Recycling manager fined RM30k for fake invoices in plastic waste import
KUALA LUMPUR: A recycling company manager was fined RM30,000 by the Sessions Court today after pleading guilty to three charges of conspiring with his brother to use fake invoices to apply for Import Permits (AP) for plastic waste three years ago. Judge Azura Alwi imposed the fine on 33-year-old Ch'ng Wilson and ordered a seven-month jail term if he fails to pay. According to the charges, the father of two conspired with 26-year-old Ch'ng Wei Jie to use three fake invoices as supporting documents for AP applications through the Dagang Net system at the National Solid Waste Management Department in Putrajaya on Feb 7, 2022. The charges were made under Section 109 of the Penal Code read with Sections 471 and 465, which carry a maximum penalty of two years' imprisonment, a fine, or both. Case facts showed that Ch'ng helped another recycling company owned by a friend to apply for APs using fake invoices to import four containers of plastic waste from Canada, although the company was only approved to import plastic waste from the United States, Japan, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. He instructed Wei Jie to submit the AP applications using the fake invoices under a trade owner registered in the name of their other sibling Ch'ng Huey Ning. During sentencing, Wilson, unrepresented, appealed for a lighter fine, citing his monthly income of RM8,000, responsibility for two young children and that it was his first offence. Deputy Public Prosecutor Hazel Tan Jia Qi urged the court to impose a deterrent sentence. 'If the court opts for a fine, I request a total fine of RM30,000 for all charges considering the accused's guilty plea and the savings in time and costs for all parties,' she said. - Bernama

Manager fined RM30k for falsifying plastic waste import paperwork
KUALA LUMPUR: A recycling company manager was today fined RM30,000 by the Sessions Court after pleading guilty to conspiring with his brother to falsify invoices in order to import plastic waste from Canada without the necessary permits. Ch'ng Wilson, 33, entered his guilty plea before Judge Azura Alwi, who imposed a fine of RM10,000 for each of the three charges, in default of seven months' imprisonment per charge. According to the charge sheet, Ch'ng, a father of two, conspired with his 26-year-old brother, a staff member at the same company, to falsify three invoices used to support an import licence permit application uploaded to the Dagang Net system. The offences were committed at the National Solid Waste Management Department in Putrajaya on Feb 7, 2022. The charges were framed under Section 109 of the Penal Code, read together with Sections 471 and 465, which carry a maximum penalty of two years' imprisonment, a fine, or both upon conviction. Facts of the case revealed that Ch'ng and his brother falsified the invoices to assist a friend's company in importing four containers of plastic waste, allegedly from Hong Kong, in July 2021. However, investigations later confirmed that the containers had originated from Canada and did not have the required permits. They were subsequently seized by Customs at Pasir Gudang Port in Johor. Ch'ng was found to have breached the terms of his company's licence, which only authorised imports of plastic waste from the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. Unrepresented, Ch'ng pleaded for leniency in mitigation, expressing remorse for his actions. "This is my first offence, and I hope the court will consider a light sentence. I am a divorcee and the sole provider for my two children, who are both in kindergarten," he told the court. Deputy public prosecutor Hazel Tan Jia Qi, however, urged the court to impose a fine of RM10,000 for each charge in view of the seriousness of the offence.
