Serious Lawyer Lim Tean Court Case . ST 18 Dec 2018.

SINGAPORE - A writ of summons had been issued against former National Solidarity Party (NSP) chief Lim Tean over an unpaid loan of US$150,000 (S$205,641) which he disputed.
In August this year, State Courts Deputy Registrar Regina Lim Siew Mei ruled for Mr Lim, who is a lawyer, to repay the amount to Chinese national Huang Min.
A summary judgment by District Judge Tan May Tee dated Nov 22 this year stated that she agreed with Ms Lim.
Following this, Mr Lim has appealed to the High Court about the matter and the case is still pending.
Represented by lawyers Lim Mingguan and Bestlyn Loo, Mr Huang, who is based in Shanghai, issued the writ of summons filed on Dec 14 last year.
According to Mr Huang, on or around Sept 13, 2013, he agreed to lend US$150,000 to Mr Lim Tean, who agreed to repay the amount by Nov 30 that year.
The statement of claim did not reveal the reasons behind the loan.
Court documents stated that the Chinese national transferred over the money on or around Sept 17, 2013, but Mr Lim did not repay any part of the amount by the agreed date.
According to Mr Huang's claim, Judge Tan said: "On or around Feb 21, 2017, the defendant e-mailed the plaintiff to say among other things, that he was 'making arrangements to start paying (the plaintiff) back within the next two months'.
"The defendant also stated that he regretted the 'long delay', was 'very sorry for the inconvenience caused', and assured the plaintiff that the loan would be repaid."
The judge said that in his defence, Mr Lim denied Mr Huang's claim "in its entirety".
She added that according to Mr Lim, the Chinese national had expressed his desire to buy iron ore from Mr Lim's Indonesian mine through a firm called Falcon Resources (FRC).
Judge Tan said: "The defendant's case was that the plaintiff had visited his mine in or around 2012 or 2013 and was happy with the quality of the iron ore.
"In or around September 2013, the defendant had agreed to sell iron ore from his mine to FRC, and requested for a down payment of US$150,000 for the sale of the first cargo with details of the sale to be finalised and completed with the plaintiff and FRC."
The judge added that according to Mr Lim, Mr Huang wanted the down payment to be termed as a loan "for his own internal purposes".
In her summary judgment, she said: "On my examination of the documents... it was clear to me that they were inadequate to support the defendant's assertion that the sum of US$150,000 was a down payment for the sale of iron ore to the plaintiff's company."
The judge also said Mr Lim's e-mail was an "unequivocal admission" of the loan.
News reports in October this year stated that Mr Lim, who announced his resignation from NSP in a Facebook post in May last year, has set up a new political party called the People's Voice.
It is the 11th political party in Singapore.

Sad.
This clown sent an email, that will prove to be the evidence
its Over. even before the Horses go to the starting Stalls. very sad for all who have wagered on him.
Any oppie in a Singapore court for judgement is dead meat....
PAP bao and underwrite all court & lawyer fees...you say lah.
And so are sea sand deals used for land reclamation. As shady and as risky as anything!
What else do you expect from oppies? This Lim Tean has shown his true colours. Oppies would do well to abandon him and swing back to the PAP.
Siao. They obviously published it to fix him. Swivel eyed loons always fall for it. He didnt join the rabif rambos calling for war? How is that a negativez.
