More about Dr Lim

The last entry for 1951 shows him with Phyllis Lee and Pamela Lau, after which they departed for Penang, Malaysia on the P&O Liner Canton on June 29 1951, described as a Doctor and housewife, aged 42 and 36 respectively.
An entry for 1933 at 9 Taviton Street, NW1 may also have been during his student days.

Subsequently Chew Shan Yong Lim moved to Australia, living variously at 31 Kensington Road, Summer Hill NSW in the 1960s, and later at 34 Devonshire Street, Chatswood, NSW.

She joined the hostel in Singapore in 1955 but is leaving in July 1956 to tour the far east, followed by Australia and America. She is an expert on English, Chinese and Continental cookery and holds a diploma for institutional and catering management.
"She also supervised school meals for London City [sic] Council [probably London County Council]
"she has not decided on plans after her tour"
