Ch'ng was charged under Section 420 of the Penal Code which carries a minimum one-year imprisonment and a maximum 10-year imprisonment with whipping and liable for a fine, upon conviction.Lawyer Manjit Singh, who represented the accused, however, sought a lower amount on the grounds that his client was jobless.
