Ransom was reportedly paid. But I think there is more than meets the eye.
I suspect the people involved may know Mr Lim and his family and it is not a random targeting of a rich man.

It was reported that one of the kidnappers is a temp worker in SS.

Who doesn't like to take the easiest solution to a problem, if there is no repercussion? Or the repercussion to the solution chosen is chicken compare to other solutions? No repercussion, i doubt?

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

Singapore neo-British legal system, though not perfect and pro establishment, is not silly or senseless

It just destroy the poster's credibility rather than the govt

But all these events that had not been happening in past 20 years from flood to riot, will have a serious cascading negative perception

Surprised that both are local. My first thought is that they are foreigners. Given that locals will know the consequences of kidnapping. How wrong of me......

When someone is desperate , they lose their mind. These 2 are baby kidnappers compared to those in the past.

Oldies like us can remember Oh Kim Kee, Morgan, Lim Ban Lim, etc.. (Lim was reputed to be am·bi·dex·trous and master of masquerade).

When the detectives shot and killed him in the shoot-out, they were not sure who he was according to the news. i think more than 1 detective
had been killed by LBL in the past encounters before he was killed.

In those days the top gangsters were ready to shoot out with the police. No surrender. i think they had made up their mind long before they had chosen this route. One word - Desperadoes usually have made up their mind long ago.
