minister of State for Digital Development and Information Rahayu Mahzam said Mr Ng’s ideas align with many government efforts that already exist and can be scaled up. MDDI will continue to build on the work, in cooperation with other ministries and taking into account lessons from other countries, she said.</p>

Finding the right combination is already difficult; we should not make it harder for this or any government by narrowing the field even before selection begins, he said. Mr Chan said the goal of the salary framework is to provide enough range and flexibility to attract a strong and diverse group of political leaders. Pay is not the be all and end all, but we cannot pretend it is not relevant, he said. He went on to clarify details of the framework and address concerns and suggestions raised during the debate. They include the ministerial salary benchmark and variability in payouts, incorporating new indicators into the framework, using role-based comparators instead of top earners to benchmark salaries and the challenges of multi-year assessments.</p>

They differ mainly on the formula. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong highlighted these observations in parliament on Thursday (Sep 10). He pointed out that in this term of government, there is no practical difference because it is taking a gradual and restrained approach in implementation. Within this term of government, there is also agreement on the implementation approach. Beyond that, it will have to consider the circumstances then. Five years from now, there will be another independent review; the committee then will look at the framework afresh, taking into account developments at that time, he said. Mr Wong pointed out that in politics, there is always a tendency to highlight differences and exaggerate them. He reiterated the areas of common ground, saying the issue is ultimately “not about me, the present Cabinet or even the PAP government of today”. Whoever governs Singapore will face the same challenge - to persuade good people to step forward and to assemble the strongest possible team for our country, he said. “So, whatever our differences, all of us have an interest in ensuring that Singapore continues to be well-governed,” he said. This means putting in place a framework that gives future governments and prime ministers the ability to sustain the quality of political leadership that Singapore will continue to need, he added. </p>

He said while many would like to see more leaders and senior professionals from the private sector step up, it would usually be appropriate for such candidates to start in junior political appointments. The salary scale must therefore be flexible enough to accommodate them. He suggested providing candidates taking large pay cuts with 60 per cent of their last pay, subject to an appropriate cap, for a few years to ease the transition. Promising private sector candidates should also be encouraged to come forward without the assumption or expectation that all, or even most, must stay in office for the long haul, he said. Assoc Prof Ho spoke in parliament on Thursday (Sep 10).</p>

This “clean wage” model protects their independence and ensures their decisions are made solely in Singaporeans’ interests. MP Christopher de Souza said this in parliament on Thursday (Sep 10). He said the workload of MPs has increased “exponentially” over the past 15 years, partly due to their being much more accessible to constituents through social media and online platforms. Demands on ministers and other political office holders have risen even further, he added, as policymaking has become increasingly multifaceted, multi-jurisdictional and multidimensional. Mr de Souza said the political salaries review and the government’s statements on the issue show a willingness to put “courage, conviction and principle” ahead of political expediency.</span></p>]]></video:description><video:duration>1093</video:duration><video:publication_date>2026-09-10T14:35:00+08:00</video:publication_date><video:player_loc>https://mediacorp-videosbc.akamaized.net/media/v1/pmp4/static/clear/6057984932001/2f2c5aa2-f203-4233-b465-f7ac3b2ef729/5399f42c-0d8b-455e-8fe9-cb7491a2f0a4/main.mp4</video:player_loc></video:video></url></urlset>
