Covid-19: President, ministers and other political office holders to take one-month pay cut; MPs’ allowance to follow suit


SINGAPORE — All ministers and other political office holders will take a one-month pay cut to show solidarity with Singaporeans amid the Covid-19 crisis, said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on Friday (Feb 28).

Speaking during his wrap-up of the Budget debate, he added that President Halimah Yacob will also take a one-month pay cut and all Members of Parliament (MP) will have their allowance cut by one month as well.

Some senior public service officers will take a half-month pay cut.

Mr Heng, who is also Finance Minister, said that Singapore will win the war over the virus as one united people.

“Our citizens and institutions all play a part: Enterprises and senior managements standing with unions and our workers, landlords supporting tenants, neighbours looking out for one another, political leaders working hand in hand with the public service and the people, to do everything that will help us see this problem through together,” he said.

“Singapore has been able to respond strongly and effectively to COVID-19 because there is strong trust between the people and the Government, and the sense that we are all in this together.”

[Confuseous]

Don't be conned lah.
This can easily be made up with the bonus next year - these bonuses are state secrets.
You know, I know, okay?

It is a simple case of sacrificing the chicken wing, to get back two whole chickens later.

 

[Leepotism]

They mean no pay for one month?

 

[CPTMiller]

They mean no pay for one month?

We do not know they remuneration package per month. So pay cut one month is very grey area. Unless proper number is given

 

[mojito]

Big deal! 1 divide by 12. That is not even 10%! IRAS take more than that already.

 

[JohnTan]

PAP leads by example, unlike oppies who only know how to talk but have no track record of doing anything for the people.

 

[Leongsam]

Wayang.

 

[Chase]

retrench the president.

PAP hv been very patient for oppo to bang and upturn the tables at this opportunity; and this showed how useless
they (latter) are given that I'm only a PSLE graduate.

 

[PretenderSam]

They mean no pay for one month?

Talk Cock sing song

GE is coming. The Wayang has started.

Dictators standard practices. Giving you a penny to gain your votes. You pay back a pound after giving them your votes.

Remember they took a 32% pay cut sometime ago n was justly rewarded with a windfall of bonuses n perks thereafter same pattern diff day ?

Wah, you know them so well

Shylock’s pattern out now

What percentage of salary being cut? Secretive? One percent also considered pay cut- stop bullshiting citizens. Also one month only?

Abstain from Meat one day before a Banquet?

Now wayang, if they win the next GE they will cut a pound of flesh from each and every one of us including those who voted them in again.

Already collected 7 months bonus for 2019...now give back only 1 month... strongly believe will be refunded to them with extras come Dec...

Actually what is the benefit of doing this? Still getting 11 months of an obscenely hugh annual salary.

Sama Sama Itu GE!
Sucking us dry and getting themselves more bonuses.

This says, they are paid more than what they shld be getting, you try a pay cut on majority Sinkies and they will walk off the job immediately, without giving notice.

 

[bobby]

Tiagong the ministers are paid bi-monthly....so they cutting the month's salary on the month that they are not getting paid.

 

[songsongjurong]

 

[KuanTi01]

It's just tokenism to pave the way for a PAP election victory. You can be sure they will restore and pay back in cash and kind with hefty bonuses for their great "sacrifices" once Covid -19 is over.

 

[red amoeba]

Tell me about it when they volunteer only to take one month’s pay.

 

[mojito]

Must be wuflu retrenchments becoming noticeable. Showing solidarity with the fallen etc and all that.

 

[laksaboy]

Remind me again when they're all unemployed and their jobs replaced by competent people who work for a fraction of what they used to get.
