SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A Singapore judge reduced the sentence of a policeman charged with receiving oral sex after his case provoked a storm of protest, but he told the court that such a sex act did not conform to Asian values.

Police coast guard sergeant Annis Abdullah's sentence was halved to a year in jail after the 27-year-old received consensual oral sex from a teenage girl in April.

"In the Asian culture, certain offences are still not talked about though in some cultures you can go sucking away, and some important people had gotten away with it," 77-year-old Chief Justice Yong Pung How was quoted by state media as telling the court at Tuesday's sentencing.

1. What's the age of consent?

in this country there's no such thing as consensual sex w/ someone who is not legally old enough to give consent.

2. Singapore is ahead of the curve on this one

It won't be until 2007, midway through the second Bush term that this will be the law here. John Ashcroft may not be able to wait that long.
