Two Singaporean men will be charged on Saturday (Aug 8) for allegedly conspiring to help lawyer Lim Tean illegally leave Singapore for Malaysia. Lim, 61, was arrested in Johor Bahru on Thursday after failing to surrender to serve a three-month jail term for practising law without a valid certificate. The two men, aged 37 and 44, face up to seven years in prison for engaging in a conspiracy to defeat the course of justice. Singapore authorities are working closely with Malaysian police to secure Lim's return to Singapore.
