The contraband items that were seized
Two Chinese Malaysians were
imposed a $1,000 fine each or 2 months prison in default after
pleading guilty to smuggling contraband items twice into the
country, yesterday.
Voon Pit Wu, 36, and Voon Ka
Wei, 23, were stopped by Customs Preventive Officers at the
incoming bay of the Kuala Lurah Control Post.
They were found to have
conveyed 24 cans of Tiger beer, a bottle of white wine and 4
packets of Danish chicken wings on February 5.
They were also detained for
smuggling 24 cans of Tiger beer and 1 bottle of white wine in
the same car on January 31, 2003.
Investigations revealed that
half of the beer, the chicken wings and the bottle of wine
belonged to Voon Pit Wu while the remaining items belonged to
Voon Ka Wei.
They both admitted to importing
the items illegally on both February 5 and January 31 from
Limbang for their own consumption.
The contrabands were forfeited
to the state.
