On Thursday (June 20), Tan Jun Hao, a 31-year-old Malaysian, was fined S$1,200 after he pleaded guilty to using criminal force on one of the women. He followed a 26-year-old woman as she was going up an escalator from Nicoll Highway MRT station at around 8.30pm on April 9. He then squirted the mixture, which he had earlier mixed in a small plastic bottle, on her dress as she was walking along a nearby overhead bridge. “He had also prepared red dye at home, which he intended to mix into the liquid,” said the prosecutor. Court documents did not state how the authorities managed to track Tan down before he was caught.
