Chee Hong Tat on changes to meet expenditure needs of President’s Office
The President’s Office has been able to manage within its budget by re-allocating savings across certain classes of expenditure, amid rising operating costs, said Senior Minister of State for Finance Chee Hong Tat. Speaking in Parliament on Monday (Mar 6), he pointed out that the Civil List was last adjusted for FY2012. To enable the President’s Office to continue to meet its expenditure needs, he proposed raising the sums in the Civil List. These relate to the salaries of personal staff and expenses of households. Mr Chee said this round of increase is expected to be sufficient up to FY2025. This was approved by the House.
