We will continue to make sure we will remain competitive both to recruit and to retain. We want to make sure we not only retain those with experience, but also provide challenging careers for those who are well-remunerated and those looking for new jobs,"
On whether ministerial salaries will also be revised accordingly with the rise in private sector salaries, Mr Teo had this to say.
"We have to look at the benchmark to see where they are to decide what kind of adjustments we need to make. The benchmarks are basically to keep up with the private sector.
I must emphasise that the civil service does not set the pace for the private sector but, really, it follows what the private sector is doing. It's a much larger employer than the civil service, so we take benchmarks from IRAS aggregated data, CPF data and other data and match what is happening in the private sector."
