SINGAPORE — A former freelance traditional Malay dance instructor was sentenced to three years and 10 months' jail and six strokes of the cane on Thursday (Jan 27) for molesting two boys under his charge.

The 42-year-old man pleaded guilty to three charges of outrage of modesty, with two more taken into consideration during sentencing.

The court heard that the first victim was a Primary 4 student who was part of the Malay dance co-curricular activity at the time of the offence in 2016. The accused was his dance instructor at that time. The offender sat behind the boy, suddenly wrapped both arms around his waist and molested him for up to 20 seconds. The victim was again shocked and frozen in fear.

A few months later in February 2020, the man molested the same victim again, this time at the back of a chartered bus for about 20 minutes en route to a performance venue. DPP Chong pointed out the brazenness of the offences, with some of the incidents happening in the presence of other students and teachers.
