SINGAPORE: A Singaporean man who underwent sex change surgery before being convicted on drugs charges escaped caning after a court recognised the change in gender, local media reported Tuesday.
Preeta Nivashani M Rechnam, 40, was jailed on Monday for seven years and three months for a second drugs offence but she escaped caning as Singapore law dictates that women, and men over the age of 50, cannot undergo the punishment.
