Lim grew up with the nation’s top intelligence agency (special branch) and was a very successful counterinsurgent, bestowed with the British high commissioner’s commendation in early 1953 at the time of the late Sir Gerald Templer.
Lim transferred his Malayan experience and expertise in a short stint in Sarawak (1970–1971) and played a key role in the anticommunist campaign that dealt crushing blows against the PGRS and PARAKU forces of the North Kalimantan Communist Party prior to the establishment of the RASCOM (Rajang Security Command) in March 1972 to handle the serious but already fading threat in Sibu, Third Division, Sarawak.
Lim earned his promotion to head the SB Psychological Warfare desk in 1975 until his retirement in July 1984. He worked closely with the late Tan Sri C. C. Too, one of the world’s leading experts on Communism.
Lim authored the first book (a biography) on the late Tan Sri C. C. Too entitled The Story of A Psywarrior (published in 2000).
A graduate (English literature, 1959) of University Malaya, Khor Eng Lee has worked in the mass media since 1960, in both the public and private sectors. He was a lead writer with the New Straits Times for ten years until his retirement at the end of 1991. Now a freelance writer, Khor has authored Riding a Tiger (1996) about the postwar struggle for independence in Singapore and coauthored A Vision of 2020 (1996) on the economic dimension of Malaysia’s Vision 2020.view less
