SINGAPORE - The prosecution has asked for Traffic Police (TP) inspector Mohd Taufik Abu Bakar, who molested four male subordinates, to be jailed for at least two years and eight months.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Amanda Chong stressed that he had abused his authority when he molested the men. They were then serving their national service as special constables.

On Thursday (June 21), defence counsel Gino Hardial Singh told District Judge Jasvender Kaur that Taufik has several health problems, including minor coronary artery disease and Type 2 diabetes.

In asking for a lighter sentence, including a fine, the lawyer added: "This is Taufik's first brush with the law. Prior to this, he served his country for 31 years as a decorated police officer. As a result of his conviction, he has lost his pension."

In February, Judge Kaur found Taufik guilty of six outrage of modesty charges involving the four victims. Taufik, who was acquitted of one molestation charge involving a fifth special constable, was convicted following a six-day trial.

For two of the molestation charges, Mr Singh urged the judge to sentence his client to a maximum of eight months' jail each. He also asked her to impose a fine for the remaining four charges.

Taufik, now 56, committed the offences between January and September 2015. The married man joined the TP investigation branch in 1998 and became the officer-in-charge of the hit-and-run investigation team five years later. He has been suspended.

On Sept 10, 2015, Taufik approached a 21-year-old special constable to complain about the young officer's body odour and said he had some cream that could remove hair from his armpits and groin.

Two days later, he invited the young man to his flat and said he would teach him how to use the products.

Two days later, he invited the young man to his flat and said he would teach him how to use the products.

Taufik then molested the man while applying the cream.

The special constable testified that he felt like "the whole world collapsed on him, so all he did was comply".

What does it mean by "all he did was comply"? So this constable just stood there and enjoyed the handjob provided by his inspector...
