In answer to an appeal by Annis Abdullah on his 2 year sentence for receiving a blow job Singapore's 77-year-old chief judge Yong Pung How said that despite growing permissiveness in some countries there were "certain offences that are so repulsive in Asian culture".

"There are countries where you can go and suck away for all you are worth," the judge said. "People in high places do it for all they're worth. I'm not an expert, but you read about it in the papers. But this is Asia."

"Times have changed. Women are freer, they don't just run around the kitchen, as it were," he said.

"But ask any mother or your sisters and you'll get a different answer. No lady or woman would ask what aggravation is needed... The offence itself is an aggravation."
