A doctor jailed for indecently assaulting his patients faces further consequences for his crimes - deportation. David Kang Huat Lim (42) who is a New Zealand resident, has been assessed by Immigration NZ as an individual liable for deportation because of his offending. Yesterday an Immigration New Zealand spokesman said any deportation decision would be made "before the end of his prison sentence". With no family in New Zealand, it was noted by his defence lawyer, Harry Waalkens, QC, during sentencing last week that Lim was "certainly at risk of deportation". "He has loved his life in New Zealand and enjoyed his time here and very much wants to stay here."
