Anyone know if MP go overseas got extra allowance?
What do they do during their free time overseas? Meeting few hours then go enjoy for more than half the day.
Bloody waste of time and money. How do these trips benefit the average Singaporean?![]()
ask the same question to PAP MPs who go overseas

PAP MPs have a job to do. They are part of the government. The Opposition are just wasting taxpayer funds for their own selfish benefit.
come on sam, that's 3rd world thinking. the Opposition IS a part of the government.
That's Western liberal crap. I've never experienced anything useful coming out to the mouths of the opposition.
MPs receive a monthly allowance,a non-pensionable annual allowance (commonly known as the 13th month pay), and an annual variable component that is paid in July and December each year. The monthly allowance is 56% of the salary of an Administrative Service officer at the SR9 grade – the entry grade for Singapore's top civil servants – which is itself benchmarked at the salary of the 15th person aged 32 years from six professions: banking, law, engineering, accountancy, multinational companies and local manufacturers.
In 1995, the monthly allowance was S$8,375 ($100,500 per year).
The allowance was revised in 2000 to $11,900 ($142,800 per year).
In 2007 it was announced that civil service salaries had lagged behind those in the private sector and required revision. MPs' salaries were therefore increased in phases.
In 2007 the monthly allowance was revised to $13,200, raising the annual sum to $158,400. A gross domestic product (GDP) bonus payable to civil servants was also extended to MPs to link their annual remuneration to the state of the economy. They would receive no bonus if GDP growth was 2% or less, one month's bonus if the GDP grew at 5%, and up to two months' bonus if the GDP growth reached or exceeded 8%. MPs' allowances to engage legislative and secretarial assistants were also increased from $1,000 to $1,300 and from $350 to $500 respectively.
With effect from January 2008, each MP received another increase of his or her allowance package to $13,710 a month, bringing it to $225,000 per year.
Persons who have reached the age of 50 years and retired as MPs and who have served in this capacity for not less than nine years may be granted a pension for the rest of their lives. The annual amount payable is 1⁄30 of the person's highest annual salary for every completed year of service and 1⁄360 for every uncompleted year, up to a ceiling of two-thirds of the Member's annual salary. No person has an absolute right to compensation for past services or to any pension or gratuity, and the President may reduce or withhold pensions and gratuities upon an MP's conviction for corruption.
No talk about overseas allowance but heard rumours that MPs got special rebate for buying cars.
