Well the civil service, the top ranks that is, pay rather well vis a vis the other civil services around the world and there is relative security if one is at the right level. That has to count for something.

I’m afraid that people are not going to be that easily co-opted, after all, what that “neutralisation” depended on, were basically the lure of a cushy diplomatic post, for the academic elites.

That said, I feel that the civil service is not something that is viewed in the same light anymore. I would not be surprised if people show scant interest in it.

Singapore is like an upside down pyramid, with extention at the edges to form another pyramid.
The top extension is for foreign talent. The base extention is for foreign workers.
This is artificial dynamism.

How many of you Singaporeans can see this picture?

The elites in place will do everything they can to prevent another alternative elite from forming. Throughout the years, those who may have different views, but who aren’t in the same ‘mould’ as CSJ or JBJ, people like Simon Tay, Walter Woon, have been inducted and given cushy well-paying jobs in govt depts. In a word, neutralised.

An alternative elite will only emerge if singaporeans feel, in their hearts and souls, that they have to do something. If the govt carries on the way it has been doing, this may just happen.
