A significant shift in Singapore's civil service occurs as Goh Hanyan, the director overseeing Smart Nation and AI policies, resigns to enter the political arena. Her departure marks the third high-profile resignation ahead of the upcoming General Election 2025, following other notable exits from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Transport. Goh's role included shaping the Smart Nation 2.0 initiative and the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy.
The timing of Goh's resignation aligns with the People's Action Party's (PAP) tradition of selecting public service leaders as candidates, necessitating their exit from civil service roles to engage in political activities. This trend has been observed in previous elections, where public servants have stepped down shortly before polling. The upcoming election is expected to see a significant number of candidates emerging from the public sector.
