			=== Online allegations ===
			Several netizens spoke out against Ivan Lim's character and past conduct on social media. A Facebook user by the name of Bryant Wong Hai Chew shared an incident during which Ivan Lim was the Commanding Officer (CO) of his former National Service (NS) Combat Engineer Battalion. Bryant Wong, as an acting Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) at the time, recounted Ivan Lim's reaction to having platoon and section commanders in the Battalion HQ tentage. An excerpt from the post reads:
			... using a condescending voice, he (Ivan Lim) reminded all that they are just platoon and section commanders and they were not supposed to set foot in the Battalion HQ tentage. I was disgusted. His action and speech were simply that of an elitist.<ref>Romero, Anna Maria .

			=== Withdrawal ===
			On 27 June 2020, Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Heng Swee Keat urged Ivan Lim to address the allegations.
