Highest paid world leader to get salary increase of $1 million
Singapore's prime minister Lawrence Wong will see his annual pay rise to 3.6 million Singapore dollars ($2.8m; £2.1m).
Singapore's government says it will raise the annual salaries of its ministers and other office holders, including its prime minister who is the highest paid political leader in the world.
Lawrence Wong will see an increase of 1.4 million Singapore dollars ($1.1m; £818,000) in his annual pay package. He has said he will donate this pay increase to charity over the next five years.
Wong said that raising the pay of ministers was necessary to attract better talent. The government has previously argued that paying ministers high salaries deters corruption.
Currently, the base pay package of ministers is about S$1.1m. With the new pay scheme, that will increase to around S$1.2m.
