He is also a member in the Expert Writing Panel for Clinical Practise Guidelines on Management in cardiovascular disease in Malaysia; a task force member of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) on radiation protection in cardiology; and a member of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s Expert Panel on Radiological Protection of Patients.

He is an elected member of the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly for the constituency of N.14 Batu Kawah since 2016;. He was a former Senator at the Parliament of Malaysia (May 2014 – April 2018). Since September 2014, he has also been serving as the President of the Sarawak United Peoples' Party (SUPP), a Sarawak-based party. The party is an alliance component of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), in which he is the Vice President and one of the original co-founders.

Nonetheless, his father's personal values and passion in public service had rubbed-off on his character, and a chance to serve his homeland came when Dr. Sim found out that the Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) was attempting to set up a cardiology unit. He soon left his practice and returned in 1998, after spending 17 years in Australia. In 2001, the Cardiology Department of SGH was set up. The department had progressively evolved into a cardiology centre (SGH Heart Centre) with its own standalone facilities in Kota Samarahan and a recognised training centre for cardiothoracic surgeons. He climbed the public service ranks from grade JUSA C (at age 37) to JUSA A (age 43) between 2003 and 2009, and after transitioning the leadership at the heart centre, Dr. Sim went on to active politics. His maiden contest for public office was in the 2011 Sarawak Elections which he lost. Five years later, he contested and won in the 2016 Sarawak Elections. Dr. Sim has a special relationship with China. In 1974, Tun Abdul Razak and Dr Sim's late father Tan Sri Sim Kheng Hong were among the people who helped establish the foundations of Malaysia-China bilateral relationship.

He is still active in professional conferences and research. Between 1996 and 2015, he participated as either a faculty member or speaker for more than 200 professional meetings in the US, Europe and Asian-Pacific; made over 200 scientific abstract presentations; over 50 scientific publications (including NEJM); and over 125 clinical trials as a principal investigator.

The son of the late Tan Sri Datuk Amar Sim Kheng Hong (Chinese: 沈庆鸿 ) who was the Deputy Chief Minister of Sarawak from 1974 to 1991, Dr. Sim was no stranger to Sarawakian politics since his childhood. He received his primary education at Chung Hua Primary School No.4 and his secondary education in St. Joseph's Secondary School, Kuching. After that, he completed his Higher School Certificate at St. Bede's College in Mentone, Victoria, Australia. He subsequently graduated with an MBBS from Monash University's Alfred Medical School and completed his cardiology fellowship at Monash Medical Centre in Melbourne.

Prof. Dato Sri Dr. Sim Kui Hian (Chinese: 沈桂贤 ; pinyin: Shěn Guìxián ; born 18 August 1965) is a cardiologist and a minister in the Cabinet of Sarawak, Malaysia. Dr. Sim has been serving as the Minister of Local Government Sarawak in 2016 and, with an added portfolio a year on, as Minister for Local Government and Housing Sarawak. Additionally, he is the minister-in-charge for Kuching South City Council, the Department of Irrigation & Drainage Sarawak, and the Sewerage Services Department Sarawak; and the minister with watching brief for matters pertaining to the Health Department and the Fire & Rescue Department (latter both are federal agencies) in Sarawak.

While acknowledging that Sarawak is part of the Federation of Malaysia, Dr. Sim is one of the most vocal and consistent proponents for more Sarawakian autonomous power and rights, based on the unique contexts of the federation's formation as originally outlined in the Malaysia Agreement 1963, Inter-Governmental Committee Report and recommendations, and the Report of the Cobbold Commission.
