A MAN who used a pocket mirror to peep into a woman's upskirt at a supermarket was fined $2,000 on Wednesday for insulting her modesty.

Ngui June Sien, 40, a logistic supervisor, admitted to the offence at Cold Storage Parkway Parade on Marine Parade Road on Dec 7 last year.

A magistrate's court heard that an officer was on duty at Cold Storage that evening when he noticed Ngui behaving suspiciously behind the woman.

The officer followed Ngui to the tidbits section where he saw Ngui kneel down, take a mirror from his pocket and place it underneath the victim's skirt. Ngui was detained.

Ngui, who is married, said in mitigation that he was a first offender and did not know that the offence was so serious.

He could have been jailed for up to one year or fined or both.
