Serious CCS confirms poor planning/foresight by public service

[Confuseous]

Due to these forces, the public service has to shore up resilience by staying agile, anticipate opportunities to keep ahead of the competition, and mobilise diversity when developing solutions, said Mr Chan.

He cited how government agencies had to adapt to changing circumstances amid the tightened distancing measures in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Manpower Ministry and Enterprise Singapore, for example, had to reorganise themselves to answer thousands of phone calls from businesses who had questions on what they could and could not do under the new rules, Mr Chan added.

“You never know what the next crisis might be, but this agility to reconfigure for resilience of the system is critical,” he noted.

There were thousands of phone calls from businesses - in his own words - because there was lack of clarity in the govt's communications and
the roti-prata manner of the announcements. People are paid millions to to ANTICIPATE problems, not the agility to reconfigure for resilience of the system

Interesting points.

MOM and ES, flipping roti-prata mentioned. I heard, MOM and ES held back on a lot of grant monies. Therefore, likely the problem lies in the grant scandals in MOM and ES.

Next, MOM is mentioned as a ministry. If you google online, you can find countless photos of them appearing together. Mentioning MOM buay gan is rather don't give face to Josephine.

If you want all that (i.e. being efficient), trim the public sector by 50% to 80%. Anything else is highfalutin hot air talk, which Chan has a penchant for doing.

Small, limited govt = efficiency, prosperity, liberty and security. A bloated govt goes against that.

We need to keep count of the number of years before these clowns say something that is worthy of reflection and follow-up.
Methinks this guy has a data base of sentences and ideas which he clicks on whenever he needs to say something in public -
and his comments always end up pubic.

Your post is pretty useless without the original article (ST).

You also failed to distinguish between what CCS said and you own commentary on what he said.

The roti prata thing was not said by him. You only made it appear like it was.

Your standard of writing is even worse than brothel braddell

Without the PAP leadership, no body know what to do! We ought to be grateful to have world class leaders setting the pace for all to follow.

So our public service is profit or surplus oriented? Or else why the hoo has about?

So does CCS want to redevelop or redefine the natural of civil or public service?

I heard in the past 2 years, MTI's service standards have sank, second last at the bottom, after MOM. Mr Chan is right to highlight ES because ES dragging MTI down in the past two years. The merger of PSB and IE Singapore into ES lost many good people, and increases cocked-ups. If you are a small company trying to venue overseas, try contacting one of ES's officers, you will be told that you are too small. Servicing four $5m-revenue companies gives a small KPI for an ES's officer serving a single $25m-revenue company. Within MTI, JTC had been the less-glamorous child of MTI who won praises from big and small local and foreign companies well, and even won praises from MAS.

MOM has long been reputed to the gov agency with the most oversights:

• Poor customer service and hiring of ex-SAF regulars who can't perform.
• Even poor JT's PAs are not helpful and don't complete/follow-up tasks for her.
• Toxic corporate culture: mass resignation and non-contract renewals of young management trainees because old birds ganged up to screw them
• SME complaints about non-disbursement of government grants.
• Dorm issues, eg, not wearing of masks, hygiene, living condition and overcrowding are still persisting.
• Refusal to clamp down on maid-agencies that poaches maid from existing employers
• Raids on law-abidding SMEs and even offices of MNCs while closing an eye on construction and shipyard sites.
