[Below is an extract from a speech by DPM Teo.

"Only 1.2 per cent of the 76,000 civil servants across all services are of the MX9 (Superscale) grade or higher, revealed DPM Teo yesterday.

This works out to fewer than 1,000 people, or one out of 83 civil servants."

Statistically that is correct. But a more relevant statistic would be the proportion of MX scheme officers in superscale.
