A RENOVATION contractor was sentenced to 12 months' jail on Monday for paying $100 to an underaged prostitute for sex.
Tan Chye Hin, 55, pleaded guilty to getting the services of the 16-year-old China prostitute in a Geylang hotel on Aug 4.
The father of three is appealing against the sentence. His $12,000 bail was upped by another $6,000.
Last month, the pimp who abetted him in the offence, Wang Minjiang, 36, was similarly jailed 12 months by the High Court after the prosecution appealed against his original fine of $8,000.
Both Wang and his nephew, Wang Youyi, 31, had been fined for offences under the Women's Charter.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Karen Ang Aiping had sought at least 12 months' jail for Tan.
It was clear, she said, that the primary reason for introducing new laws in the Penal Code was to afford protection to a group of minors aged below 18 from sexual exploitation.

This story reminded me of the infamous episode involving a 16 year old Malay girl and a certain UMNO warlord. This is the episode that lead to Guan Eng getting ISAed for trying to defend the girl and famil. Of course, the issue is forgotten and nobody got charged. Read thru the court case and you will find extreme details ( bought the girl phone cards and some fruits) and the effectiveness of the court system there. Even the photo of the chap is there.
Rape cases is up. Most of the rapist are close to the family. The court is overstretch & no sign of improving. Rempit shares girlfriends, people are turning to younger prostitutes. Politicians and rich people can try exotic girls ( Mongolians?) and Malaysia is the top women trafficking country in the world. Police are busy trying to protect 'minors' from being exploited in bicycle campaigns.
Would that happen in Malaysia that minors are protected?
At least i know that in 'boring' Singapore's coffee shop, you can get different type of entertainment. hehe.

screw them lar......all talk but no action. for me, all those hooker patrons should be punished, they should be whipped as well.
i remember once my customer invited me to follow him to china for a "good" time. he said there is a helicopter style of sex in some part of china. i told him off on the spot and he never did call me again. luckily he was not a vip customer, otherwise.... :)
You are right. it is hard to distinguish the stories. Yet, the law of protection should be there to allow the process of determination.
I do wonder what is helicopter style like..
o.O wud is helicopter style?
I have to agree with Calvin, the one who patronize the pros should also be punished too. Things should work both ways, no?
