Workers’ Party (WP) chair Sylvia Lim showed off her and fiance Quah Kim Song's wedding rings on Instagram on Oct 25.

This comes after reports of her upcoming nuptials with the Singapore football icon in January 2025.

Ms Lim, 59, posted on Instagram: "Yes, we will!

"Complete what we started almost 12 years ago.

"We recently collected our custom-made wedding rings that arrived from Kyoto, Japan. I have a good feeling about this marriage."

Among those who congratulated her in the comments included actor Zheng Geping and WP cadre Gerald Giam.

This will be 72-year-old Quah's second marriage. Wife Shirley Wang died of cancer in 2007. He has a son, Leon, 44, and daughter, Leonora, 40, as well as five grandchildren.

Quah and Ms Lim started dating after he was coaxed by mutual friends to sing at a WP fundraiser, where he danced with Ms Lim on stage in January 2013.

“It was not the songs; it was his down-to-earth manner. For a sporting legend, that’s attractive,” Ms Lim told The Straits Times.

As she got to know Quah better, she also admired “his ability to see the woods for the trees”.

She added: “He gives me good advice about how not to sweat the small stuff. This comes from his life experience.”

In return, Quah likes how Ms Lim “does not shy away from difficult situations”.

He said: “She will speak her mind publicly and is prepared to stand up for what she believes in.”

This will include fiery rally speeches ahead of the upcoming general election, which has to be held no later than November 2025.

When asked how this would affect their honeymoon plans, Ms Lim quipped: “If the Prime Minister will give information about when the general election will be called, then maybe we can plan for a honeymoon!”
