PETALING JAYA: Two Malaysian-born people have made headway in the Australian federal election. The law and arts graduate from the University of Adelaide moved to Australia as an eight-year-old in 1976. As for Sam Lim, the Johor-born won the MP’s seat of Tangney in western Australia. He joined the Western Australia Police Academy in 2006. Two years ago, he was awarded “police officer of the year” for his work with multicultural communities during the Covid-19 pandemic.
