SINGAPORE – Embattled oil tycoon Lim Oon Kuin was hit on Friday (Sept 25) with a second charge of abetment of forgery for the purpose of cheating.
Better known as O.K. Lim, the 78-year-old founder of Hin Leong Trading was not allowed into the State Courts due to a respiratory problem. The second charge against him was read in Mandarin to him outside the court. His $3 million bail was also extended.
Lim was earlier charged last month with one count of abetment of forgery for the purpose of cheating. The offence carries a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine.
Responding to District Judge Christopher Goh’s query, Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Navin Naidu told the court that there could be additional charges brought against Lim.
The next mention in court will take place on Nov 23 at 3pm.
