Police Reiterate Zero Tolerance For Sexual Offences

The offence of uttering words or making gestures intended to insult the modesty of another person is punishable by up to one year in jail, a fine, or both.
The Singapore Police Force stressed that it maintains zero tolerance towards sexual offenders and will continue taking firm action against those who threaten the safety of the community.
Members of the public are advised to move away from the alleged offender if it is safe to do so, call the police immediately, and try to remember details such as the suspect’s appearance, clothing, location and direction of travel. Police added that prompt reporting can help officers identify suspects quickly and prevent further offences.
