Lim Lip Eng

Who is Lim Lip Eng?

Lim Lip Eng is a Malaysian politician and is the Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Segambut constituency in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur. He is a member of the Democratic Action Party party in the Pakatan Rakyat opposition coalition.

Lim was first elected to Parliament in the 2008 election winning the seat of Segambut from the governing Barisan Nasional coalition. Segambut had previously been considered as a Barisan Nasional stronghold. The election saw urban Chinese and Indian voters swarm to the DAP and its coalition allies; however, given the large minority of Malay voters in Segambut, Lim's victory was also attributable to a sizeable number of Muslim Malays in the constituency backing the DAP, a secular party with few Malay members or politicians. In the 2013 election he increased his margin from 7,732 votes to 19,199.

Lim is a Christian and a lawyer.
