True. I think they much rather hire someone who fits the mould for civil service, rather than some private sector rockstar who isn't a good cultural fit. Esp for GovTech/IMDA, you'll notice that some of those private sector hires who come in as director and asst chief exec level usually leave after 2 to 3 years due to poor fit.
