Former Singapore Idol judge Ken Lim is appealing his conviction and 13-month jail sentence for molesting a woman in 2021. According to court reporting, his appeal challenges the basis of the verdict.
The Straits Times says Lim’s lawyer argues the conviction is unsafe, citing contradictions in the woman’s testimony. Channel NewsAsia reports that the appeal is pending and that the court reserves judgment, with its decision to be delivered at a later date.
While outlets agree on the fact of the appeal and the reserved decision, they emphasize different aspects of the proceedings. One focuses on the defence’s position about alleged inconsistencies in testimony, while the other highlights the procedural status of the case and the timing of the court’s ruling.
