Five debt collectors dressed in black showed up unannounced at lawyer and opposition politician Lim Tean's office to demand repayment of money owed on behalf of a creditor.

The entire confrontation was filmed and streamed live on Facebook on the Singapore Debt Collection Service (SDCS) page on Sep. 21, which lasted more than 18 minutes.

Need to pay more than S$4,905
The confrontation centred around the debt collectors being sent to Lim's office, Carson Law Chambers, to request for a repayment of more than S$4,905.

Did not reveal who was being confronted
The debt collectors' video was fronted by a man, whose moniker is Justice Boy, who initially did not reveal who they were visiting.

But he did tease the possibility that it was a known personality.

In the introduction of the video, Justice Boy said: "Today we have a very big enforcement lah ok, it's against this guy ok... You all do not be shocked about who the debtor is. Today we are going to do a visit to his office."

"And we will demand the payment from him. It is not a big amount but it is a matter of principles. And this guy, I believe you all will know who is it."

SDCS previously caused a sensation when they showed up at Jewel Changi in April 2021 to seek repayment from Naiise.

Heading up to Lim's office, Justice Boy said: "We have all the black and white documents with us."

"The amount is around four thousand over dollars."

"This individual everybody will definitely know."

"You all will be shocked."

The confrontation
At around the 7-minute 40-second mark of the live video, the debt collectors showed up at Lim's office.

Lim greeted the debt collectors at the door.

He said in a booming voice: "Very good afternoon to you."

The conversation promptly turned sour when he was told to pay the money owed on the spot and there is a court order against him.

Lim appeared to have been caught off-guard by the team's visit.


Lim then waved the debt collectors off and both parties proceeded to talk past each other.

But Lim could be seen walking away from the group, after reiterating that he will not pay up and that he would settle the issue with the other party.

Debt collector rebuts Lim
This resulted in one of the debt collectors to confront Lim.

Lim retorted: "I don't want to entertain you."

The debt collector responded: "You provide service for the public, we also provide service for the public. What's the difference?"

Lim was not seen in the video again after this point.

Another man, believed to be an employee in the law firm, took over negotiations.

Entered office
Subsequently, the debt collectors were asked to go into the office as the group's presence was evident while standing out at the corridor.

In the office, the debt collectors showed the court order document to the camera.

Justice Boy then remarked about this case: "Everything is all documented, we have black and white. Imagine lah, just a judgement order against you when you are working in the court. It's very funny."

Justice Boy also said that his team had been to two other addresses where Lim supposedly resided at, but they were rental places.

The debt collector claimed Lim had moved before they could get to him.

Justice Boy also appeared unperturbed that the law firm employee could make a police report.

He said: "I don't know what they are doing, maybe they want to call the police, but it's ok, we're legal, we're not doing anything wrong."

Cheque made out
By the end of the video some 10 minutes later, a cheque was made out and handed over to the debt collectors.

When the debt collectors talked about how they would return to the office if the cash cheque bounced, the law employee interrupted and said: "It will never bounce."

Here is a breakdown of the highlights of the video.

Justice Boy continues to front the video, explaining that his client is owed some S$4,905.

The debt collectors proceed to Lim's ofice.

"We have a court order against him, now we're going to demand the payment."

7 minutes 40 seconds

Debt collectors arrive at the office.

Debt collector: "We're looking for Mr Lim."

Lim Tean: "Very good afternoon to you."

Debt collector: "This is the court order against you, you need to pay the money."

"Four nine zero five point one two."

Lim Tean: "No, I can't (unintelligible)"

"Yes, I am aware. I know, I know."

"You leave it to me I will settle it."

"I don't like you and your tone of voice here."


Debt collector: "Do not touch any belongings of ours."

Lim Tean: "I will like you to leave."

Debt collector: "Do you want me to call the police?"

Debt collector: "You talk for the people, now we also talk for our people."

"I will settle with the company directly."

A law firm employee tried to shush the debt collectors

"I don't know what they are doing, maybe they want to call the police, but it's ok, we're legal, we're not doing anything wrong."

14 minutes 23 seconds

Debt collector: "We want a dated cheque, we don't want a cash cheque, boss."

Law firm employee: "It will never bounce."

Oppie Lim Tean is unreliable. I wouldn't trust him to run a lemonade stall, let alone my town council. He's full of hot air but unreliable. Lim Tean is unable to settle his debt of around $5000 promptly, and will only pay up when hounded by debt collectors.

Oppies get what they deserve when they place their trust in other oppies.

Try fighting in a boxing ring with ur legs tied together.
I agree it is unfair. Very bad.

But the fact is, if I had to put a bet on a fighter to win for me I would not choose the one with his legs tied together whether or not it is fair or not.

PRC is using the Singapore model to make new Hong Kong now. Opposition either arrested or make a loser in life. One ruling party with so call Election happening pre selection candidates. District is group of GRC way. Even PRC love Singapore way. So what you expect from a Singapore opposition lawyer? His hands surely tied.
