For University lecturers, starting should be about 7 - 8k if you're lucky. If you get tenure, then its a different story. Long story short, highly competitive to be a university lecturer if you have no relevant industry experience or good post-doc stint with good publications to boot.
I know from my ex-colleague that NUS (and most likely other local public Univ) now has separate teaching track and tenure (traditional) track for their academic staffs. Teaching track will start from lecturer and eventually be teaching professor. Not sure if it is tenured or always based on renewable contract. Tenure track is the traditional track that one start from assistant professor and after about 5 years if got tenure then be promoted to associate professor and got his/her iron rice bowl. many associate prof. become stagnant till retirement
