But in Singapore's case, you are right that Statutory Boards are part of the "Public" Service AND NOT part of the "Civil" Service (which also includes the elite "Administrative" Service, among other "services"), although the "Civil" Service is still part of the "Public" Service! haha

"4. What is the difference between Ministries and Statutory Boards? Are statutory boards considered part of the Singapore Civil Service?
The Singapore Public Service employs some 127,000 public officers working in 15 Ministries, more than 50 Statutory Boards and 9 Organs of State. Within the Public Service is the Civil Service, comprising more than 76,000 officers working in the Ministries and Organs of state. They work in various schemes of service, including the Administrative Service, legal, education, police, civil defence as well as other generic schemes. Statutory boards (such as HDB, CPF Board, IRAS, etc) have their own recruitment and human resource management policies. They are legally distinct and independent employers from the Civil Service."
Singapore has such a wonderful Public/Civil/Administrative "Service", doesn't it? haha

?
admin service is a scheme of service for goodness sake. it is not the same kind of classification as per public/civil service.
the different schemes of service include foreign, management executive, intel, uniformed, information, legal, economic, admin amongst others.
thanks also for citing wikipedia, it is indeed very 'authoritative'.
