SINGAPORE - Two men were sentenced to jail terms on Wednesday for separate molestation offences.

Taxi driver Png Xun Liao, 64 - formerly known as Sunny Png Soon Lai - fought two charges during an eight-day trial, but was convicted and received seven months in prison. On two different occasions in July 2012, Png touched his 20-year-old neighbour on the ground floor of two different Housing Board blocks along Yishun Ring Road.

The court ordered that Png should start his sentence on Sept 8 after he asked for time to get medication from a doctor.

Meanwhile Francis Anthiraya, 49, was jailed for a year after touching a 46-year-old woman's stomach on a bus travelling along Benoi Sector in July.
