Workers' Party Member of Parliament Jamus Lim has contested the government's interpretation of his party's proposed framework for calculating ministerial compensation. In a social media statement, Lim asserted that applying the Workers' Party formula would result in an annual salary of approximately S$1.08 million for an entry-level minister. This figure stands significantly below the S$1.8 million benchmark recently established by the government. Lim, who was unable to attend the parliamentary debate due to a prior engagement in Taiwan, sought to clarify the party's stance on the issue. He emphasized that the core of the disagreement lies in the underlying principles used to determine these pay structures, rather than just the final numbers. The discussion highlights ongoing differences between the ruling party and the opposition regarding the appropriate methodology for setting high-level public office salaries in Singapore.
