Majority held the judge acted within sentencing discretion: the appellant's prolonged absconding rendered his guilty plea untimely so a reduced discount (about 22%) was appropriate and the separate 4-month sentence for failing to surrender could properly be ordered consecutive; the aggregate sentence (32 months and HK$2,000 compensation) was not manifestly excessive and the appeal was dismissed.
