最貴的首腦?新加坡總理領(lǐng)取布什五倍年薪
[ 2007-04-10 13:17 ]

據(jù)報道,新加坡內(nèi)閣總理和各部長將在明年年底前大幅加薪。屆時,總理李顯龍將成為世界上收入最高的政府首腦之一,其年薪會增至310萬新加坡元(約合205萬美元),這是美國總統(tǒng)布什年薪的5倍,日本首相安倍晉三年薪的7倍。同時,新加坡部長們的年薪將在2008年年底前分兩次增加,總漲幅為60%。

Singapore's prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong, will earn five times more than US President George Bush this year after a pay rise yesterday boosted hisannual salaryto S$3.1 million ($2.1 million). 

A minister told parliament yesterday that other Singapore government ministers - who are already among the best paid in the world - will also see their salaries jump by about 60 percent to an average of S$1.9 million ($1.26 million).

"For the public service to remain an attractive employer, our terms must keep pace with theprivate sector," Defense Minister Teo Chee Hean, who is also minister in charge of the civil service, said in parliament.

The ministerial salary increase - which will take effect in two steps by the end of next year - is slightly smaller than the government had originally proposed.

Lee said last month the salaries of ministers and top civil servants might have to rise by as much as S$1 million ($660,000) to S$2.2 million ($1.45 million) because they had fallen way below benchmark top salaries in the private sector.

Lee's announcement sparked an outcry, with hundreds of Singaporeans signing anonline petitionand writing to newspapers to protest against the move.

Some Singaporeans said the ministerial salaries did not reflect the country's economy or the government's performance, adding that the government was tactless to raise ministers' salaries now given Singapore's widening income gap.

Since 1994, the salaries of Singapore ministers have been set at two thirds of the median pay of the 48 best-paid bankers, lawyers, accountants, engineers and executives in multinationals and manufacturing firms.

Under the wage revision, thebonusesthat Singapore ministers receive will depend on their performance, to be assessed by Lee, and the rate of Singapore's economic growth, Teo said.

He said ministers can get a maximum "gross domestic product bonus" of four months worth of salary if the Singapore economy grows by 8 percent or more.
