SINGAPORE: The Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech) must continually renew its capabilities while remaining a place where people can do work that matters, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Thursday (Nov 5). Speaking at GovTech's 10th anniversary dinner at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Mr Wong also addressed the agency’s recent restructuring exercise that will let go of about 300 workers over two years. “GovTech has recently gone through a restructuring exercise. I know it has been a difficult period for some officers, and we will continue to support the affected officers as they acquire new skills and prepare for new opportunities, whether within GovTech or outside,” said Mr Wong, who is also finance minister. In his speech, Mr Wong said that GovTech’s work of bringing policy and technology together, changing how Singapore builds, modernising systems and strengthening cybersecurity, ultimately depends on people.   https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/govtech-renew-capabilities-support-retrenched-workers-pm-wong-6526726 (ICE SINGAPORE)
