SINGAPORE - The Court of Appeal on Wednesday rejected a bid by a British drug trafficker to raise legal questions related to his sentence of 20 years' jail and 24 strokes of the cane for two sets of drug offences committed in 2016 and 2018.
In dismissing Yuen's case, Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon said the legal requirements for the court to allow his application had not been met. Investigations revealed that he had turned to selling drugs to support his lavish lifestyle and repay his gambling debts. He was unrepresented when he appealed to the High Court against the sentence. The appeal was dismissed in November 2018.
