 Talk:Organisations of the Singapore Government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
May I suggest that the article of Government of Singapore to be modelled after the article Government of Australia, to give an overview of the structure and describe the major branches of government.
I have mentioned the reasons for re-directing the article Government of Singapore to Cabinet of Singapore, and the subsequent creation of the new article Departments of the Singapore Government countless of times.
From point 1 above, because I took the definition of "government" to be "cabinet" and "Government departments" was a sub-list under the item "Cabinet" in the template, I assumed that Vsion might have overlooked this link and meant for "Government departments" to link to an article somewhat similar to Departments of the United Kingdom Government.
