26-5-2023 (Singapore) Kim Lim, the daughter of Singaporean billionaire Peter Lim, was seen at the State Courts where her ex-husband, Kho Bin Kai, surrendered himself to face imprisonment for illegal gambling and other major offences. Kho was sentenced to two years and ten months in jail time and a $40,000 fine in early May after pleading guilty to three charges under the Remote Gambling Act and two offences for dealing with the benefits of criminal conduct.
The ex-couple arrived at court accompanied by security and a group of friends. They had lunch at the cafeteria before Kho surrendered himself to begin his sentence. The Straits Times approached Kim Lim and learned that she was sending her ex-husband off to jail. Kim Lim and friends said their goodbyes to Kho, who remained expressionless throughout the proceedings.
According to a source, Kim Lim and Kho’s divorce was a “mutual decision” as the ex-couple wanted to live their lives differently. Kim Lim’s appearance in court was seen as a show of support and encouragement for Kho, whom she still considers part of her family.
“They have always remained good friends and love each other like family. They also work together to provide the best co-parenting,” said the unnamed source.
