Traditionally, mayors oversee a city's main departments, including the police, fire, education, housing and transportation departments. At the same time, their responsibilities vary depending on the local power structure, lets take 2 examples of global cities like New York City and London which we frequently benchmark against.
Mayor of New York: Mr Bill de Blasio (8.5 million Popuation)
Roles and Responsibilities: The mayor of New York City is head of the executive branch of New York City's government. The mayor's office administers all city services, public property, police and fire protection, most public agencies, and enforces all city and state laws within New York City of a population of approximately 8.5 million people across 5 boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island)
Mayor of London: Boris Johnson (8.6 million population)
Roles and Responsibilities: The Mayor of London's role is the executive of the strategic authority for London is to promote economic development and wealth creation, social development, and the improvement of the environment. The Mayor also has many other duties in relation to culture and tourism, including responsibility for Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square and planning and housing for its population of 8.6 million people.
Mayors of Singapore: 5.4 million population
For a population of 5.4million people, we have not 1... not 2... not 3 ... But 5 Mayors in Singapore
Central DistrictDenise Phua
North East District Teo Ser Luck
North West District Teo Ho Pin
South East District Mohamad Maliki Osman
South West District Low Yen Ling
Roles and Responsibilities: Unlike Mayors of Cities across the world which serves as local Government, the job of a Mayor in Singapore is not as a 'local government' but rather a much smaller community function to assist the needs of local residents. CDC's mission as stated on their website is to build a caring and cohesive community, where we assist the needy, bond the people and connect the community through the 5 CDC (COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL) which are under the PA (People's Association), a Government Statutory Board under Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY)
Salary of Mayors in Major Cities
Mayor of London: Boris Johnson (8.6 million population)
£143,911 = S$ 312,888 (@ S$2.17 to 1 British Pounds)
Mayor of New York: Mr Bill de Blasio (8.5 million Population)
USD225,000 = S$313,605 (@ S$1.39 to 1 USD)
Mayors of Singapore: 5.4 million population / 5 = (0.9 million Population)
Minimum Salary of Mayor S$660,000.00 + Allowance as MP S$$192,500.00 = S$852,500.00
In Addition, 3 of the mayors are concurrently holding additional positions in the ministries
Teo Ser Luck is also Minister of State under Ministry of Trade and Industry
Mohamad Maliki Osman is also a Minister of State under Ministry of National Development
Low Yen Ling is also a Parliamentary Secretary under Ministry of Social and Family Development
Which could meant that they draw an additional of $770,000 (Minister of State) to S$418,000 (Parliamentary Secretary)
Which could effectively means that Mr Teo Ser Luck earns a minimum of $1,622,500 or a monthly salary of S$135,208. 33
+ Mayor S$660,000.00
+ Allowance as MP S$192,500.00
+ Minister of State S$770,000
= $1,622,500 or a minimum monthly salary of S$135,208. 33
Mr Liew Lian Bao Jia
3 Key Questions for All of Us ?
With MPs, Town Councils, President's Challenge, Charity and many Volunteer Organizations in Singapore - Do we really need 5 Mayors since all 5 mayors are already doing similar duties as MP?
As MPs and Mayors with overlapping roles, are we paying double for the same services rendered by them?
Is there such an acute dearth of talent in our government or is Mr Teo Ser Luck a Superman that he can manage 3 portfolios as MP, Mayor and Minister of State ?
If you find this article helpful, please share this article. Thank you
With Li Lian indicating that she would reject the NCMP offer. The 3 NCMP seats will goes to Mr Dennis Tan, 45, who garnered 42.48 per cent of the votes in the single-seat ward of Fengshan and 2 candidates from the East Coast GRC Team of Mr Gerald Giam, 37, Mr Leon Perera, 44, Mr Daniel Goh, 42, and Mr Mohamed Fairoz Shariff, 36 which garnered 39.27 per cent, the 3rd best result by the opposition.
Leadership Renewal Important for WP As Well
At the party level, the election outcome was a setback in terms of possible party renewal. We'll have to think about what is the appropriate way to move forward, because we still need some renewal of the leadership ranks sooner or later. Ms Sylvia Lim, Party Chairman Will this leads to in-fighting within WP ?

He was born into a Roman Catholic family and grew up attending Catholic schools. He decided to pursue a social science degree, even though he was from the science stream and loved physics. He could not shake off questions about politics, economics and society inspired by the democratic revolutions in Asia in the late 1980s.
Daniel has been a supporter of the WP since 1988 when he attended his first political rally in Eunos. His father, a worker who rose through the ranks to become a manager, taught him the virtues of labour and the rights of the labourer. His mother, a nurse, taught him charity and kindness. He saw these ideals expressed by the WP. He started helping with WP during the 2011 General Election and had worked with MPs Chen Show Mao and Lee Li Lian.

Fairoz was introduced to politics during the 2001 General Elections when he was a resident of East Coast GRC, which was won by the incumbent through a walkover. His frustrations at not being able to exercise his right to vote turned him into a firm believer of the need for an alternative voice in Singapore.

The Rising Stars - Generation 4 Leaders
Mr Ng Chee Meng - Former Chief of Defence Future Deputy PM Candidate
Mr Ng Chee Meng served as the 8th Chief of Defence Force of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) from 2013–2015, and held the rank of Lieutenant-General. He was also the Chief of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) from 2009–2013. Mr Ng is part of a six-member PAP team that will be contesting in Pasir Ris-Punggol Group Representation Constituency in the 2015, making him the highest ranked officer ever to join politics.
Lieutenant-General Ng chaired the organising committee for the state funeral of Singapore's first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, from 23–29 March. He also led the first round of the vigil guard who stood guard during Lee's lying in state in Parliament House from 25–28 March.
Mr Ong Ye Kun - Former Principal Private Secretary to PM Lee Future PM Candidate
Ong Ye Kung (15 November 1969) is the Director of Group Strategy at Keppel Corporation in Singapore. He previous roles includes Deputy Secretary-General of NTUC and the Chief Executive Officer of WDA Singapore and Principal Private Secretary to Singapore's Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong. Ong stood as a candidate for Singapore's governing People's Action Party (PAP) at the 2011 general election in the Aljunied Group Representation Constituency, but failed to win election when the PAP's team in the constituency was defeated by the team from the opposition Workers' Party.
Despite the defeat, he said that the experience had been a privilege as he had fought alongside George Yeo, who he was honoured to learn from. While admitting that the results were a blow, he commented that politics is never about the power, but the motivation to serve the people.
Mr Chee Hong Tat - Former Principal Private Secretary to MM Lee Future Minister of Trade and Industry
Mr Chee Hong Tat studied at the University of California at Berkeley on an Overseas Merit Scholarship, and graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science (Highest Honours) in Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences and a Bachelor of Arts (Highest Honours) in Economics.
He obtained a Masters of Business Administration from Adelaide University and was awarded the Newmont Australia Prize for Most Outstanding MBA Graduate. Mr Chee joined the Administrative Service in 1998 and worked in various ministries, including Home Affairs, Finance, Transport and Education before becoming the Principal Private Secretary to Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew from 2008 to 2011. Mr Chee was appointed Chief Executive at the Energy Market Authority and 2nd Permanent Secretary at Ministry for Trade and Industry
Mr Melvin Yong - Former Assistant Commissioner of Singapore Police Force Future Minister of Home Affairs
Mr Melvin Yong is the first Senior Ranked police officer to trade his blue uniform for the party's white garb since Singapore's independence. He has held key appointments such as deputy director for Planning & Organisation as well as director for Administration & Finance. He was also concurrently deputy director for Operations between November 2013 and June last year.
Hot Potato Posting - Minister of Transport
Whilst 2nd Minister of Transport, Ms Josephine Teo is widely expected to take on the hot position of Minister of Transport, Mr Ong Ye Kun might be the dark horse for this position, by taking on this position of high public visibility, it might be the baptism of fire for Mr Ong to prove his mettle as a potential PM candidate.
