SINGAPORE: Ho Ching, who is married to Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, took to Facebook to defend her husband’s pay, which looks higher than those of many government leaders.
Singapore’s wage system stands out as it doesn’t have any other perks in kind during office, and no pensions or other benefits after the term ends, Ho said in a post published yesterday. She was responding to an article by local blog site Seedly that compared Lee’s pay to that of US President Donald Trump, Hong Kong chief executive Carrie Lam and others.
