00:00A recycling company manager was fined 30,000 ringgit by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on Friday after he pleaded guilty to three charges of conspiring with his brother to use fake invoices to apply for import permits for plastic waste three years ago.
00:18Judge Azura Alwi imposed the fine on 33-year-old Chung Wilson and ordered a seven-month jail term if he fails to pay.
00:28According to the charges, the father of two conspired with 26-year-old Chung Weiji to use three fake invoices as supporting documents for AP applications through the Dagang Net system at the National Solid Waste Management Department in Putrajaya in February 2022.
00:47It is learned that Chung helped another recycling company owned by a friend to apply for APs using fake invoices to import four containers of plastic waste from Canada, although the company was only approved to import plastic waste from the United States, Japan, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.
01:06He instructed Wei Ji to submit the AP applications using the fake invoices under a trade owner registered in the name of their other sibling, Chung Hui Ning.
01:17During sentencing, Chung, who was unrepresented, appealed for a lighter fine citing his monthly income of 8,000 ringgit, responsibility for two young children and that it was his first offence.
01:29Deputy Public Prosecutor Hazel Tanjachi urged the court to impose a deterrent sentence.
