If you thought Jamus Lim from the Workers’ Party looked familiar, you are not alone.

Some netizens have commented how the political newcomer and one of GE2020’s breakout stars looks like another famous person — Singaporean Mandopop singer, JJ Lin.

And that’s not where the similarity ends to Jamus lim or JJ Lin. The pair even share similar-sounding names.

Jamus’ middle name is Jerome, which basically makes him JJ Lim.

We think PAP candidate for Punggol West SMC has a famous twin too, in CGTN news anchor Liu Xin.

We didn’t think so at first, but when placed side by side, the resemblance between Korean actress Kim Go-eun and WP’s Nicole Seah is uncanny.

Okay, we admit we cheated with this one. Even if the former Pasir-Ris Punggol GRC MP (that’s Teo Ser Luck) and former pageant-queen turned etiquette coach Teo Ser Lee look-alike, it shouldn’t be surprising. They are brother and sister, after all.
