Terms of Reference:
The committee's terms of reference will be to review the basis and level of salaries for the President, Prime Minister, political appointment holders and Members of Parliament to help ensure honest and competent government.
The committee should take into account salaries of comparable jobs in the private sector, and also other reference points such as the general wage levels in Singapore.
The committee should also take into account the following guidelines:
a) While the salary of the President should reflect the President's high status as the head of state and his critical custodial role as holder of the second key, it should also take into account the fact that unlike the Prime Minister, he does not have direct executive responsibilities except as they relate to his custodial role.
b) The salary of ministers should have a significant discount to comparable private sector salaries to signify the value and ethos of political service.
Implementation:
The Government will base its new salaries on these recommendations.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has decided that the new salaries for political appointment holders will take effect from May 21, 2011, i.e. the date when the new Government took office.
Although the salary for the President will in principle commence from the new term of the President, President
S R Nathan has informed Prime Minister Lee that he will adopt the new salary from May 21, 2011
