Introducing Mr Felix Tan – Operations Manager of International Lutheran Seafarers’ Mission (ILSM)

Introducing Felix Tan – ILSM

Felix Tan

My name is Felix Tan, and I am the new Operations Manager for the International Lutheran Seafarers’ Mission (ILSM). I was a volunteer photographer for the ILSM Christmas party in Dec 2024 as well as for the Seafarers Carnival in June 2025.

I used to be a hardware Customer Engineer in HP, a 3^rd level support for Lexmark, an Allied Educator (Teaching & Learning) in MOE, an ICT Manager in MOE, and then a Customer Success Manager in NCS, before I took on this current role.

I had been looking for a job since January 2025,  after going for interviews, then nothing.  I was feeling very disheartened by June.  

Then Gabriel Yuen, our ILSM Treasurer, called me to help for the Seafarers’ Carnival and I agreed to help as I had helped for the Christmas party at QLC in December 2025.

Eventually Gabriel called again and asked if I was keen for this role.  I immediately said “yes” to the offer.  I have to thank God for answering my prayers regarding my job search.

I am a Roman Catholic, from St Bernadette Church but I go to St Teresa Church now.

My office is within the LCS office in Jurong Christian Church on the 4^th floor. If you are around, please drop by to say hello.

My hobbies are photography and cycling. When I take a break from work, I cycle every Tuesday and Friday. Sometimes on a Sunday too.
