Public Sector (Governance) Act 2018 s 11

s 11 Limit to effect of directions

11.—(1) A direction under section 4 or 5 must not be inconsistent with this Act or any other written law. (2) A direction under section 4 or 5 is not binding on a Singapore public sector agency to the extent (if any) to which it would impede or affect the performance of —(a) a statutorily independent function of the Singapore public sector agency; or (b) a quasi-judicial function of the Singapore public sector agency or any of its officers in relation to a particular matter. (3) This Part does not authorise any Minister to direct a Singapore public sector agency, or any member or officer of a public body, or any public officer, requiring —(a) the performance or non‑performance of a particular act or the bringing about of a particular result, in respect of a particular person or persons; or (b) the making of an employment decision relating to a particular individual. (4) However, subsection (3) does not prevent a Minister from giving a direction under the Government Procurement Act 1997. (5) In this section, “employment decision” means an administrative decision relating to the employment of an individual, including —(a) the appointment, promotion, transfer, remuneration or benefits of employment; (b) the termination of an individual’s employment; and (c) the taking of disciplinary action against an employee.
