Another key driver of change that has become more pressing in recent years is that of manpower and fiscal scarcity. Against this backdrop, the Public Service has embarked on the Public Sector Transformation (PST) movement to continually transform the Public Service to better serve Singaporeans. We do this by transforming business and citizen service delivery, pushing frontiers for smart regulation, building a future workplace, and supporting transformation and innovation efforts in Ministries and Statutory Boards. The PST cluster drives the PST movement, which aims to shape our future Public Service to be ready and able to build our future Singapore.
