Section 47

As from 1 February 1960, every officer of the Singapore Improvement Trust, not being an officer exclusively engaged in the planning functions of the Singapore Improvement Trust, is deemed to be transferred to the service of the Board at the same rate of pay and, as near as may be, on the same conditions of service, as those on which he or she was employed by the Singapore Improvement Trust.

Nothing in this section affects the right of the Board to terminate the employment of any such officer transferred to the service of the Board or to vary his or her rate of pay or conditions of service in the manner and to the extent that the Singapore Improvement Trust could have done had he or she continued in the service of the Singapore Improvement Trust.[41
