SINGAPORE — A man and his wife were sound asleep in the wee hours of Oct 30 in 2019 when they were awoken by a noise coming from one of the bathrooms in their ground-floor condominium apartment.

Concerned, the man went to investigate and found its door locked. He heard someone inside scrambling out of the window and he then called the police.

A mandatory treatment order is a community sentencing option offered to offenders suffering from mental conditions that contributed to the offence. It was at this point that the unit's owners were awoken by the intrusion, but by the time the man got to the toilet door, Lim had already climbed back out.

Knowing that he had been discovered, Lim made his escape through the same window he entered and headed back home.
