A student at a top UK university has pleaded guilty and has been sentenced to jail and a fine.
Chua is jailed for 1 year and fined SGD$2,500.
According to Today News, His defence lawyer stated that: “He has a good future ahead of him. He has got the propensity and interest to further his studies. He may still yet be able to contribute to the community at large when he grows older.”
This reminds us of the previous case of Terence Siow Kai Yuan.
Background:
