This is what is happening on the ground. Even scholars who are not given due recognition (in terms of career progression) are going to the private sector. But then again, their perception of career advancement will be different from normal people, in that they expect reaching senior position within 10 years of service (around there).
In the end, people forget why they join the civil service in the first place - to make Singapore a better place for her residents.

As a farmer, all you will ever achieve in public sector is either an assistant manager / junior managerial level executing top directions no matter how good you are. They only give fake inflated titles that sound big, you will never reach the senior decision policy making level, these are all taken up by the scholars.

Though in broad essence I agree with you, but things are changing and the way things work in the public sector have also evolved to meet the changes in external environment. At the end of the day, if you're good, you're good still holds. Though I don't deny that one have to fight much harder for opportunities and leaving good impressions as compared to a scholar.
