Early life and career
Lim attended Catholic High School, Raffles Institution and Raffles Junior College as part of his early education in Singapore.[1] He was also a service medic in the Singapore Armed Forces during his national service in Singapore.[1]
Lim graduated from the University of Southern Queensland with a Bachelor of Business in economics.[1] He then obtained a Master of Science in economics from the London School of Economics; and a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies in history from Harvard University. He then went on to the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he graduated with a Master of Arts in politics and a doctorate in international economics.[4]
Upon graduation, Lim worked at the World Bank for seven years, serving in its Development Prospects Group and specialising in long-term macroeconomic projections.[5] He was also an economist at the Institute for Southeast Asian Studies and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.[6] In 2018, he joined the Singapore-based independent investment management firm Thirdrock.[7] Prior to entering elective politics, Lim was also an associate professor of economics at ESSEC Business School in Singapore.[8][9]
Political career
Lim became a member of the Workers' Party in September 2019, having previously volunteered in the party's grassroots activities.[5] On 30 June 2020, he was announced as one of the party's four members contesting the Sengkang Group Representation Constituency as part of the 2020 Singaporean general election, alongside Raeesah Khan, He Ting Ru, and Louis Chua.[10]
On 1 July 2020, Lim was engaged in a election debate with Francis Yuen of the Progress Singapore Party, Chee Soon Juan of the Singapore Democratic Party and Vivian Balakrishnan of the People's Action Party that was broadcast live on television.[11][12] His performance at the debate was well-received,[13][14][15] with PN Balji of The New Paper writing that he was "smelling of roses"[16] and Toh Wen Li of The Straits Times describing Lim as the "star candidate" of the Workers' Party.[17]
On 10 July 2020, Lim and his team were elected into the Parliament of Singapore after garnering 52.13% of the votes from their constituency,[3][18] defeating the People's Action Party in an upset victory that secured a second group representation constituency for the opposition.[19][20]

In his younger days, Lim was a rugby player, drummer, and self-declared "Solitaire junkie".[8] He is married.[4] His first daughter was born in December 2019.[2][6]
