He will have to serve a jail term of three months if he fails to pay the fine.
The offence was committed at a house in Bandar Sri Damansara and he was arrested on Feb 23.
He was charged under Section 379 of the Penal Code for committing theft and could have been jailed for up to seven years, fined, or both.
Liew was unrepresented and pleaded for leniency as he only earned around RM1,000 per month.
He said he also had to support his grandfather.
Deputy public prosecutor Siti Maryam Jamilah Kamal requested for an appropriate punishment to ensure Liew would not commit the offence again.
“I urge the court to also take into account the facts of the case, where the act of the accused kissing the underwear may point towards Liew committing a sexual offence in the future,” she said.

如果他不支付罰款,他將不得不服刑三個月。
該罪行是在 Bandar Sri Damansara 的一所房子裡犯下的,他於 2 月 23 日被捕。
他被控在刑事法典第 379 條文下盜竊,可能被判坐牢長達 7 年、罰款,或兩者兼施。
Liew 沒有代理人,他請求寬大處理,因為他每月只賺取約 1,000 令吉。
他說他還得供養他的祖父。
副檢察官茜蒂瑪麗安查米拉卡瑪要求給予適當的懲罰,以確保劉不會再次犯罪。
她說:“我敦促法庭也考慮案件的事實,即被告人親吻內衣的行為可能預示著 Liew 日後會實施性犯罪。” |
