Lim Choon Beng had been sentenced to almost 17 years' jail in 2016 for raping a woman three times in public in 2013.
SINGAPORE: A man who was sentenced to almost 17 years' jail in 2016 for raping a woman thrice in public has failed in his attempt to have his imprisonment term cut.
The judicial commissioner who sentenced him to 16 years, 10 months and two weeks' jail and 22 strokes of the cane in 2016 said Lim's"shocking and brazen acts" shattered the idea that one can walk safely on a public road in Singapore at any time of day. Lim made an application this year under the Criminal Procedure Code asking for permission to apply for the Court of Appeal's decision to be reviewed.Lim, who is self-represented, said there was a"gross miscarriage of justice" in the sentence given. He asked for a reduction of almost two years of his sentence, to 15 years' jail.
In his judgment released on Monday , Justice of the Court of Appeal Tay Yong Kwang dismissed Lim's application.
