The High Court found no error in the magistrate's factual finding that the appellant's admissions were given voluntarily and were accurately recorded; those admissions, when combined with PW1's evidence that the appellant made a claim at the shopping mall on 8 October and the magistrate's specific finding that the appellant did speak to PW1 on that date, were sufficient to prove the offence of claiming to be a member of a triad society on 8 October. The date was not a material averment in the circumstances and the conviction was therefore safe.
