We frequently meet when I am in Singapore and it was only a month ago we last met at Ju Xing Home restaurant at Takashimaya.

“I was looking forward to meeting him late next week on my return to Singapore. He was a very talented star who was also very kind to everyone. He was my key star in the satellite TV channel CETV. I launched where he co-starred with Lydia Shum. He will be forever missed.”

Moses Lim first rose to fame on the Chinese Comedy show ‘Comedy Night; and then became known as Tan Ah Teck in the sitcom ‘Under One Roof.’ He is survived by wife Monica, children Grace and Angela, as well as granddaughters, Cheryl, Claire, Leanne and Kimberley.
