An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
This article (link below) mentions "Singapore’s average monthly wage of $4,998 last year". I dunno if this figure is supposed to be the mean, median or mode, but I recall reading another article or survey (last year?) which stated the average monthly wage/salary/income for Singaporeans was approx $3k. Does anyone know what the average monthly wage / salary / income for Singaporeans is? And even more telling would be comparing the mean vs median vs mode values (if these are even available in the 1st place).

Salary.sg website uses IRAS data for the following :

According to Salary.sg, "Last year’s median income was $52,300. This year, it is $53,000" which works out to be $4.4k monthly (including year end bonuses).
Edited : Aha! This little footnote (from Salary.sg webpage above) damn important sial! Changes the picture dramatically!
"As usual, do note that residents earning $20k and below do not pay tax. Hence they are not included in the above comparison."
