Our deepest condolences to our President, YB Datuk Amar Prof. Dr Sim Kui Hian and family on the passing of his dear mother. May you find strength and comfort in the cherished memories you hold in your hearts.

#怀着深切悲痛悼念我们挚爱的母亲｜ We are in deep grief over the passing of our beloved mother, Puan Sri Datin Amar LIM Su Kheng (20.3.1942 - 17.11.2025) at the family home this evening, surrounded by her loved ones.

I lost a mother who gave me unconditional love throughout my whole life. Frugal on herself (always reminded us she walked bare footed to school during WW2) but always generous with her motherly love to relatives, friends, communities and the NGO charities close to her heart.

Not just a politician wife to Tan Sri Datuk Amar SIM Kheng Hong (held the 1st Vice President 1 of Sarawak Badan Amal Tenaga Isteri-Isteri , various posts within SUPP and various NGOs) but also mother to a doctor-and-politician. Over the years, she understood with compassion regarding our long hours at work and being away from family.

As a grandmother, she showered her grandchildren with unconditional love, devoting so much time on Enson and Simson’s upbringing and schooling, and instilling in them the family values and love for Sarawak.

Mummy, you will be deeply missed by every one of us.

Forever grateful to:
❇️ the prayers from relatives and friends
❇️ the support of immediate relatives, close family friends & palliative cares from Oncology SGH, Two Three Lodge, and iCare Home Nursing
❇️ the understanding of my colleagues, friends, all the different communities in Sarawak, allowing me to scale back my daily schedules over the last 2 months so I could spend precious time at my mum’s bedside.

Wake will be @ our family home:
100 Jalan Wan Abdul Rahman, Kenyalang Park, 93300 Kuching, Sarawak. https://maps.app.goo.gl/R66eUWMct1MG62Pi6

Funeral arrangement will be advised shortly.

"You Raise Me Up"
#阿弥陀佛🙏

// 怀着深切悲痛悼念我们挚爱的母亲潘斯里拿汀阿玛沈林素卿，于2025年11月17日（生于1942年3月20日）在家中于亲人陪伴下安详离世。

我失去了一位给予我一生无条件母爱的人。她一向对自己节俭（常提醒我们她在二战时期赤脚走路上学），却始终以宽厚的母爱回馈亲戚、朋友、社群，以及她所关怀的非政府慈善组织。

她不仅是丹斯里拿督阿玛沈庆鸿的政治伴侣（曾担任砂拉越部长夫人协会第一副主席、在砂拉越人民联合党及多个非政府组织担任要职），更是一位医生兼政治人物的母亲，多年来体谅我们因长时间工作、离家公务的生活。

作为婆婆，她给予孙辈无尽的爱，不仅花大量时间陪伴 Enson 与 Simson 的成长与学习，更从小在他们心中植入家庭价值与对砂拉越的热爱。

妈妈，我们会永远怀念您。

我们永远感恩：
❇️亲友们的祝福与祈祷
❇️至亲、挚友，以及砂拉越中央医院肿瘤科、Two Three Lodge、iCare居家护理团队给予的照护与支持
❇️同事、朋友及砂拉越各族群体的体谅，让我在过去两个月得以暂缓日常事务，陪伴母亲走过最后的日子

治丧仪式将在古晋肯雅兰公园万阿都拉曼路100号（100 Jalan Wan Abdul Rahman, Kenyalang Park, 93300 Kuching, Sarawak）举行：

阿弥陀佛
