seriously, my GLC, staff with same qualification as you, or even scholar may not even hit 6.5k(with 4 promotions) basic after 10 years exp.

Some more you are from a lower profile ministry (ie social)

Actually i am not sure if whether one is from a "high" profile ministry means your pay should be higher? Reason being Ministries all have MX schemes and they have to work with their own budget as allocated by MOF for bonuses, increments, promotions etc. Dont think the "high" profile ministries get more budget.

Stand corrected if there are HR/PSD experts in this forum.

erm... no reason why i would give fake figures... I think i am doing slightly above average when compared to my peers in the organisation. But not sure how that fares when compared to the overall civil service

cannot remember every year la. only remember my first starting and my current pay.


2007 - fresh grad 2upper with ns - $3280, MX13
2008 - MX 12 (promotion/confirmation)
2010 - MX 11(promotion)
2015 - MX 11a (promotion)
2017 - MX 11a

somewhere (can't recall which years) there was a review of MX schemes and there was a 5/10% increment across the board.

Fingers crossed that i will get my MX10 this 2018!

HR here. You're slightly off. The 'high profile' Ministries do get a bigger budget to work with for bonuses and so on. But, the difference is negligible unless you are AD and above.

MSF is the worst funded of the lot. A fellow HR there complains to me that they don't even get enough funding to hire permanent staff for certain roles.

MFA is the best funded. Technically they don't have as big a budget as, say, MTI, but taking into account the low number of people in comparison to their budget, they probably have the best bonuses.
