Singapore Defers Considering Political Pay Review on Iran War

Singapore will postpone considering an independent panel’s recommendations on the salaries of political office holders until the economic impact of the Iran war becomes clearer, a government minister said.

“The government recognizes that the Middle East conflict is still ongoing, causing major economic uncertainties and clouding the outlook for Singapore,” Chan Chun Sing, coordinating minister for public services and minister-in-charge of the public service wrote in a parliamentary reply on Wednesday.
