Well, it doesn't make sense to peg civil service pay only to the lower percentile of the salary of 1 class of occupation. If PSD were to do this, civil service will be full of engineers... all others would not even think about joining CS unless they dun mind getting a pay cut to enjoy work life balance or to settle for a less stressful & stable environment... I believe this is not what PSD will like to see.
I think it will be fairer to peg the salary of CS to a basket of occupation as benchmark... which I believe it is the case now. definitely our salaries are not pegged to the top 5 occupations if not we will be having minister/AO's pay. haha...
