A new face for the People’s Action Party (PAP), Ivan Lim, has been making himself known across social media (he’s trending in the number one spot on local Twitter) but not for something he’d want to be associated with. 

Since his introduction as a PAP candidate on Wednesday (June 24), netizens have been stepping forward with accusations of the 42-year-old’s elitist and selfish attitude.

Anecdotes from his alleged NSmen who served under him, colleagues in Keppel Offshore and Marine (where Lim is a general manager), and even a school mate at Singapore Polytechnic, have gone viral online. 

The controversy grew loud enough for PAP not to ignore. In a virtual press conference yesterday (June 26), PAP vice-chairman Masagos Zulkifli addressed the issue and stood by Lim, stating that GE2020 would be a good opportunity for any candidates to redeem themselves if they have done “something in the past”.
