Quah Kim Song is a name that remains on many a coffee-shop uncle’s lips. During his heyday in the 1970s, the ex-Singapore footballer was a nippy forward who left opposition defenders trailing in his wake. He is perhaps most famous for netting a brace in Singapore’s 1977 Malaysia Cup win at the Merdeka Stadium in Kuala Lumpur. More than three decades on, Quah, now 61, is still making heartland news – but this time, for weaving his way into the affections of Singapore opposition politician Sylvia Lim. The chairperson of the Workers’ Party (WP) told The Straits Times on Saturday that the two have been dating for the past six months. The couple – both Catholics – first met at a WP variety show in January where Quah, invited as special guest, sang and danced with Lim, who is 48 and single. The youngest of the footballing Quah brothers must have swept Lim, an Aljunied Member of Parliament, off her feet. Local press quoted Quah, a widower with two children, saying they “hope to be together for a long time.” And for that to happen, the topic of politics is off-limits for the lovebirds, according to Straits Times. “I know her as Sylvia Lim, and not Sylvia Lim, chairman of WP,” said Quah, who quit as Singapore football’s Director of Competitions in 2010. Lim, a former police inspector and lawyer by profession, agreed. “We try not to talk about politics if we can.’’ What would you do with £150m to build your dream team?
