According to a local Malaysian news source, a Pakistani tourist, Muhammad Hash Ghous, was handed a 3,000 Malaysian ringgit fine today by a Magistrate's court (equivalent to roughly Rs 70,000), after he pleaded guilty to having molested a woman last week.

The 46-year-old tourist was handed down the sentence by Magistrate Zuhair Rasool for having "clutched the shoulders of a 28-year-old woman with intent to outrage her modesty."

Ghous, who is a father of nine, committed the act in front of an elevator in Menara Kuala Lampur at 9:45pm on March 27.

This is not the first time a Pakistani man has been found guilty of molestation in a foreign country.

Earlier in 2015, it was reported that a 35-year-old Pakistani man had been jailed for molesting a Malaysian tourist in Dubai.
