@straitstimes: Of the 93 GovTech officers leaving the agency, 42% are aged 40 to 49, making up the largest age group, said Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information Jasmin Lau. This age group also accounted for 42% of the 305 officers involved in the first phase of the restructuring exercise, said Lau, adding that it is therefore not over-represented among the exiting officers. #GovTech #retrenchment #Parliament #sgnews
