Raymond Lim Siang Keat[a] (born 24 June 1959) is a Singaporean former politician. A member of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), Lim was a Member of Parliament (MP) representing the East Coast Group Representation Constituency for Fengshan from 2001 to 2015. He served as the Minister for Transport from 2006 to 2011, and as a Minister in the Prime Minister's Office from 2005 to 2006. When taking on the transport portfolio, he was informed by Lee Kuan Yew that this was a "thankless job" but that "someone has to do it".[1]
He retired from politics in 2015 and is presently Executive Chairman of APS Asset Management and Senior Advisor to the Swire Group.[2] In 2013, at the launch of a book he published, Lim advocated for individuals to have the courage to speak up against populist views, noting as well that it is "far better" to have an engaged citizenry than a "switched-off" one.[3]
Education
Lim was a Rhodes Scholar and Colombo Plan scholar and holds degrees from the universities of Adelaide, Oxford and King's College, Cambridge (LLM, 1987). Prior to his university education, he was a student and athlete in Raffles Institution.
Before taking on political office, he held numerous positions in the financial industry which he joined after serving as a law lecturer at the National University of Singapore and working as a reporter at The Straits Times.[4]
Personal life
Lim's brother, Benny Lim Siang Hoe, was with the Internal Security Department, and is also a former Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of National Development.
