The appeal is dismissed because the magistrate correctly applied established sentencing principles for false travel document offences (18 months starting point after plea), correctly found the appellant's possession of a Chinese permit and the production of the Malaysian passport did not mitigate the offence, and correctly treated the appellant's production of the passport as not a genuine voluntary surrender; the reductions applied by the magistrate were appropriate and the sentences are confirmed.
