Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's salary to rise to S$3.6 million

Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong is set to receive an annual salary of 3.6 million Singapore dollars, equivalent to about US $2.8 million or £2.1 million, following the latest government review of ministerial remuneration. The increase, announced by the Ministry of Finance, reflects the standard adjustment process applied to senior public officials and aligns with the compensation framework established by the Committee on Ministers’ Salaries.

The revised pay package places Wong among the highest‑earning heads of government globally, a figure that has drawn public attention as Singapore continues to balance competitive remuneration with fiscal prudence. The government maintains that the salary level is intended to attract and retain talent for the nation’s leadership, and the adjustment will take effect from the start of the next fiscal year.
