A random question - does a minister with 2 portfolios get paid twice as much more than a minister with 1? Means Shanmuggam must be super highy paid ah compared to the other full minister with 1 portfolio?
I suspect bonus isn't the same. he'll get all the bonuses of the ministries.Nope they get paid the same, the law minister mentioned this before. He is able to hold two portfolios also partially because the law portfolio is pretty lax in comparison

Compare against elected PAP CEC, their highest policy making body.
1. Secretary-General Lee Hsien Loong
2. Chairman Khaw Boon Wan
3. Vice Chairman Yaacob Ibrahim
4. First Assistant Secretary-General Teo Chee Hean
5. Second Assistant Secretary-General Tharman Shanmugaratnam
6. Treasurer Lim Swee Say
7. Assistant treasurer K Shanmugam
8-12. Members Chan Chun Sing, Grace Fu, Gan Kim Yong, Heng Swee Keat and Tan Chuan-Jin
Ng dropped to #13 and later co-opted in. Vivian and Lawrence Wong were not insight, meaning PAP cadre does not believe in their competencies.
How these three are still in cabinet when their own cadre already said no, you can derive your own conclusions....![]()

Looking forward to $8 COE leh.
Shanmugam gets paid more than now when he was a top lawyer in private practice. Same as hen who was cancer surgeon at gleneages treating indo patients, pulling in a few hundred k per month.
Sent from gagt using GAGT
After Tharman orders Temasek and GIC to contribute more for govt to spend on SG, he got removed from Ministry of Finance?
It seems like Heng Swee Heat is now Tharman's boss...

Probably still Halimah. She did a decent job.
