Liu Kuei Liang was sentenced to 12 weeks’ jail after pleading guilty to two counts of forgery. He is appealing against his sentence.In debt from buying flower garlands for singers at “diao hua” clubs, or Thai discos, a 33-year-old man forged his mother’s signature to sell her two cars.
On March 22, Liu was sentenced to 12 weeks’ jail after pleading guilty to two counts of forgery. He is appealing against his sentence. When another Autoart representative asked Liu for his mother’s phone number, Liu gave the employee the phone number of his friend, Lala, who is based in Taiwan. Seeking a jail term of four to six months for Liu, Deputy Public Prosecutor Vishnu Menon argued that the custodial threshold was crossed as the value of the cars involved in Liu’s forgery offences was high.
In response, the DPP said restitution was made by Liu’s mother and not by Liu, adding that a fine is not appropriate in this case as there is nothing to stop Liu’s mother from paying the fine on her son’s behalf.
