SINGAPORE, Nov 24 (Bernama) -- The Singapore government announced Monday that it would cut the salary of the President, Prime Minister and other senior government officials by 11 per cent to 19 per cent next year due to the country's weakened economy.

Others who would also be affected by the salary cut included ministers and members of parliament, the PSD said in a statement.
