SINGAPORE: The Manpower Ministry has reviewed various salary benchmarks in the work pass framework.

Ministerfor Manpower Gan Kim Yong told Parliament that this is necessary giventhat local salaries have increased over the years.

From Jul 1, 2011, to qualify for S Pass, applicants' monthly salaries will have to be S$2,000 or more, up from S$1,800 today.

Similarly,the qualifying salary thresholds for Q1, P2, and P1 Passes will beraised to S$2,800, S$4,000, and S$8,000 respectively.

Employers of existing EP and S Pass holders will be given a one-time renewal of up to two years to meet the salary thresholds.

Mr Gan said further renewals thereafter will be subjected to the new salary criteria.

"Giventhe tight labour market for PMETs, it is not surprising that salariesof local PMETs have moved up in recent years," Mr Gan said.

Mr Gan emphasised Singaporecannot close its doors to foreign talent as they continue to becritical for the economy's growth and help to grow the economic pie, sothat everyone will have a bigger share.

He said otherwise,Singapore would lose its attractiveness as an investment destinationand it will not be able to create good jobs for locals.
