Singapore — Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh asked the wrong question about mayors in Singapore, said Lim Team of People's Voice in a Facebook post on Thursday (Feb 25).

The Workers’ Party secretary-general said in Parliament on Wednesday that many Singaporeans feel the salaries of the Community Development Council mayors are “outrageous”.

The Aljunied MP questioned if there was a need for full-time mayors when other committees such as the Citizens Consultative Committees are more connected to residents.But Lim Tean argued: “The question of whether Singapore needs mayors is not the right question. It is an invitation for the PAP to defend the S$660k per year roles ”

He added: “If the PAP are defending the enormous salary of $660k per year for a mayor because the job is large in scope, then how can this job be done on less than a part-time basis?”
