Emily Lim (林佩琦; born 5 August 1982) is a Malaysian actress, model, host and nutritionist. In 2005, she participated in the Miss ASTRO International Chinese Pageant contest in Malaysia and made her debut as 1st runner-up, Miss Perfect Body and Miss Elegant.[1] In 2006, she participated in local TV series "The Beginning", which was her first TV series. In 2019, she won the Best Leading Actress in the Kuala Lumpur Film Critics Association of Malaysia (Anugerah Majlis Pengkritik Filem Kuala Limpur) for her local horror film "Two Sisters".
Early life
Born in 1982 into a Peranakan family, Emily was raised in Malacca, and lived with her family close to the Portuguese Settlement. Her childhood was less than idyllic however, as her father constantly imperilled their family. Unsurprisingly enough, her father ran away with the family's money, and never returned. It led to a terrifying experience that involved incensed thugs barging into Emily's household and attempting to abduct her. She was only sixteen years old at the time. In order to reduce the family's burden, Emily actively sought scholarships and worked everywhere to repay her father's debts. Later, she is attracted by the prize money of the beauty contest and resolutely signed up to participate. Finally, as she wished, Emily won the first runner-up of the Malaysia Miss ASTRO Chinese International Pageant and paid off part of the debts. Her time in the entertainment industry seemed to be brief at first, and she entered the corporate world after graduating. Emily's beauty and attractive performance in the pageant caught the attention of the audience and commercial advertisers, and TV drama producers began to invite her to participate in their projects. After discussion and encouragement by her boss of the engineering company, Emily decided to quit her full-time high paid salary job. In 2006, she decided to join the advertising model industry and the showbiz circle.[2]
Personal life
In 2010, Emily began a romantic relationship with actor Alan Yun, she married him on 28 February 2018.[3]
