A MALAYSIAN forklift operator was jailed for 12 months on Tuesday after he was found guilty of molesting two women in November 2010.

Aziz Oman, 27, was convicted of molesting a 19-year-old and a 20-year-old while jogging past them along Pearl Bank and Chin Swee Road on Nov 6 and 8 respectively.

The teen was walking home from Outram Park MRT Station when he touched her private part between 9.30pm and 10pm on Nov 6.

The 20-year-old student testified that she was about to cross Chin Swee Road when Aziz crossed over to her side from the opposite direction and touched her breast.

Both witnesses said Aziz was wearing a black T-shirt and shorts at the time. The younger victim also noticed his white shoes and hair band.

Aziz, who was not represented, denied the molestation. He said he was gay and did not like women and could not have committed the acts in the charges. He could have been jailed for up to two years, fined, caned or received any combination of such punishments.
