ABOUT half of the head honchos of Straits Times Index (STI) companies studied by The Business Times saw a decline in their respective pay cheques in FY2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic hampered businesses across most sectors.

Collectively, their total remuneration edged up marginally to S$200.80 million in FY2020, from around S$194.50 million in FY2019. This was largely due to the pay packages of the chiefs at Genting Singapore, Wilmar International, and the total stated by the Jardine Matheson Holdings which reported the lump sum of all its directors.
