According to Instagram @undercover.id, Singapore will increase the minimum wage for foreign workers to around Rp65 million per month. This policy will be effective from January 1, 2025, replacing the previous minimum wage of around Rp58 million per month.

Salary increases are only given to foreign workers who meet the requirements for a work permit, known as Employment Pass (EP). Another requirement is that this salary increase will apply to new job applicants starting from 2025. Additionally, this salary increase will be given to those who renew their contracts starting from 2026.

With the EP, foreign professionals, managers, and executives will have the opportunity to work in Singapore. According to Singapore's Minister of Manpower, Tan See-leng, the eligible EP salary will also increase with age.

For workers in the financial services sector in Singapore, they will receive a salary of around 6,200 Singapore dollars per month next year. This amount has increased from the salary of 5,500 Singapore dollars per month received by foreign workers this year.

If converted into Rupiah currency, the salary of foreign workers in the financial field will increase to Rp72 million per month, from Rp64 million per month this year.

"While foreign workers in their mid-40s will receive a salary of around 10,700 Singapore dollars, equivalent to approximately 125 million Indonesian Rupiah per month. Within the same age range, foreign workers in the financial services sector will receive an income of around 11,800 Singapore dollars or approximately 137 million Indonesian Rupiah per month."
