When two of Lim's criminal cases came up for mention in the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur today, deputy public prosecutor Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin informed the judge:"I wish to inform that this morning, the accused has been served with a notice to notify him that there will be charges in Butterworth on September 11, under Section 403 — two charges."

Gobind, however, clarified that Lim's legal team has yet to decide if they will object to Lim's new case this Friday being shifted to be heard in Kuala Lumpur:"But only for the record, I only wish to say whether the defence will object to the transfer of the case from Butterworth to Kuala Lumpur, that will be decided on Friday because we haven't seen the charges. Just for the record, so there's clarity.

For the August 7 charge, Lim was charged under Section 16 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act Act 2009 — which covers the offence of soliciting, or receiving, or agreeing to receive for himself or anyone else, any gratification as an inducement or a reward. The penalties for this offence upon conviction are a maximum 20 years' jail and a fine not less than five times the value of the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher.
