What changed
This Order amends the First Schedule of the Public Service (Special and Senior Personnel Boards) Order 2010 (G.N. No. S 824/2010) with personnel changes. Under item 1, Mr. Chan Heng Kee replaces Mr. Leo Yip as Chairman, and Mr. Chan Heng Kee is removed from the Members section while Ms Foo Chi Hsia is added. Under item 2, Mr. Leo Yip and Mr. Joseph Leong Weng Keong are deleted, and Ms Foo Chi Hsia is added alongside Mr. Tan Chye Hee.
