In case you are wondering, even when my other colleagues and I are wearing multiple hats as political office holders, we each draw one single salary.
Baey Yam Keng has learnt that he will receive a single salary
In an interview on Thursday, Mr Baey told Shin Min Daily News that while he had not received his appointment letter yet, he had learnt that he would receive a single salary.
In any case, his starting point is to serve voters and citizens, he said.
Former MP Charles Chong cited the example of Dr Ow Chin Hock, who was Minister of State for Foreign Affairs from 1997 to 2001. He received only one salary despite also being Mayor of Tanjong Pagar Community Development Council at the same time.
Another former MP Inderjit Singh said as a backbencher, he had joined many Government Parliamentary Committees, Select Committees and committees of various government-related organisations and institutions, but only received an MP allowance.
According to the Public Service Division, political appointment holders receive only one pay even if they hold more than one portfolio. They separately receive an allowance for the time and expenses incurred in serving as MPs.
New Cabinet sworn in on 23 May
On Friday (23 May), Mr Baey was sworn in at the Istana together with other members of the new Cabinet.
