Tan Sri Datuk Amar Steve Shim Lip Kiong (simplified Chinese: 沈立强; traditional Chinese: 沈立強; pinyin: Shěn Lìqiáng; born 20 January 1940)[1] is a Malaysian lawyer and judge who served as the third Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak.

As a High Court judge, Shim took postings in Kuching and later Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia, beginning 1996.

[3] In 2011, Shim was selected to chair the newly-created National Wage Consultative Council placed under the Ministry of Human Resources of Malaysia.

[4] Following the loss of Mohammad Najib Abdul Razak and his Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition in the 14th Malaysian general election, Shim was selected to chair a special tribunal formed in 17 October 2018 to probe and seek the removal of six members of the Election Commission of Malaysia (SPR) after thirteen charges were framed against the latter.

[5][6][7][8][9] In May 2019, Shim deemed the matter academic and announced that the tribunal has decided to no longer proceed its probe after the personnel in question all opted for early resignation.
