SINGAPORE, May 6 — Unable to pay for sexual services, a father of seven children turned to printing fake dollar notes to help him offset the cost.
Working as a bus driver at the time, he was intending to engage a 24-year-old social escort from the Philippines for sexual services that night, but he was unable to afford it. The front office manager of the hotel “strongly suspected” that the notes were fake and told the woman to wait at the lobby, DPP Lee said.On January 4 this year, at around 1.40am, Feroz tried to flee to Malaysia to avoid prosecution.
By hiding himself in a small space behind the bus engine, Feroz was able to cross the border at the Tuas Checkpoint without being detected. The judge noted that Feroz had similarly submitted a written mitigation letter that also stated that he had a mother who was unwell and a wife who was not working.
