A FORMER cabby who used a camera pen to take upskirt videos of his female passengers was jailed for six months on Friday.
Albert Lim Meng Hie, 54, now unemployed, had admitted to three counts of insulting the modesty of a 21-year-old student and two unknown women in his taxi in 2009. Two other similar charges were considered during his sentencing.
The court heard that the young undergraduate was taking Lim's cab on June 30, 2009 when she saw him fidgeting with some objects at the arm-rest area next to him.
Subsequently, she saw a pen placed vertically and recognised it to be a camera pen as she had seen the device on a Chinese e-commerce website www.alibaba.com She discreetly took photographs of the camera pen and later reported it to the police.
The camera pen was seized from Lim's condominium in Pasir Ris. Five upskirt video clips were found stored on it by officers from the technology crime forensic branch of the Criminal Investigation Department.
Last month, sales manager Soo Ee Hock, 35, was sentenced to nine months jail for being the first 'camera-pen voyeur'. Lim, who is married with three children, could have been jailed for up to one year or fined or with both on each charge.
