BARELY a month after his release from prison, Tan Eng Lee was hauled to court again for filming a woman's upskirt.

The 40-year-old bespectacled man was jailed for 10 weeks on Friday after pleading guilty to insulting the modesty of the 28-year-old shopper at Cold Storage at Parkway Parade shopping mall on June 14.

He used an MP4 player to commit the offence.

A magistrate's court heard that a staff of the supermarket saw him placing his right foot in between the legs and under the skirt of the victim for several minutes.

He detained Tan, who had hidden the MP4 player with camera and video functions on top of his right shoe with shoe laces tied over it.

Tan admitted to having recorded a video footage of the victim's panties.

Tan was jailed for four weeks last month for a similar offence.

Pleading for a light sentence, he said he had wanted to turn over a new leaf after his release from prison but could not control himself.

He said he would seek medical treatment as soon as possible so that he could take care of his parents.

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