In recent weeks, top ministry officials have resigned, fuelling speculation they could be fielded as potential candidates for the ruling People's Action Party in the 2025 General Election.
The article from Channel News Asia discusses the potential for civil servants to enter politics in Singapore, particularly in light of the upcoming General Election (GE2025). It highlights the People's Action Party's (PAP) interest in recruiting capable individuals from the public service, noting that while there is no formal ban, civil servants must resign if they wish to contest in elections. The piece explores the implications of this practice, including the loss of experienced public servants, the need for political renewal, and the balance between maintaining an apolitical civil service and encouraging political participation. It also mentions the perspectives of current and former civil servants, some of whom see entering politics as a natural progression of their public service, while others express concerns about the impact on the civil service's impartiality. The article underscores the ongoing debate about how best to integrate the expertise of civil servants into the political arena without compromising the integrity of public administration.
