Lim Lip Eng


Lim Lip Eng is a Malaysian politician and is the Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Kepong constituency in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur. He is a member of the Democratic Action Party party in the Pakatan Harapan 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 BN 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 re-elected to the Segambut seat for second term. In the 2018 election Lim switched to Kepong constituency and won the seat.
Lim is a Christian and a lawyer by profession.
