Last Thursday, a magistrate’s court in Kuala Lumpur found P Naveendran, 39, guilty of outraging the modesty of a 22-year-old woman after their cars collided along the Federal Highway. He grabbed her at the hips and a shoulder while they were engaged in conversation. The magistrate, in deciding on a fine, said Naveendran did not touch any sensitive part of the woman’s body and this was his first offence.

She said there was a need for intervention programmes for offenders to bring about an understanding of accountability and a change in behaviour.
