Inception Point: The Use of Learning and Development to Reform the
Singapore Public Service fills a gap in current literature on
Singapore's modernisation. While the political leadership of the
late Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and his People's Action Party
(PAP) government were key to Singapore's modernisation, the role of
policy implementation was one shouldered by the Singapore Public
Service, a story thus far neglected in literature.Inception Point
argues that the Singapore Public Service used executive development
and training to introduce reforms across the bureaucracy. In so
doing, the bureaucracy constantly adjusted itself to help modernise
Singapore. In the 40 years between decolonisation in 1959 and 2001,
when the training arm of the bureaucracy became a statutory board,
training had been used firstly, to socialise the bureaucracy away
from its colonial-era organisational culture to prepare it for the
tasks of nation-building. Subsequently, civil servants were
mobilised into an 'economic general staff' through training and
development, to lead the Singapore developmental state in the 1970s
and the 1980s. The Public Service for the 21st Century (PS21)
reforms in the 1990s was the epitome in harnessing development and
training for reforms across the bureaucracy.
