Inception Point: The Use of Learning and Development to Reform the Singapore Public Service fills a gap in current literature on Singapore's modernisation. While the political leadership of the late Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and his People's Action Party (PAP) government were key to Singapore's modernisation, the role of policy implementation was one shouldered by the Singapore Public Service, a story thus far neglected in literature. Inception Point argues that the Singapore Public Service used executive development and training to introduce reforms across the bureaucracy. In so doing, the bureaucracy constantly adjusted itself to help modernise Singapore. In the 40 years between decolonisation in 1959 and 2001, when the training arm of the bureaucracy became a statutory board, training had been used firstly, to socialise the bureaucracy away from its colonial-era organisational culture to prepare it for the tasks of nation-building. Subsequently, civil servants were mobilised into an 'economic general staff' through training and development, to lead the Singapore developmental state in the 1970s and the 1980s. The Public Service for the 21st Century (PS21) reforms in the 1990s was the epitome in harnessing development and training for reforms across the bureaucracy.

It is said that the duty of public servants is to 'speak truth to power' — to give honest, sound and sometimes unpopular advice to political leaders. Underneath the narrative of the Singapore story, as personified by Lee Kuan Yew and the first-generation leaders, lie the lesser-known tales of dedicated public servants in the nation-building process. Singapore's development cannot be fully understood without considering the role of those in public service during the transition to independence from the 1950s to 60s.Featuring oral history interviews from the National Archives of Singapore with 11 pioneer public servants, Speaking Truth to Power: Singapore's Pioneer Public Servants reveals first-hand, personal accounts of the civil service's transition from the colonial era, their relationship with the political leaders, and how Singapore's economic development was driven by sound public administration in those critical years. The annotated interviews make for an easily readable format for researchers and general audiences alike.Some of Singapore's pioneer public servants featured in the book include:Wee Chong Jin, The First Local Chief JusticeGoh Koh Pui, Chairman of the PSAAbdul Wahab Ghows, Solicitor-General and High Court JudgeHedwig Anuar, Director of the National LibraryKwa Soon Bee, Pioneer of Singapore's Healthcare SystemAlan Choe, HDB's First Architect-Planner, and Founder of the URAChan Chin Bock, Chairman of the EDBJ.

This book by a pioneer generation civil servant is a fascinating and an engaging account of Singapore's spectacular development from a sleepy backwater village to a first world State within a single generation and defying, in the process, all odds against its survival. This story is unique in many ways and starts right at the beginning when Singapore became a self-governing State in 1959, the same year the author entered the civil service. The author's involvement and participation in the detailed planning of pioneering policies, the strategies adopted and their implementation at the ground level by many front line ministries and institutions, in which he has served for more than four decades, have given him a unique hands-on experience and observations derived in working from the inside — in areas ranging from slum clearance to representing the State overseas. The story also details how the cooperation between an honest and visionary leadership and the citizenry created an effective professional, proactive and productive public administration, which excelled in service delivery at home, and enabled the State to punch above its weight globally, overcoming at the same time many political, economic and security challenges, amongst others, and always ever mindful that nothing in the scheme of things can be taken for granted. The success achieved and the many lessons learnt therefrom have universal application and had attracted global interest.The story is very well illustrated with compelling and illuminating insights and richly complemented by the author's anecdotal observations throughout.

Abstract: Abstract The civil service system, being an important agency for carrying out the policies and measures of a government, is receiving more and more attention in recent years. Significant developments and modernization programs to improve the efficiency of the bureaucracy have been carried out in many countries. In this paper, we work to examine and study the civil service of two small but efficient economic entities in Asia - Hong Kong and Singapore. By smoothly and honestly implementing the government policies, the civil services in these two cities have indeed contributed to the remarkable societal and economic developments in the 1980s and 1990s. By comparing the two civil service systems, we can identify a number of features that they have in common, including the administration by generalists, the efforts for localization and the determination to combat corruption within the civil service systems. With increasing demands and expectations of the government service, both Singapore and Hong Kong have designed and carried out different kinds of civil service reforms to cope with the new environment. Their reform measures include various types of changes, such as adjusting the conditions of service, 3remuneration of the civil servants and introducing new kinds of training and development programs. These measures aim at increasing the efficiency of the system, cultivating a service culture into the minds of the civil servants, as well as solving immediate problems and challenges facing the governments such as reducing governmental financial burden by adjusting the scale for salary payment of the civil servants. Finally, after briefly evaluating these reforms, a number of pitfalls and successful examples are illustrated. It is hoped that by examining these lessons learnt, adequate directions for future civil service management could be more easily identified. It is also the purpose of this paper to bring more insights in improving the civil service efficiency for other governments in Asia by taking the experiences of Hong Kong and Singapore as a reference. 4 DOI: 10.5353/th_b2951877 Subjects: Civil service - China - Hong Kong Civil service - Singapore
