Lim left Mediacorp in May 2012 after some 20 years in showbiz to work at his father's business and spend more time with his family.[4] [5] He has since returned to acting, but in a freelance capacity.
Personal life
[edit ]Lim married fellow artiste Evelyn Tan in 2004. Lim left the entertainment industry to help his brother with his business and spend more time with his family.[6] [7] The couple has four children named Kristen, Jairus, Way, and Elliot.[8]
