Andrew Chew retires as PSC chairman, replaced by Eddie Teo

Top civil servant Dr Andrew Chew Guan Khuan, 78, who has been chairman of the Public Service Commission (PSC) since 1998, will retire on Aug 1, the Prime Minister Office announced on Saturday.

He will be succeeded by Mr Eddie Teo Chan Seng, 61, currently the deputy chairman of PSC, on the same day.

Dr Chew was appointed a PSC member in 1997 and took over as chairman in August 1998.

Over the last decade, Dr Chew played a central role in bringing in top talent into the public service, and grooming and managing them.

He has also been instrumental in the selection of PSC scholars as well as the appointment and promotion of key public sector leaders over the past decade.

'Under Dr Chew's leadership, the Commission introduced many initiatives to make the public service a more attractive career for talented young Singaporeans,' said a statement from the Prime Minister's Office.

'The PSC scholarship programme, the primary means for attracting talent into the Civil Service was strengthened.'

Prior to his appointment as PSC chairman, Dr Chew served a 42-year career in the public service with great distinction in various positions, including as Head of Civil Service from 1984 to 1994.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, expressing his deep appreciation for Dr Chew's sterling service, said: 'Your contributions to Singapore have been singularly outstanding. We have a high-quality Singapore Public Service today which is admired across the world, because of the exacting standards placed on identifying, selecting and developing talent.'

'It was my privilege to work closely with you, as the Minister-in-charge of the Civil Service, both when you were Head Civil Service and subsequently as chairman PSC.'

'You exemplify the best traditions of the public service and have done Singapore proud. I wish to thank you personally for the 52 years you have tirelessly put into public service and in particular your work as chairman of the Public Service Commission over the last 10 years.'

Mr Teo was appointed a member and deputy Chairman of the PSC from March 17 this year. Before that, he was Singapore's High Commissioner in Australia from February 2006 to March 2008.

Mr Teo has had extensive experience in public administration, having held senior leadership positions in the Civil Service.

He retired from the Administrative Service in 2005 after 35 years of distinguished service in the Singapore Civil Service.
