Suggested change
Corrected the Employment Pass minimum salary, which had been stated as SGD 5,000 (a stale figure that was actually inverted with the correct current one); the accurate 2025 figures are SGD 5,600 general / SGD 6,200 for the financial sector. Also fixed the age-progressive salary table.
Why this is better
The Employment Pass minimum qualifying salary figures were stale and internally inverted (general sector shown as SGD 5,000 and financial services as SGD 5,600, both below the correct current 2025 figures of SGD 5,600 general / SGD 6,200 financial), corrected throughout the salary table.
