I refer to “Ong Ye Kung to Louis Ng: Generalisations tar public service ‘with same brush’”. CNA
PAP MP Louis Ng had earlier said that there is “a general consensus that people will get into trouble if they speak up in the public service”. This is a fact which every Singaporean knows.
Even retired public servant like Ngiam Tong Dow was forced to clarify after he made these comments about PAP elites:
CNA: “Ong Ye Kung on Thursday (Mar 1) issued a sharp rebuttal to Member of Parliament Louis Ng’s comments…”
The joke is Ong’s “rebuttal” is merely a denial without any supporting evidence that the majority of civil servants do not fear speaking up.
Ong has not provided instances of public officers speaking their minds strongly without getting into trouble.
Instead, Singaporeans are expected to believe that “employee engagement surveys and systems in place which recognizes officers” have produced a culture of fearless public officers.
Continuing with his what-public-servants-should-do “rebuttal”, Ong encouraged public servants to “inform their permanent secretary or the head of civil service or even have a word with me” if their “immediate superior is not supportive”. But what will likely happen is the employee will subsequently be marked by the immediate superior and his career hentak kaki.
