Foods for Very Fit Civil Servants
As the saying goes, you are what you eat. The Challenge Nutrition Department reveals how “flavourful” the Public Service can be.
Ice Kacang: A pinnacle of exhilarating goodness, ice kacang wouldn’t be quite as awesome without the diverse flavours of all its ingredients – shaved ice, coloured syrup, condensed milk, beans and jelly. Just like WOG (Whole-of-Government).
Roti Prata: You stretch and flex to meet the needs of customers. Just what’s needed for excellent service!
Teh Tarik - Prata is best served with teh tarik. The best customer service officers perform well even when stretched to their limits. They stay calm and resilient even when things get hot, and are willing to go the distance to serve.
Kueh Lapis: Bite into this all at once and you risk getting into a sticky situation. But if you have the perseverance to peel through the layers of hierarchy, you will start to make sense of it all.
Agar Agar: Sweet, refreshing and firm, agar-agar can come in different colours and shapes. But there’s one thing they all have in common: they honestly have nothing to hide. You can see right through them.
Clam: How many times have you wished your colleagues would speak their minds? These gahmen officers are so clammed up, they give others the hives.
Popcorn: You know the type. They butter up others and make a lot of noise. But hey, at least when they pop under pressure, they are real yummy.
Curry Puff: Simple comfort food that is easy to eat but requires a steady hand to form its fluted edges elegantly. Similarly, a meticulous and warm touch is needed to deliver services that satisfy.

Here’s where we let the humour loose, and learn to laugh at ourselves a little more. Have ideas or jokes about the Public Service?
