Given the substantial quantity of drugs, presence of trafficking paraphernalia, the probation report undermining genuine remorse, prior convictions and failure of prior detention treatment, the non‑custodial Drug Addiction Treatment Centre order was manifestly inadequate; the Court set aside that order and imposed immediate imprisonment of 3 years, applying CHAN Chi-ming tariff as the starting point but moderating on review.
