SGPrime Minister Lawrence Wong of Singapore announced that he will donate his full salary increase to charitable causes for the next five years, aiming to demonstrate that revised political salaries serve Singapore's interests. His annual salary will rise from $2.2 million to $3.6 million, meaning he will donate $1.4 million yearly. This follows a similar move by his predecessor, Lee Hsien Loong, who donated his salary increases between 2007 and 2012 to various charities and educational funds. Wong emphasized personal responsibility for the salary changes and plans to reassess his stance after five years.
