According to PSD, ministers salary is pegged to the top 1000 earners in the private sectors :

The top 1,000 Singapore citizen income earners would include the following:
Senior management positions including Chief Executive Officers, Chief Operating Officers, Chief Financial Officers, Chief Information Officers, Presidents, Chairmen, Directors, General Managers from a range of industries;
Representatives from the financial services including bankers, asset managers, traders, Managing Directors, Senior Vice Presidents; and

A Minister may start at the lower end of the MR4 range with a monthly salary of $46,750. This works out to an annual salary of $935,000, of which $607,750 is fixed and the rest is variable.
|
Since MR4 payscale is pegged at 60% of the top 1000 earners, that means those folks are earning about $1.5M a year.
In Civil Service, the next level below the Minister, i.e. the Perm Sec usually holds the role equivalent to a CEO of a large corporation. I know for a fact that one MMC pays their C-suite about $350K per annum.
So I guess there are either lots of C-suite or o Big Cannon Fairies around.
