J U D G M E N T
1. This was an appeal against a total sentence of 18 months imposed for being in Hong Kong illegally and possession of a forged Vietnamese Refugee Card. The sentences were 15 months and three months and were ordered to be served consecutively. The sentences were perfectly proper and fell within the normal range of sentences for offences of this nature. However, as an act of mercy, I ordered that the sentences be served concurrently.
