The Magistrate’s Court yesterday sentenced a Malaysian man to three months’ imprisonment and three strokes of the cane, for illegal entry.

Rozain bin Awang, 31, was arrested on the afternoon of August 25, in the vicinity of Kampong Labu Estate in the Temburong District, after failing to produce his travel documents at the Labu Control Post.

Investigations showed that he had never possessed a passport, and had entered Brunei illegally on a bicycle to look for employment.

Immigration prosecutor Adi Yusra bin Haji Adanan prosecuted the case, which was presided over by Magistrate Dewi Norlelawati binti Haji Abdul Hamid.
