Singapore – A young and small island nation with no natural resources. Yet its name is recognised internationally for its achievements in many areas. One of the factors often accredited for Singapore’s success can be summarised in the words of Mr Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister of Singapore.

“That (Singapore’s Public Service) is our most sustainable competitive advantage. The investments in Singapore’s future are only realisable with a first-class public service.”

Mr Lee Hsien Loong,
Prime Minister, Singapore
