He was supposed to start his jail term three days before.

The Singapore Police are working with the Malaysian police to bring Lim Tean back to Singapore.

The police thank the Malaysian authorities for their help.

Singapore had issued a warrant for Lim Tean's arrest after he failed to report to jail.

Lim Tean was supposed to start his three-month jail term on August 3.

He did not show up, and his lawyer could not contact him.

Lim Tean was first told to report to jail on July 20, but the date was changed to August 3.

Lim Tean's sentence was changed from six weeks to three months and one week.

Lim Tean was found guilty in July 2024.

His sentence was increased because the judge thought it was too short.

Lim Tean was declared bankrupt and fined $30,000 in April.

Lim Tean is the leader of the Peoples Voice party.

He lost an election in Potong Pasir last year.
