Highest Paid World Leader to Get Salary Increase of $1 Million Singapore's government has announced that Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will receive a significant pay increase, with his annual salary set to rise by over $1 million.
This move has sparked heated debate, particularly given the country's current economic woes. Critics argue that this pay hike is tone deaf and unjustified.
With a median monthly income of S$5,775, many Singaporeans earn less in a year than Wong's new annual salary alone.
