Section 33(2)(d) of the Public Order Ordinance prescribes mandatory and exclusive sentencing options for offenders over the statutory age; therefore a magistrate lacked power to impose a detention centre order in respect of an offence under section 33 absent a specific legislative provision amending section 33, and the detention centre order was set aside and replaced with concurrent imprisonment sentences.
