SINGAPORE: A former magazine editor who was at a birthday party at Mediacorp actor Terence Cao's home was fined S$3,000 on Tuesday (May 18) for ...

Several of his local celebrity guests had turned up unannounced at Cao's home to surprise him, but Lim had knowingly invited more people even though the number of guests had exceeded the legal limit.

Before 9pm, 30-year-old sales manager Tan Jun Chuan arrived at the home and Cao let him in. He had gone there to surprise Cao, and did not know that more guests would arrive later. Between 11pm on Oct 2, 2020 and 12am on Oct 3, 2020, Chew, Xu and Chan turned up at the house and were let in. They did not know there were going to be more than five guests there, and their arrival meant there were 12 guests in total.

"Lance Lim was nonchalant towards the laws enacted to protect Singapore against the global COVID-19 pandemic," said Mr Yew."His conduct belittles the efforts and sacrifices of the vast majority, who have, amongst many things, given up the pleasures of social interaction with family and friends for the public good to contain the spread of COVID-19."

They said Lim was"hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic as he had lost his full-time job as a magazine editor back then".
