the best protection against all these funny things is anonymity.
Guard your privacy. Fame comes at a cost.
The next interesting question is whether both of them will get death penalty.
Since this involves Singapore's reputation as a safe haven for rich and famous, I think these two guys will probably be hanged.
Singapore is so small. You really need a very good plan to execute a successful kidnap and getting away with $$$.
Kidnapping = death penalty
And they attempted on such high profile ppl, everyone is watching.....
why was the elderly lady released? the kidnappers felt conscience bitting them?

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.
Not long ago, riot and now kidnap. Singapore's getting headlines for the wrong reasons.
One off? or is there strong under currents beneath the surface?
