'Everything that needs to be looked at will be looked at,' said Brigadier-General (NS) Tan Chuan-Jin during an interview with the Straits Times.
After a watershed election that saw the People's Action Party (PAP) take 81 out of 87 seats in Parliament while losing a GRC, no stone will be left unturned in the party's bid to transform itself and the way it governs.
This includes two controversial issues: high ministerial salaries and the use of upgrading as an electoral carrot.
BG Tan, 42, widely seen as a core member of the PAP's fourth-generation leadership and is the newly appointed Minister of State for Manpower and National Development, told the paper that 'everything is on the table'.
On the two controversial issues in general, the newly-elected MP for Marine Parade GRC said that he has received feedback from Singaporeans about them.
He told the daily that while some are unconcerned about the issue, for others, 'there is that sense that this doesn't seem very fair'.
Since 2004, the Government has pegged ministerial salaries to emuneration levels for top private-sector earners. In 2009, Cabinet ministers earned between $1.57 million and $3.04 million each a year.
