Fine for manager who touched subordinate's thigh, claimed he wanted to show her work attire policy

SINGAPORE — Claiming that he wanted to show the company's work attire policy to a female subordinate who wore ripped jeans to work, a general manager touched her on the thigh twice.A 55-year-old manager noticed that an employee was wearing ripped jeans in the office

Four other charges, including two for molest, one for insulting the modesty of a woman and another under the Protection from Harassment act , were taken into consideration for sentencing. Deputy Public Prosecutor Thiagesh Sukumaran told the court that the man then touched a part of her thigh that was exposed by her ripped jeans without her consent, before returning to his office.

However, he sought the maximum fine given that the man was the woman’s superior at work, and such workplace offences are difficult to detect as victims often hesitant to report such conduct out of concerns over impact to their employment.
