Motion: Yeo Wan Ling on government response to political salaries review
The reaction on the ground is not a comfortable one. Feedback from workers in the land transport sector on the salary adjustments revolved around the timing and the realities. MP Yeo Wan Ling shared these observations in parliament on Thursday (Sep 10), saying they must be taken seriously. She stressed the need to explain plainly how the benchmark works - as a reference point within a salary structure. She also pointed out that if political remuneration is tied to Singapore's progress, then the progress of workers must be part of that picture. She also agreed with workers that political service must ultimately be motivated by a desire to serve. Ms Yeo said it is right to scrutinise the numbers but Singaporeans should not lose sight of the need for the framework to enable capable people to step forward to serve.
