Govt seeks to set record straight on ministerial pay

Singapore

THE Prime Minister does not get paid up to S$4.5 million a year, the government has said, as it sought to debunk what it called "falsehoods" about ministerial salaries that have surfaced recently.

Government website Factually, which is run by the Public Communications Division of the Ministry of Communications and Information, said in an article on Sunday that there have been inaccurate reports about ministerial salaries circulating in recent weeks.
