Singapore ministers' pay rise: Wong's S$1.4m raise and charity pledge
Singapore's government will raise ministers' annual salaries, including prime minister Lawrence Wong's, by about S$1.4 million to around S$3.6 million, with Wong pledging to donate the increase to charity over five years; the move, aimed at attracting talent and deterring corruption, has drawn both support and criticism amid concerns about cost of living and job security.
