I dunno civil servant can earn so much.
I suppose you are a male (with NS), that why your starting pay in 2007 with 2nd upper can be high.

I had friend working in defence ministry (DXO) 2nd upper NTU engineering getting ($3600/month (with NS) as fresh graduate.

Can i know base on your experience as civil servant, how much is the annual increment, how much in term of number? of how many percentage?

I assume that monthly basic as of 2010 is $4400 and you start your job in july/2007, as of 2010 you should have given 2 annual increment, 1 in 2008 and 1 in 2009. Note: I think there should be another annual increment for 2010 in the later part of year 2010.

So I assume your starting pay is 3600, after 2 increment , you are getting 4400. That mean each annual increment is about $400. And converted to % is = 10% annual increment. That is alot.

Info:
NTU mechanical graduate in 2007
2nd lower class
Working under local STEngg Group
Moi Annual increment in 3.2% in 2008, pay freeze in 2009.
My starting pay in 2007 is 2.9k.

That why I am asking you out of my curiously--> Can i know base on your experience as civil servant, how much is the annual increment, how much in term of number/value? or how many percentage?

Please advice thank you.
$4.4k is my gross monthly salary (doesnt include the bonuses).
Starting pay was $3.3k in 2007
Went up to $3.6k in 2008
Then to $3.8k in 2009
Then to $4.4k in 2010

By default, you get an annual increase in pay (called merit increment;dependent whether u perform well at work) and on top of that a promotional increment (if you get promoted to a higher job-grade)
