“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.
Philip Yeo是與西方世界風格截然不同的公務員,從某種程度上類似於具有武將屬性的文官,在半和平年代不斷為瞭國傢的強大“開疆拓土”,製定産業發展政策,並且通過各種MNC來落地和貫徹執行。但他又是一個倔強的人,不肯學普通話,不願意講述中新蘇州工業園區的那段曆史。這些特質都讓他本人顯得格外特彆。
