I’m Sam Lim, your Federal Member of Parliament for Tangney.

In 2022, when you elected me as your local representative in Federal Parliament, I promised to serve you, to work hard every day and to deliver on our commitments to Tangney.

I am proud to have delivered on my commitments and to have raised the issues that matter most to you and your family.

In my first term, I have worked tirelessly as part of a Federal Labor Government that has worked to help take the pressure off the cost of living, while investing in Medicare, education, local infrastructure and the local environment. I have supported local schools, sporting clubs and community groups.

I was born in Malaysia in 1961. I worked as a dolphin trainer – the best job of my life – and owned and operated small businesses both in Malaysia and then in Perth, where my family and I ran a small café after we migrated in 2002.

I joined the WA Police in 2006, fulfilling a life-long dream of becoming a police officer.

In 2020 I was awarded Police Officer of the Year for my work with multicultural communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This work was achieved in part because I speak many languages, which has also come in handy in Tangney where we have residents from more than 160 ancestries.

Your trust in me as your Federal Representative is a great privilege and I am proud of our results.

We still have more work to do as we work to build Tangney’s future.

Sam
