A local man was sentenced to four years’ jail with two strokes of the cane on Tuesday after he pleaded guilty to housebreaking for theft.
Intermediate Court Judge Pengiran Masni binti Pengiran Haji Bahar handed the sentence to Mohamad Saufiq Firdaus bin Haji Mohd Yussof.
The court took into account the defendant’s lack of remorse with previous convictions, his recent release from prison and the distress caused to victims.
