A CHINESE national was charged on Friday with molesting a Vietnamese girl in a lift at Haig Road.

No plea was taken from Li Yan, 20.

He allegedly touched the 18-year-old's breasts while grabbing and hugging her on Thursday.

He was remanded for a week for investigation as he is believed to be involved in similar cases.

He will appear in court on July 8.

If convicted, he faces a jail term of three to 10 years and caning.

A CHINESE national who molested an 18-year-old Vietnamese girl on holiday here was sentenced to four years' jail and six strokes of the cane on Friday.

Li Yan, 20, a dishwasher, admitted to causing wrongful restraint to the victim during the molestation at Haig Road on June 30.

A district court heard that the victim was returning to her sister's block in the early hours when Li followed her into the lift and said he wanted to have sex with her.

She ignored his advances and said she would call the police.
