Jailed 5 years for 31 fake notes

Jailed 5 years for 31 fake notes? Is it worth it? I am reading Star newspaper yesterday and found a news about a guy in JB had been convicted guilt for a possession of 31 pieces of counterfeit RM100 notes. Its not reported if he got the fake notes from the stolen cars but if it does, it is a big mistake in his life. I already advice everyone, If you found a fake Malaysia banknote, report it to the police or you will need to pay criminal attorney later because of a small sum of money.

JOHOR BARU: The Sessions Court here sentenced a 27-year-old man to five years’ imprisonment for possession of 31 pieces of counterfeit RM100 notes. Low Wei Loong committed the offence in Jalan Mutiara Emas Utama, Taman Mount Austin at around 4.30am on May 10. The RM100 notes were found in his wallet. He was charged under Section 489C of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of up to 10 years. He was previously sentenced to a year’s imprisonment by the magistrate court here on May 21 for stealing a car. Sessions Judge Mohd Nasir Nordin sentenced Low to five years from the date of arrest. Deputy Public Prosecutor Dzul Iswari Mohd Jaafar prosecuted while the accused was not represented.
