KUALA LUMPUR: An Indonesian worker who forcibly kissed a Cambodian woman was jailed a year by a magistrate Thursday.
Usman, 25, who goes by a single name, was ordered by magistrate Nurulizwan Ahmad Zubir to serve the sentence from the day of his arrest on Sept 29.
The labourer had earlier pleaded guilty to committing the offence at the women's toilet at the lower ground floor of The Gardens, Mid Valley City, on the day of his arrest at about 6.45pm.
According to the facts of the case, he pulled the 25-year-old woman into the toilet before hugging her and repeatedly kissing her all over her face.
The woman, who worked as a cleaner at the mall, cried out for help and alerting a security guard.
Usman managed to escape but later that day, other security guards caught him and handed him over to the police.
In mitigation, the labourer offered “1,000 apologies,” saying he had “made a mistake which I won't ever do again.”
Prosecuting officer C/Insp Muhammad Mohd Jais pressed for a deterrent sentence, pointing out that the accused, instead of focusing his attention on work here in Malaysia, had committed a serious offence.
