stat boards have autonomy and can decide a lot of their own processes.
as such, they have also been known to compete among each other for talent.
the 2 main areas that have pretty good remunerations are in the areas of Education and Defence, the areas that take up a huge chunk of our national budget.
For Education,
NUS,
NTU,
SMU and the Polytechnics are stat boards under the broader
MOE unbrella, and they have been known to compete among themselves for staff. also, they need to compete with many private sector organisations like Kaplan, SIM, MDIS, PSB academy for talent so the area of salaries in that are pretty competitive as they have to fight a large brain drain.
For Defence, it is integral.
DSO and
DSTA have also been known to pay well, this is due to confidentiality and skill needed to do the task.
