Singapore

SINGAPORE'S biggest employer - the civil service - will give its employees their biggest bonus in four years, reflecting the brightening economy.

All 84,000 employees in government ministries will receive an annual variable component (AVC) of one month's pay next month. This is on top of a half-month AVC they received in July and a 13th month bonus, adding to a total of 2.5 months in bonus this year.
