5 months' jail for man who molested 2 women

He molested a 21-year-old woman on a bus last year. While out on police bail, he did it again, to a teen on a bus.

Yesterday, Ng Tian Yuan, 32, who is unemployed, was sentenced to five months' jail.

The court noted that Ng was a repeat offender - who had served 12 weeks' jail for the same offence in 2010 - and stressed the need for women to be able to travel without fear of being molested.

He could have been jailed up to two years, fined or caned, or given a mix of such penalties.
