Chan, an ex Major-General, said 15 former high-ranking SAF officers are now holding senior leadership roles in the public service Singapore

SINGAPORE — Former Singapore Armed Force officers have “valuable experience" in working with and winning the confidence of Singaporeans from all walks of life, as well as skill sets that are generally relevant to senior management positions in the public service, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing in Parliament.

The 51-year-old, who is also Minister-in-charge of the Public Service, stressed that the civil service is guided by the principle of finding the "best available person for the job" when it comes to senior appointments, with candidates from both the wider public service and the private sector considered.

Has PSD considered requiring these officers to spend several years in understudy before taking the helm of these organisations?
