Minister-in-charge of the Public Service, Mr Chan Chun Sing, spoke about the new challenges we face, and how the Public Service need to evolve fast to seize new opportunities as we rebuild our economy, society and people in the post-COVID-19 world.

The PST Awards Ceremony is a Whole-of-Government pinnacle platform to recognise public agencies and officers for excellence in their work and organisational practices. This year, there are 84 PST awards winners across 11 categories. 

At the Awards Ceremony, Minister-in-charge of the Public Service, Mr Chan Chun Sing, shared the importance of PST and conveyed his appreciation to all public officers who have been working tirelessly to serve Singapore.
