THE recently replaced commander of the Tanglin Police Division, Superintendent Paul Lim Choon Wui, is being investigated by the police after a waitress at the Shangri-La Hotel alleged that he had molested her.
The alleged incident happened early last month at Shang Palace, a Chinese restaurant in the five-star hotel off Orchard Road.
The 38-year-old bachelor was with a group of about 10 friends in a private room at the restaurant at that time. It is understood that Supt Lim was the only police officer in the group, and the dinner was a private event.
The police are investigating the allegation of outrage of modesty, although they declined to reveal more because of ongoing investigations.
The case is being handled by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), even though molestation cases are usually investigated at division level. The Straits Times understands that the matter has been referred to the Attorney-General's Chambers.
