Conspiracy to Defeat Justice Charges Filed Against Individuals Assisting Lim Tean's Departure

Two Singaporean individuals, Mohammad Adam Abd Karim, 44, and Sulaiman Muhammad Firdaus, 37, have been charged with conspiracy to commit an act with a tendency to defeat the course of justice. These charges stem from their alleged involvement in arranging for opposition politician Lim Tean to leave Singapore.
Arrangements for Lim Tean's Departure

Mohammad Adam Abd Karim and Sulaiman Muhammad Firdaus are accused of facilitating Lim Tean's departure from Singapore. The alleged arrangements were made for Lim to leave the country on August 4. Lim Tean himself was arrested in Johor Bahru on August 6 by the Royal Malaysian Police and subsequently handed over to Singaporean authorities.
Legal Proceedings Against Lim Tean

Lim Tean, the founder of the opposition party Peoples Voice, failed to surrender to serve a three-month-and-one-week jail sentence for practising law without a valid certificate. An arrest warrant was issued against him on August 3. He was convicted of three charges under the Legal Profession Act in July 2024, with his sentence being increased on appeal by the High Court in February 2026.
Ongoing Investigations

The Singapore Police Force's Commercial Affairs Department arrested Lim upon his return to Singapore. Investigations into the circumstances surrounding Lim's departure from the country are reportedly ongoing. The charges against Mohammad Adam Abd Karim and Sulaiman Muhammad Firdaus on August 8 are part of these broader inquiries.
