SINGAPORE: According to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday( Nov. 5) the claim that Singapore’s great public service makes it unnecessary for it to have experienced or worthy officials is” ridiculous.” & nbsp,
Mr. Lee, the secretary-general of the People’s Action Party( PAP ) Awards and Convention this year, spoke about the impending leadership change. & nbsp,
Before the following general election, Mr. Lee, 71, declared he would hand over authority of his party to Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. & nbsp,
According to Mr. Lee, the PAP’s objectives are governing professionally, keeping clear, and winning elections, which may” need high-quality leadership.” & nbsp,
He continued,” The group has a strong, competent staff that is in contact with Singaporeans and has” shown what it can do.” & nbsp,
” Our public support is very good. According to Mr. Lee, there are times when people claim that Singapore’s legal servants are so excellent that we don’t have officials who are as skilled or experienced. & nbsp,
It’s a mad debate, I tell you. The legal services didn’t just appear out of nowhere.
According to Mr. Lee, Singapore has a great civil service because it had great political leadership who developed it. & nbsp,
He continued,” The civil servants are excellent, but they can only produce good results because they are led by capable ministers who comprehend the problems, make wise choices, and command their respect. & nbsp,
According to Mr. Lee, this dynamic can be compared to that of an orchestra and a conductor so that ministers is direct and support civil servants in their function and fulfill their political promises. & nbsp,
He continued,” Singapore’s ministers and companies” performed beautifully” during the COVID – 19 pandemic, as an illustration. & nbsp,
However, we couldn’t have succeeded as we did without the ministers to make the significant and difficult decisions, to assume democratic responsibility for them, and to provide national management.
According to Mr. Lee, the choices to implement the” circuit break,” close borders, pre-order vaccines, or draw on resources were all political ones. & nbsp,
” Remember, if you have regular political leaders, your public service will be regular, and this state will become very regular.”
Singapore is” sunk ,” Mr. Lee continued, if it ever loses its uniqueness and is unable to stand out from other nations. & nbsp,
Therefore,” leadership registration is a crucial operation for the group and for Singapore.” nbsp
