In an interview with Shin Min Daily, Ms Lim revealed that her interest in the martial arts was sparked after watching the Hong Kong movie – “Yip Man” depicting the life story of the teacher of Bruce Lee.
Yip Man was the first Wing Chun master to teach the art openly in “Hong Kong” on a school fee basis. His students and their students therefore make up the majority of the practitioners of Wing Chun today.
Ms Lim had already attended two classes, but according to her, she still have not got the basic “posture” right and her knees hurt after the sessions.
Ms Lim is a NCMP in parliament after her credible debut performance in the last elections when her team garnered a respectable 43.7 per cent of the votes at Aljunied GRC.
Although cautious and conservative, Ms Lim does not flinch in raising difficult or sensitive questions in parliament which might rattle the ruling party.
Ms Lim has largely adopt a more confrontational stance against the government in a style similar to her fellow colleague Hougang MP Low Thia Kiang.
Earlier media reports suggest that she may be contesting in a single-ward seat in Nee Soon South in the next election against PAP’s Lee Bee Wah if the seat is craved out from Ang Mo Kio GRC.
Despite her relatively low-profile, Ms Lim is one of the more credible opposition politicians in Singapore and she appears to have won the respect and trust of many Singaporeans.
Under the new rules which allow for more alternative voices in parliament, Ms Lim is likely to serve another term in parliament as one of the “best losers” even if she does not win her second election.
