Two men to be charged over alleged arrangements for Lim Tean to leave Singapore illegally

Two men are set to be charged in Singapore for allegedly making arrangements to help politician Lim Tean leave the country illegally. The impending charges follow Lim's arrest by Malaysian police in Johor Bahru on Thursday.

Lim was apprehended after failing to surrender himself in Singapore to begin serving a scheduled jail term. The authorities are now moving against those who allegedly assisted in his unauthorized departure.
