Lim Hwee Hua (née Tan; simplified Chinese: 陈惠华; traditional Chinese: 陳惠華; pinyin: Chén Huì Huá; born 26 February 1959) is a former Singaporean politician. A member of the country's governing People's Action Party (PAP), she became the first woman to serve in Singapore's Cabinet when she was made a Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office in 2009. She also concurrently served as the Second Minister for Finance and Second Minister for Transport. However she lost her seat in Parliament at the 2011 general election when she was part of the PAP team which was defeated by the Workers' Party in the Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC), following which she announced that she was retiring from politics.
Lim began her career as an Administrative Officer in the Ministries of Finance, Education and Law. In 1989, she joined Swiss Bank Corporation as an investment analyst and moved on to Jardine Fleming in 1992, where she served as Head of Research and Director of Business Development. In 2000, she joined Temasek Holdings first as Managing Director of Corporate Stewardship and later, Managing Director of Strategic Relations.
