That was when he decided to forge the seal by the LTA for his PABs.
Chen has searched online for dealers regarding such matters and found one from an e-commerce site that is able to forge the seals. He had then fixed the seals on the 38 PABs and sold them for $1,200 each.
He was sentenced to a 13 weeks jail term on Feb 23.
