Two men are set to be charged over alleged arrangements to help lawyer Lim Tean leave Singapore illegally for Johor. Sources say the men allegedly conspire to make the necessary arrangements for Lim Tean to depart without complying with Singapore legal processes.
The case follows Lim Tean’s arrest in Johor Bahru by Malaysian police after he fails to surrender in Singapore to serve jail time. According to court documents cited by one outlet, the alleged arrangements included plans for Lim Tean to leave Singapore on Aug 4. Another outlet reports the charge relates to the same set of alleged arrangements for him to depart illegally.
While the outlets differ in how they describe the timeline and emphasis—some focusing on the alleged conspiracy, others on Lim Tean’s arrest and his failure to surrender—the reporting is consistent that two men face charges connected to alleged facilitation of Lim Tean’s departure to Johor.
