SINGAPORE: The committee set up to review political salaries submitted its report to the Prime Minister on Friday afternoon.

This was confirmed by its chairman, Gerard Ee, on Friday.

The government says it is studying the report.

Channel NewsAsia understands that the report is expected to be made public in early January next year.

It also understands from several Members of Parliament that the report is expected to be debated in Parliament soon.

Next month could see two sessions of Parliament - one on January 9 as announced by the Clerk of Parliament and a second sitting on January 16.

The committee to review political salaries was set up after Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced the decision to do so in his speech at the swearing-in ceremony of the new Cabinet at the Istana on May 21 this year.

A lot of people say the salaries will be made even less transparent.

After all, why tell the public how much you earn when you know they will kpkb over it?

i dont think i will see any real downsizing of their salary

i wouldnt expect them to upsize their salary due to public angst

i am seeing a series of odd adjustments that will more or less leave the salary unchanged

The formula to calculate their salary could become very complicated with 601 variables.

WHY DOES THE GOVERNMENT NEED TO SET UP A COMMITEE TO 'REVIEW' THEIR OWN SALARIES?

WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE OF FUNDS.

JUST PEG THEIR SALARIES TO THE CURRENT CIVIL SERVICE SCHEME.

U DON'T NEED A COMMITTE!

charlize SG

So if they are not happy with recommendations, then they will just ignore it?

the Bear SG

because of the trauma caused by the review, they are giving themselves a raise

I-like-flings(m) SG

because it's the committee that recommended a salary increase lor.. not they ask for it themselves...

winsomeea SG

Just a show. Whatever it is the top priority is still money greed, money top the list. It is money these sickos greedy shits are in to "take care" of Singapore. If their salary is reduced to that of the third world govt don't think they will stay on.

hahahah harnor harnor. sure one. not surprised.

Honeybunz SG

Who knows, may reduce the monthly salary and increase the bonus lor. Or additional benefits like whole entire and extended family get free education free medical.

Or somebody will act up the negative impact or repurcussion of pay review and then gahmen will point fingers back at us saying "See? Ministers should get higher pay".. blah blah blah...

Come on la... who wants to get a pay cut? We the commoner get $50 pay cut already dai ji liao liao. You think they stupid enough to swallow this meh? Or maybe they think we are just stupid enough to believe lor.

Clivebenss SG

Finally the wayang report is out.

charlize SG

Everybody so skeptical about this exercise.

Haiz.

------ such a condescending response. You are positive about it, you encourage constant salary increase????

winsomeea SG

Isn't there any other better authority or person to submit the report to? They should be somebody in the higher authority control their salary.

It is inappropriate to submit to the damn ah dou Lee Hsien Loong.

will they need another committee to check these variables?

if so, then in order to save taxpayers money we have no choice but to let the current salary scale remain?

It's probably some complicated wage structure that requires Phd level maths knowledge.

math is not involved..

voodoo is involved.. that and suspension of belief and logic..
