    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA317/2024

    The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the training centre order because the sentence was neither manifestly excessive nor legally erroneous given the seriousness of handling proceeds from a phone‑scam targeting an elderly victim, the appellant's repeated reoffending (including offences while on bail and disciplinary breaches in custody), lack of remorse, and the greater rehabilitative utility of a longer training centre order for this juvenile offender.
