Public servants need to shift from doing things ‘for’ Singaporeans to ‘with’ them: Chan Chun Sing   https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/chan-chun-sing-public-servants-maju-forest-gillman-6394421?cid=internal_sharetool_androidphone_18092026_cna   Here are the full details of Chan Chun Sing’s speech:       📢 Speech: Shift from "For" to "With" Singaporeans   Event & Speaker   - Date: 18 September 2026 - Time: Delivered ~4:48 PM - Venue: Annual Public Service Leadership Ceremony, Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre - Speaker: Chan Chun Sing — Coordinating Minister for Public Services & Minister for Defence - Audience: ~800 public service leaders - Source: CNA / Mothership        🎯 Core Message   Shift from doing things "for" Singaporeans → doing things "with" them. Engage genuinely, listen, and honestly articulate trade-offs instead of just deciding and announcing. Build shared understanding of the bigger picture.        📖 Maju Forest & Gillman Barracks — Key Example   - Earlier this year: Proposed residential development drew strong public outcry from residents & nature groups - Outcome: Government revised plans → retained more greenery, resulting in fewer homes built - Minister’s point: Everyone has preferred outcomes & convictions. But we must align on bigger picture & trade-offs — balancing housing needs, land use, energy, transport, and environmental considerations together.        🧩 Key Themes   1️⃣ New Mindset for Public Servants   - Don’t claim to have every answer — know what government does best, what others do better, and how to bring citizens, communities, businesses together  - Move beyond brokering single-issue deals → build common ground & shared understanding   2️⃣ Complex Cross-Cutting Challenges   Workforce transformation amid AI, ageing population, sustaining growth — issues span organisational boundaries.   "Every generation must earn our relevance anew."    3️⃣ International Outlook & Partnerships   - Be "entrepreneurs of governance excellence" — understand the world, forge new partnerships - Where aligned: grow cooperation - Where different: contain differences, work constructively where possible - Where frameworks fail: reimagine & build new ones (e.g. Digital Economy Partnership Agreement with Chile & NZ — world’s first) - Encourage: overseas attachments, exchanges, deeper international exposure    4️⃣ Proactive Innovation   - Build solutions others value (e.g. semiconductor ecosystem) - Continually experiment, reimagine — not just one-off successes - Governance = strategic relevance, not just good administration        📌 Key Quotes   "Bringing people together seems straightforward, but to ensure everyone walks out with the same shared understanding of the bigger picture is a different challenge."    "We do not need to possess every answer ourselves. We need to know what we must be good at… and how to bring citizens, communities, businesses and government towards a common outcome."        Source: CNA | Mothership
