Response to the controversy

As a result of the public accusation and criticism, Lim withdrew from the 2020 general election. Lim defended himself and claimed that the accusations are “baseless”, he also released a statement through the PAP about the four different allegations on 27 June 2020, the Brazil bribery case, army incidents, Keppel incidents, and not smiling at a neighbour. Tharman Shanmugaratnam told the news media on 29 June 2020 that the PAP will look into the allegation made against Lim.

The PAP officials responded to the accusation for involvement in controversial commercial deals and claimed that “the project Lim oversaw was not one of the projects that became controversial, as it was delivered to SBM Offshore, a company headquartered in the Netherlands”, and “Lim was not involved in negotiating commercial deals as his role was overseeing the execution of projects”. On Lim's behaviour, the PAP admitted that they had received both positive and negative feedback about his behaviour.
