Highest paid SMRT CEO
MS SAW Phaik Hwa, 55, was paid
$1.67 million last year, including stock options, making her the highest-grossing chief executive that public transport operator SMRT Corp has ever employed.
Her deputy, Mr Yeo Meng Hin, 46, whose responsibilities include safety, emergency planning and security, took home
$970,272 - making him the second best paid executive onboard.

The remuneration details were listed in SMRT Corp's latest annual report. Compared to the year before, Ms Saw's package was 7.1 per cent higher while Mr Yeo's grew by 13.3 per cent. Their compensation includes bonuses, benefits and company shares.
Remuneration for the company's top five executives, excluding Ms Saw's, totalled $3.2 million - 17.2 per cent higher than the previous year's. SMRT's total wage bill grew by 6.3 per cent to $294.8 million over the same period.
While previous annual reports did not provide detailed breakdowns of top-level remuneration, Ms Saw's predecessors - Mr Boey Tak Hap and Mr Kwek Siew Jin - were paid around $570,000 before share options.
Before share options, Ms Saw's package last year came up to $1.43 million. This compares favourably with what her counterpart at transport giant ComfortDelGro Corp got. Its chief executive, Mr Kua Hong Pak, 66, was paid between $1.75 million and $1.99 million last year, excluding options.

More twists to the MRT tale

THE tale of the security breach at an MRT depot here took several twists yesterday: Police were told of it only two days after it occurred, and the Swiss national who left his mark on a train might not have been working alone.
In a statement last night, police said the breach took place on the night of May 16 or early the next morning.
It added that police were informed only on May 19, at 7.15pm.
The Straits Times reported yesterday that a YouTube video of the incident was posted online on May 18.
That timeline of events meant the graffiti on the train, and the breach, went unnoticed for close to 48 hours.
In its statement yesterday, police said the 33-year-old Swiss national who was arrested on May 25 will be hauled to court today to face charges of vandalism and trespass.
It did not say why there was a time lapse between the breach and the police report.
