The High Court allowed the prosecution's appeal and enhanced the sentence for Section 377C to 14 years imprisonment and four strokes of whipping, finding the Sessions Court's 10-year term manifestly inadequate and its reliance on Ch'ng Lian Eng misplaced; the court held the offences were distinct and ordered the sentences for the first and second offences to run consecutively while the third runs concurrently with the first.
