While looking for David's case in the States Times today(his
case was supposed to be mentioned yesterday), I found this
instead.

leader gets jail, cane for molest
THREE days after he molested his young Indonesian maid, National
Environment Agency supervisor Lee Song Koi, 46, cancelled her work
permit and tried to send her home.
His wife then took the 21-year-old domestic help to the airport
but the cops, acting on a frantic call from the maid's cousin,
intercepted and stopped the maid from taking her flight home at
Terminal 2.
Lee, a secretary of the Punggol Angsana Residents' Committee,
was sentenced to 10 months' jail and three strokes of the cane on
Tuesday for molest.
He is appealing against his sentence and has been granted bail
of $15,000.
Lee, admitted earlier to lying on top of the maid and kissing
her all over at his flat on July 7 last year.
The court heard that the domestic help was sleeping in her
bedroom when she was awakened by Lee forcing himself on her and
kissing her on the face.
<!-- show media links starting at 7th para --> He lifted
her T-shirt and brassiere to her neck level while the victim
struggled and told him to stop.
He ignored her and continued molesting her. He also told her not
to tell anyone before leaving the room.
Three days later following a 999 call about the molestation,
airport police were alerted and managed to find the victim with
Lee's wife at Terminal 2, Changi Airport.
Two other charges of hugging the victim the same day were taken
into consideration.
Mr Subhas Anandan said his client, who has two children, had
paid $5,000 as compensation to the victim.
Lee had returned from a dinner and dance when he committed the
offence.
He could have been jailed for up to three years or fined or
caned or received any two such punishments for the offence.
