SINGAPORE — Testifying in court on Monday (July 22), former Singapore Idol judge Ken Lim Chih Chiang called the allegations levelled against him by one of five women “more absurd than believable”.

He also said that he was an “established music executive” who would not risk leaving the fate of his reputation in the hands of the woman who was 26 or 27 years old at the time and “who cannot differentiate between having a future and having none”. He took the stand on Monday as the first of three witnesses called upon by the defence, which is led by Senior Counsel Tan Chee Meng from law firm Wong Partnership.
The defence lawyer called the woman a “copycat” and “liar”, whose complaint of Lim’s indecent remarks was “contrived” and “uncannily similar” to those in the newspaper report that had led her to file the police report. Calling the accusations “blatant lies”, Lim said that these were “even more bizarre” in light of the close relationship between her parents and his good friend who had first introduced the woman to Lim.
