Would think the governemnt would be eager to cut costs and fire non performers. One could argue that government jobs contribute more to sg than private sector jobs in social and culture aspects and thus should be held to a higher standard.
Is it because the government does not need smart and innovate workers but instead people who are willing to do repetitive tasks due to bureaucracy?

Perm positions are very difficult to fire unless for obvious reasons like crime. For instance the superiors would be required to write reports justifying firing and it would probably need to go up to senior management level for approval. Not sure if it is due to political repercussions as civil service is associated with the ruling party.
