Singtel Group Chief Executive Officer Yuen Kuan Moon received S$8.2 million in total remuneration for the financial year 2025, marking a 16.8% increase from the previous year’s S$7.02 million.
The telecommunications giant revealed these figures in its annual report released on Monday (30 Jun 2025).
Singtel CEO Compensation Breakdown Reveals Performance-Based Structure
Mr Yuen’s total remuneration of S$8,206,290 for FY2025, which ended on 31 Mar 2025, comprised several components beyond his base salary.
His base salary stood at S$1,335,682, representing just 16% of his total compensation package.
The largest portion came from performance-based payments. Mr Yuen received a cash bonus of S$2,217,600, accounting for 27% of his total remuneration.
He also earned an identical amount of S$2,217,600 through a restricted share award.
A performance share award contributed S$2,357,600 to his package, making up 29% of the total sum.
The remaining S$77,808 came from benefits.
Strong Financial Performance Drives CEO Pay Increase
Singtel’s board approved Mr Yuen’s increased compensation based on his performance during FY2025. The company stated his remuneration aligns with Singtel’s “strong performance and long-term value creation objectives”.
The telco delivered impressive financial results under Mr Yuen’s leadership. Underlying net profit, which excludes exceptional and non-recurring items, rose 9% to S$2.47 billion.
Net profit surged more than 400% to S$4.02 billion, compared to FY2024’s S$795 million.
This dramatic increase stemmed largely from a one-time exceptional gain of S$1.3 billion from the partial divestment of Singtel’s Comcentre headquarters in Somerset.
The building has been demolished and will be replaced by a new development through a joint venture between Singtel and Lendlease, valued at S$3 billion for the sustainable workplace project.
As a result of the strong performance, Singtel will pay shareholders a total ordinary dividend of 17 cents for FY2025.
Mr Yuen, 58, was appointed group CEO in Jan 2021. Since his appointment, he has led what Singtel describes as “one of Singtel’s most ambitious transformations”.
The strategic reset he introduced repositioned the company for growth amid accelerated digitalisation and industry disruption. This transformation redefined Singtel along three core areas: connectivity, digital services, and digital infrastructure.
Following the successful completion of the three-year strategic reset, Singtel launched Singtel28 in FY2025. This multi-year growth plan focuses on enhancing customer experience, scaling digital business, and delivering sustained shareholder value.
FY2025 marked the first year of execution under Singtel28, with the company reporting strong financial results across multiple metrics.
