I’ve worked on a Singapore website sponsored by the major University and a Govt. office and frankly speaking, it’s a poorly managed process dominated by IT protocol more than business/client goals. The admin responsible for running the site was inept and his colleagues were worse. The person who inherited managing the complex web stack was a secretary with no dev skills. I hope it works out for them, but I’m not optimistic.
There's several different government bodies working on tech in Singapore. GovTech is the more 'elite' group that pays better and generally rolls out decent products.
On the one hand you said it's dominated by IT people with no business goals but then complain the manager is a secretary with no dev skills...which is it?
