If you’ve been keeping up with the news, the names of two lawyers will appear on your newsfeed pretty often: M Ravi and Lim Tean.
While both have run for elections as opposition members, people nowadays would remember M Ravi as the lawyer representing Nagaenthran K. Dharmalingam, the Malaysian drug trafficker who’s on a death row, and Lim Tean as the lawyer who was seen in a Singapore Debt Collection Service video whereby a group of debt collectors went up to his office to collect a debt.
Apparently, the two are pretty interlinked; M Ravi has joined Lim Tean’s law firm before, and he has also represented Lim Tean in a criminal case whereby Lim Tean is accused of criminal breach of trust and unlawful stalking.
Back then, Lim Tean has refuted both allegations in a video.
Now, all of a sudden, M Ravi has an update, and it’s not looking good for Lim Tean.
M Ravi Suddenly Made Serious Allegations Against Lim Tean, Including Sexual Harassment & Stealing Money
In a surprising twist of event, M Ravi suddenly posted this yesterday (12 November), and then shared an article about Lim Tean’s arrest last year:
In his post, he explained why he had left Lim Tean, claiming that he “manages finances very badly and steals clients’ monies.”
Also, he accused Lim Tean of sexually harassing his paralegal. A paralegal is someone who assists a lawyer.
He added, “He is free to sue me for defamation and im (sic) free to cross examine him in court,” before ending with a “lol”.
What Happened
Back in October 2020, as Trump was confirmed to have COVID-19, Lim Tean was arrested for two alleged offences.
The first is criminal breach of trust. It’s alleged that it happened in 2018, when Lim Tean took a case for an accident case for an “Indian man”, whom we should call Man A. Lim Tean claimed that he didn’t collect a single cent from him for after taking up his case, and even lent him money—all out of “sympathy and kindness”.
The next year, he managed to obtain damages for him, and the court also awarded him legal costs of $18,000.
According to Lim Tean, Man A then started to “play games” and changed his lawyer, and then changed back to Lim Tean, which led to a “dispute between money”. However, Lim Tean said he hasn’t got a single cent from the $18,000.
Apparently, in November last year, Man A filed a complaint with CAD, and Lim Tean didn’t reply to the “letters” because Man A’s new lawyer is…erm, “mad”.
The second alleged offence is unlawful stalking, and according to Lim Tean, he has “never stalk anyone in my life”.
He claimed that the employee has worked for him for a month.
Lim Tean had wanted to engage her as a paralegal, but he claimed she couldn’t “make it”, and she resigned after one month.
There was no mention about the offence; instead, Lim Tean criticized her attitude, and also read out the resignation letter that she has submitted.
Lim Tean had then repeatedly said that this was a “political move” because he was then going to represent Leong Sze Hian in a defamation trial by PM Lee.
