THE PSC’S ROLE

The Public Service Commission (PSC) is constituted under Part IX of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore.

Under the Public Sector (Governance) Act 2018 which came into effect on 1 April 2018, the PSC’s concurrence is required for the appointment, promotion and discipline of Chief Executive Officers of Statutory Boards.

The PSC is the final appellate body to consider appeals against decisions of the Special Personnel Board.

The PSC performs a non-constitutional role of recruiting and developing talent for the Singapore Public Service through the PSC Scholarships, as well as coordinating the efforts of scholarship-awarding agencies.
