A MALAYSIAN was given the minimum two years' jail on Thursday for housebreaking and theft of a cash register containing $2.

Ansar Anwar, 24, pleaded guilty to breaking into Sakae Sushi at Parco Bugis Junction and stealing the cash on June 28, 2011.

He used to work there as a cleaner from 2007 to 2009.

He arrived in Singapore two days earlier to look for a job and to borrow money from a friend.

When he could not find a job or locate his friend, he decided to break into the restaurant by forcing open the back door.

He could have been jailed for up to 14 years.
