LT Lim and his lovely wife Pansy. Fit, amiable and energetic LT Lim celebrated his 80th Birthday on 16 Dec 2023 with his wife Pansy by his side. Age has not deterred the loving couple from enjoying life to the fullest. They laugh a lot. Both are friendly, nice, respectful and gregarious. Not many can boast to live life up to this age without any compromise on their quality of life. This loving couple serves as a role model couple in terms of staying healthy and being happy; they strongly encourage Malaysians to focus on their health, be happy and to laugh more often

The discourse surrounding the balance be ..read more
