John De PayvaLee Boon Yang

Mr John De Payva asked the Minister for Labour whether he considers it opportune now to revise the salary ceiling in the Employment Act to $1,600 per month.

Dr Lee Boon Yang: Mr Speaker, Sir, the last revision of the salary ceiling in the Employment Act was in 1992. In announcing the increase in 1992, I also indicated that the salary ceiling would be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that changes are more gradual. The review is under way and the Member's suggestion will be considered.
