Senior doctors, dentists in public sector to pocket 9% pay hike
That's effective starting next month.
According to a speech by Senior Minister of State for Health Dr Amy Khor, to keep pace with the market and to pay doctors fairly, the base salary of senior public sector doctors will be adjusted upwards by 9% from April this year.
This increase will be over and above the pay increment given in April 2012. Senior public sector dentists will also be covered under the new remuneration framework and receive the same pay adjustments as doctors.
