Mr Ling How Doong asked the Prime Minister how many months of bonus were given to the respective Ministers.

Mr Goh Chok Tong: In 1993, the maximum number of months of performance bonus allowed for Ministers was 2 months.

The average performance bonus received by Ministers, Senior Minister of State and Ministers of State was 1.06 months.

In addition, like the civil servants, they received a one-off special bonus of one-quarter month because of the good economic performance of the country.

In 1994, the one-off special bonus received by civil servants and ministers on account of good economic growth was half month.

The 1994 Performance Bonus for office-holders has not yet been decided. As the Government announced in the January 1994 salary revision, the maximum performance bonus quantum is now 6 months.
