Not sure if can retire at 60..

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
Professionals including lawyers, accountants, doctors, engineers

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.

$350K is lower than A LOT of individual contributors like lawyers, hedge fund traders, investment bankers and even software engineers (those in Meta and Google).

There was an eye surgeon MP who said:

"If the annual salary of the Minister of Information, Communication and Arts is only $500,000, it may pose some problems when he discuss policies with media CEOs who earn millions of dollars because they need not listen to the minister's ideas and proposals. Hence, a reasonable payout will help to maintain a bit of dignity."

So the CEO you cited doesn't have much dignity.

Glad that the top 5% income earners are always in this thread giving valuable advice
