Our Core Values

• Integrity serves as the core of our beliefs and is the underlying foundation upon which the mission, goals and beliefs of the Public Service are built. Closely linked to our key public governance principle of incorruptibility, integrity enables us to carry out our mission.  The Singapore Public Service commands a high level of trust among our citizens and foreign investors because of our integrity. Therefore, it is imperative that the Public Service maintains this high standard of integrity in our conduct.
• Service defines the mission of public officers to work with the elected government in serving Singapore and Singaporeans. This citizen or customer focus is central to our common purpose and identity. "Service" does not mean acceding to all demands from all customers all the time. Public officers should always do what is right and reasonable, with empathy and respect for the people we serve, while always bearing the overall interest of our nation and people in mind.
• Excellence describes the outcomes of public service. In order to achieve our goals, public officers must manifest excellence within themselves. Staff development is an important aspect of striving towards excellence for the public service. Thus public officers must possess a mindset for excellence that strives to be the best that one can be in his role.
