That is a worrying trend our govt are facing.
Not getting a true picture of what actually happen on the
ground.
And rely on those scholars who, as you said, filtered out the
difficult one and take the easy questions.
In that case, govt will in no time, collapsed.
Yes, because they have to answer their Perm Secs, or Ministers,
if they can't answer them easily, their livelihood will be at
stake.
There are some really nice scholars who are like you and me,
with dreams of working and bringing a better life for Singaporeans,
but once they step into the civil circle, they are entwined in a
vicious cycle that they may not quite get out.
They HAVE TO perform! Same with their subordinates who HAVE to
perform!
So that's Singapore civil service for you.
So that is why it is SO SO important for our talented grads to
participate outside the civil service arena, rather then get sucked
into the vicious, slowly losing reality of the ground.
