SINGAPORE: An arrest warrant has been issued for lawyer Lim Tean after he failed to report for the start of his jail term.
The 61-year-old Singaporean was supposed to surrender on Monday (Aug 3) to serve a jail term of three months and one week for practising law without a valid certificate.
Mr Revi Shanker, Lim's lawyer, confirmed with CNA on Tuesday that Lim was supposed to surrender in the State Courts by noon the day before (Aug 3), but he did not show up.
Mr Shanker said he tried contacting Lim but he was uncontactable.
