Jamus Lim, Workers' Party Member of Parliament for Sengkang GRC, has confirmed that he is the sweaty back man in grey photographed from afar wandering around the Anchorvale estate on his own.

In response to Mothership.sg's queries over the weekend asking if he was indeed the person seen in a photo with a large sweat patch on his grey shirt, Lim, 45, said: "Yes, I really should have more of a fashion sense, I suppose."

The image of the solo man perspiring while walking alone in the estate doing his MP rounds generated interest online.

Lim did not respond publicly to the photo or the incident over the weekend after the image appeared on Friday, June 4.

Alluded to sweaty back in latest Facebook post

However, in a Facebook post on June 9, Lim alluded to the sweaty back incident.

His post was to announced that the Anchorvale ward recently changed its cleaning contractor.

Lim wrote that the town council has been monitoring the performance of the new contractor.

He added that the four Sengkang GRC MPs have also hit the ground walking during this Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) period to inspect the situation on the ground for themselves, in pairs at most.

The social media-savvy Lim added, in reference to the perspiring man photo: "Thankfully, unlike much the past week, the day was blissfully overcast, which meant (relatively) less sweaty backs!"
