Police’s Response To Media Queries On The Arrest Of Mr Lim Tean

Mr Lim Tean was told that he could reschedule the interview to another date, if he had valid reasons to do so. However, he replied through his counsel on 27 September 2020 that he would not attend any interview. Given this, the Police had no choice but to arrest him to carry on with the investigations.

Please see attached letter from his counsel dated 27 September 2020, parts of which have been redacted as they contain information and allegations in relation to the cases.
