Singapore lawyer Lim Tean is arrested in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, several days after he fails to surrender in Singapore to begin his sentence. Multiple reports state that Lim was required to surrender at the Singapore State Courts on Aug 3 to start a jail term for practising law without a valid certificate. After he did not surrender as ordered, Singapore authorities work with Malaysian police to secure his return to Singapore. The Singapore Police Force is reported to be coordinating with Malaysian counterparts as part of efforts to bring him back to face the remaining requirements of the sentence. The reports indicate that his arrest occurs in Malaysia following the failure to comply with the surrender deadline in Singapore. Following the arrest, authorities continue the process to return him to Singapore for the enforcement of the jail term.
