What is the difference between Ministries and Statutory Boards? Are statutory boards considered part of the Singapore Civil Service?

Updated by PSD 12 found this helpful
The Singapore Public Service employs about 152,000 public officers working in 16 Ministries and more than 50 Statutory Boards. Within the Public Service is the Civil Service, comprising about 86,000 officers working in the Ministries. They work in various schemes of service, including the Administrative Service, legal, education, police, civil defence and accounting schemes. Statutory boards (such as HDB, CPF Board, IRAS, etc) have their own recruitment and human resource management practices. They are legally distinct employers from the Civil Service. If you would like to find out more about the various statutory boards in Singapore, you can access their websites for details.
