“Don’t call me a civil servant. I consider that an insult.” – Philip Yeo
Philip Yeo is unlike any civil servant. He prefers action over talk, cartoons over words and speed over due process. The maverick was blunt, direct and not afraid to challenge the status quo, earning him a reputation not only as one of Singapore’s most accomplished government officials, but also among its most colourful bureaucrats.
Neither Civil Nor Servant captures the half a century career of the former Economic Development Board chairman, telling the stories of brilliant achievements almost unparalleled in the history of the Singapore civil service. Yeo was the man who turned Batam into a household name in Singapore, created Jurong Island from seawater and put the country on the biomedical map globally with its iconic Biopolis. The famous rule breaker bulldozed his way through the bureaucracy he was a part of, blazing new paths in a manner more akin to an entrepreneur than a civil servant. In the process, he offended more than a few and was never afraid to challenge naysayers publicly, regardless of status and background.
In the hands of acclaimed journalist and author Peh Shing Huei, this authorised biography brings out Philip Yeo the private man behind the public figure and uncovers the behind-the-scene stories of some of Singapore’s biggest post-independence military, economic and political adventures. Neither Civil Nor Servant is an engaging and enthralling book, offering fascinating insights into one of Singapore’s most unconventional pioneer civil servants.
PEH Shing Huei is a Singapore Literature Prize-winning author of When the Party Ends. He is a founding partner of The Nutgraf, a writing and consulting agency, and former news editor and China bureau chief at The Straits Times. The graduate of the National University of Singapore and Columbia University lives in Singapore.
For such a man as Philip Yeo, you can like him or hate him, but not ignore him.

评分Philip Yeo是与西方世界风格截然不同的公务员,从某种程度上类似于具有武将属性的文官,在半和平年代不断为了国家的强大“开疆拓土”,制定产业发展政策,并且通过各种MNC来落地和贯彻执行。但他又是一个倔强的人,不肯学普通话,不愿意讲述中新苏州工业园区的那段历史。这些特质都让他本人显得格外特别。
