Lim Kuang Beng, general secretary of Singapore Industrial & Services Employees’ Union
Mr Lim Kuang Beng was first elected into the Branch Committee of the Singapore Aerospace Maintenance Co Pte Ltd (now known as Singapore Technologies Aerospace Engineering Pte Ltd) in 1989, rising up the ranks to become General Secretary of Singapore Industrial & Services Employees’ Union (SISEU) in 1996 – a position he still holds today.
In his 27 years as a union leader, he rallied SISEU to work on engagement programmes with a vision to grow its membership and strengthen its financial position. Today, SISEU is the second largest NTUC-affiliated union.

At the national level, he was a member of the National Wages Council for nine terms and Employee Panel Member of the Industrial Arbitration Court for 10 years. He also served on the Public Transport Council and Central Provident Fund Board.
At the NTUC level, he chaired a number of NTUC committees, including Membership, and Employment and Employability.
