SINGAPORE – Mr Gabriel Lim Meng Liang, 48, Permanent Secretary for Policy at the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), will step down on Sept 1 after 24 years in the public service.
Current MTI Permanent Secretary for Development Beh Swan Gin, 56, who was formerly chairman of the Economic Development Board, will be re-designated as MTI Permanent Secretary on the same day, said the Public Service Division (PSD) in a statement on Aug 5.
From Sept 1, Mr Jeffrey Siow Chen Siang, 46, who is Second Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Manpower, will also take on a portfolio at MTI as Second Permanent Secretary.
Mr Lim began his career in public service in 2000 and has served various appointments across several ministries, including as principal private secretary to then Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong from 2011 to 2014.
In 2014, he was appointed chief executive of the former Media Development Authority (MDA), where he helmed efforts to regulate and develop the media industry, and led the merger of MDA with the Infocomm Development Authority to form the Infocomm Media Development Authority.
Mr Lim began his career as a permanent secretary in 2016, when he joined the former Ministry of Communications and Information in 2016.
There, “he helped accelerate the development of the digital economy, enhance the Government’s cyber preparedness and response capabilities, and strengthen engagement with Singaporeans”, said PSD in its statement.

Among his accomplishments are launching the TechSkills Accelerator, SMEs Go Digital programme and Digital Readiness Blueprint.
In 2019, Mr Lim was appointed MTI Permanent Secretary, and subsequently re-designated as Permanent Secretary for Policy four years later when Dr Beh was moved to MTI as its Permanent Secretary for Development.
Said PSD: “Mr Lim supported the ministry’s efforts to grow the Singapore economy, create good jobs for Singaporeans, develop competitive local enterprises, and strengthen Singapore’s international trade relations.
“In the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic, Mr Lim led MTI in developing support measures for businesses and was instrumental to Singapore’s post-pandemic economic recovery.”
He also oversaw efforts to build up Singapore’s supply chain resilience to achieve a more sustainable balance between local production, diversification and stockpiling.

Following his departure from public service, Mr Lim will be appointed joint head of corporate strategy at Singapore’s investment company Temasek from Oct 1.
The St Joseph’s Institution alumnus was awarded the Public Service Commission scholarship in 1994, according to the school’s website.
He went on to attain a Bachelor of Arts in economics at the University of Cambridge, Master of Science in economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Master of Science in management at Stanford University, according to a 2023 document by global real asset manager CapitaLand Investment, where he sits as a non-executive independent director.
In 2020, Mr Lim was recognised for his contributions to the public service with the Public Administration Medal (Gold), which is given to public servants who have demonstrated outstanding efficiency, competence and industry.

SINGAPORE - The Hindu Endowments Board (HEB) has appointed a new chief executive to take the helm.
In a statement on Oct 9, HEB said Mr Jeevaganth Arumugam, 57, began his appointment in mid-September.
Mr Jeevaganth was previously employed at the the Singapore Police Force, Singapore Armed Forces and the private sector.
He has experience in managing operations, human resource work, and designing and managing programmes.
At HEB, Mr Jeevaganth will focus on strenghtening the board’s operations and its ties with other religious communities in Singapore.
“I am honoured to lead such an important national body and l look forward to working collaboratively with volunteers and stakeholders to strengthen our social compact,” he said.
Mr Jeevaganth holds an engineering degree from the National University of Singapore, as well as two master’s degrees and three post-graduate diplomas in various domains including business administration, career counselling and coaching, and defence technology and systems.

He also founded an endowment for at-risk youth, known as the Youth Avesha Fund.

PAP newcomer and ex-MOT director Foo Cexiang joins PSA Singapore​

SINGAPORE – PAP newcomer Foo Cexiang has joined port operator PSA Singapore as vice-president for port ecosystem development.

Mr Foo, a former director at the Ministry of Transport (MOT), announced this in a LinkedIn post on April 15.

He added that in his new role, he will drive the development of PSA’s supply chain hub and the operator’s strategies for the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, as well as supply chain solutions across different transport modes.

The zone for business and investment covers the Iskandar Development Region and Pengerang in Johor.

In Mr Foo’s former role, he oversaw private and future mobility at MOT, including electric vehicle policy, and was in the service for more than a decade.

Mr Foo, 40, noted that one of the portfolios he was most passionate about at MOT was strengthening Singapore as a global supply chain hub, and that he had worked closely with the private sector – including PSA – and initiated an alliance for action to strengthen supply chain solutions.

“Trade is existential to Singapore, and the port and its ecosystem are a major contributor to our economy and national resilience,” he said.

Adding that the world is entering unprecedented global trade and supply chain uncertainty, he said: “It is a greater imperative than ever before that Singapore continues to anchor our position as a regional hub and global node.

“I am grateful to have the opportunity to join PSA – to be right in the thick of the action, help chart our voyage in this storm and turn adversity into opportunity.”

Mr Foo started his new role on April 15.

He joined Pasir Ris-Punggol grassroots organisations on April 2 after his last day at MOT on April 1.

In early April, Mr Foo was seen walking the ground in the new Punggol GRC.

He told reporters on April 13 at the unveiling of a revamped rooftop garden that he has been attending events and learning from incumbent MPs overseeing the Punggol estates, on the assumption that he will be fielded in the new four-member group representation constituency.

When asked if he would be running as a PAP candidate for Punggol GRC, Mr Foo said on April 13: “That is still something to be determined. I have been sent here by the party to learn as much as I can from the MPs, and I am doing my best.”

SINGAPORE - Temasek’s joint head of corporate strategy Gabriel Lim will join Seviora Holdings, an asset management firm backed by the investment company, as chief executive officer-designate on May 1, 2025.

The former top civil servant will also be appointed to Seviora’s board. He is set to take over as chief executive on Sept 1, succeeding Mr Jimmy Phoon, who is retiring on Aug 31.

Mr Phoon will remain on the board to support a “smooth leadership transition”, Seviora said on April 29.

Headquartered in Singapore, Seviora Group is an independent asset manager wholly owned by Temasek.

It has US$54 billion (S$70 billion) in assets under management as at Dec 31, 2024, and a team of more than 210 investment professionals, with offices in Singapore, India, China, Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates.

Mr Lim’s appointment comes seven months after he joined Temasek in October 2024. He currently oversees corporate strategy alongside Ms Lim Ming Pey, who also serves as chief of staff in the executive office and deputy chief corporate officer.

Seviora Holdings chairman Goh Yew Lin said Mr Lim “brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective” to the company.

“His extensive experience in strategy development and stakeholder engagement will be an asset to the firm,” he added.

Mr Lim began his career in public service in 2000 and has served in various roles cross several ministries, including as principal private secretary to then Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong from 2011 to 2014.

In 2014, he was appointed chief executive of the then Media Development Authority (MDA), where he helmed efforts to regulate and develop the media industry, and led the merger of MDA with the Infocomm Development Authority to form the Infocomm Media Development Authority.

Mr Lim was appointed Ministry of Trade and Industry Permanent Secretary in 2019, and subsequently re-designated as Permanent Secretary for Policy at the ministry four years later.

In 2020, Mr Lim was recognised for his contributions to the public service with the Public Administration Medal (Gold), which is given to public servants who have demonstrated outstanding efficiency, competence and industry.
