Stay tuned for their inspiring interviews at GovInsider and AUPE’s The Public Employee newsletters. From driving productivity improvements to embracing digital transformation, they truly embody the Worker 4.0 spirit!

Joining a government department and building AI bots to streamline workflows would seem like a fun assignment to most. And it certainly has been so for Jonaas Quek, who works as a Job-Skills Analyst in the data team in SkillsFuture Singapore, a statutory board under the Ministry of Education (MOE).

A passionate believer in the power of good that artificial intelligence (AI) brings to the table, Quek has been working with large language models (LLMs) to help transform the operational processes in his division, leading to his nomination for the Amalgamated Union of Public Employees (AUPE) Transformation Champion’s 2025 award.

“Being selected as an AUPE Transformation Champion is a great honour. It validates my efforts in driving positive change and encourages me to continue advocating for skill development and embracing innovation within my team and organisation. I hope to encourage other colleagues that you need not be a team leader to innovate and make changes to your work environment.”

Lim Xiu Ling, who has been chosen as AUPE’s Digital Transformation Champion, says her journey as a champion was not about fearlessness towards change, but rather about navigating fear with the support of a strong network.

Like many people, I sometimes struggle with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. It is the kindness and encouragement of my friends and colleagues that gives me the confidence to step outside my comfort zone and embrace new opportunities, says Lim.

Becoming a Transformation Champion isn’t just a personal achievement; it reflects the collective effort and unwavering support of the organisation and colleagues as we work together to embrace change and drive continuous improvement.
