Appeal allowed: where an unlawfully obtained travel document was provided at the transit lounge and not used to enter or leave Hong Kong, and where the offender is a 17‑year‑old with a clear record and mitigating factors, an 18‑month cumulative custodial sentence was manifestly excessive; the appropriate sentence is reduced to concurrent terms totaling 7 months imprisonment.
