Two Singaporean men, aged 37 and 44, will be charged in court on 8 August 2026 for their suspected involvement in a conspiracy to defeat the course of justice.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the two men were believed to have conspired to make arrangements for Lim Tean to illegally depart Singapore for Malaysia, when Lim Tean had been ordered to surrender at the State Courts of Singapore on 3 August 2026 to commence his imprisonment term.

Lim Tean was arrested by the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) in Johor Bahru on 6 August 2026. The SPF is working closely with the RMP to secure his return to Singapore.

The two men will each be charged with one count of engaging in a conspiracy to do an act that has a tendency to defeat the course of justice, knowing that the act is likely to defeat the course of justice under Section 204A(a) read with Section 109 of the Penal Code. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to seven years, or with fine, or with both.

The authorities take a firm stance against those who assist others to evade justice. Such offenders will be prosecuted to the fullest extent under the law.
