I came to know about Catherine Lim while living in Singapore (2000-2002), and have really enjoyed her novels.
She is a controversial writer by Singapore standards. Here's a quote from Wikipaedia:
"In 1994, Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong publicly castigated her for writing two politically critical articles in the Straits Times. The Prime Minister argued that if she wanted to voice her opinion on politics she should join a political party and her comments thus received a so-called "out-of-bounds marker."
