[TD="class: msgtxt"] Singapore justice at work. A cleaner who stole $2 gets 2 years jail while a runaway serial rapist gets only 4 years for terrorizing a 16 year old young girl. So the message from the courts is that instead of stealing $2 go molest someone.

Alone, lost and naked, a 16-year-old who was molested sought help for over an hour before being rescued by a taxi driver.
The girl's terrifying ordeal, which took place 15 years ago, was revealed in court after her molester, 58-year-old Tan Leng Hwa pled guilty to his crime on Tuesday.
He said that in 1996, he took the 16-year-old girl to meet his friends but instead drove her to a forested area along Mandai Road, reported The Straits Times .
After they reached the area, Tan asked the girl to be his girlfriend but she rejected his proposal. He then snatched her spectacles, took off her clothes and groped her. Naked and unable to see clearly, the girl managed to flee into the bushes, the paper reported.
The girl hid in the forested area totally naked and came out only when Tan drove off. Unable to find her clothes, the girl covered herself with pieces of discarded newspaper and ran to the main road to flag cars for help.
Later, she sought help at a gate of a nearby army camp but the gate was unmanned. The girl managed to get help from a taxi driver more than an hour later.
Tan turned himself in 16 days later and was charged in court in March 1997. He skipped bail two months later and went into hiding, the paper said.
He was arrested in January 2010 in Malaysia after participating in a kidnapping incident with three other Malaysians. He was later extradited to Singapore in July 2011 where he was charged for other offences.
Tan was sentenced to four years' jail for molest and two months for going into hiding
[h=2] Singapore | Jailed 2 years for stealing S$2 [/h] todayonline.com <ABBR class="my_special_datetime msd_format_datetime" title="Thu, 04 Aug 2011 04:17:02 GMT">3 Aug '11, 9pm</ABBR>
[h=3]Slapped with 2 years' jail for stealing S$2[/h]SINGAPORE - A cleaner will be spending two years behind bars after breaking into his former workplace to steal a cash register that contained only S$2. This is the minimum sentence for his housebreaking offence. Ansar Anwar broke into a Sakae Sushi outlet at Parco Bugis Junction shopping mall by forcing open a rear door at around 6am on June 28. Assistant Public Prosecutor Raja Mohan said that he left the premises after taking the cash register. Ansar, a Malaysian, then broke it open with a screwdriver - only to find that it contained just S$2. The court heard that he threw away the cash register and used the money to take a bus to Johor Bahru. But he returned to Singapore four days later and was arrested at the Woodlands Checkpoint.
