Source-derived summary

Kiki Lim Jiow Ting (born 28 March 2002) is a Singaporean actress and singer.

Early life and career

Lim has a brother who is eight years older. Her mother is a housewife and her father is a bus driver. Lim accredited her mother for cultivating her interest in performing since young, after finding out that Lim had a talent for singing when she was three. Lim's mother accompanied her to take part in various singing, dancing and storytelling competitions and Lim developed a passion for the entertainment industry in the process. At the age of 7, Lim was one of the dancers at Hong Kong star Aaron Kwok's concert in Singapore.

Lim began acting when she was 11, with a leading role in Channel 8 children's drama Little Detective. The following year in 2014, she appeared in the Okto series Wizard of Honey Street, as well as in the Suria series A&E .

Lim has also appeared in ads for KFC Breakfast in 2011, Nickelodeon's anti bullying campaign in 2014 and a commercial for Cathay Cineplex in 2018.

Lim took a hiatus from acting for four to five years to concentrate on her studies, attending an Institute of Technical Education, majoring in business.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “singaporean actress and singer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q117746263. The first chronological checks are 2002, 2014, 2011 and 2018.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
